Show ROOSEVELT AMBITION REALIZED. Bowles Over Three Lions In Three Shots, a Fourth Being Killed by Kermit. Nairobi, British East Africa. Pour lions were trophies of ex-President Roosevelt's camp in the Mau hills Saturday night, and the two hundred or more native followers were rejoicing rejoic-ing with the American party in the celebration of the unusually good luck. The lions were bagged Friday, and Colonel Roosevelt's mighty gun brought three of them to earth, each on the first shot. Thus one of the president's fondest ambitions has been realized, and he is proud, too, that the fourth jungle king fell before the rifle of his son, Kermit, who, however, took three shots to kill his quarry. Both father and son are jubilant. It was their first lion hunt, and so magnificent mag-nificent a kill was far beyond their expectations, but lions have been plentiful plen-tiful In the hills for the past month, and the English hunter, W. W. Selous, has been out for several days laying plans for their extinction. How well he succeeded can be seen of the results re-sults of Friday's chase. |
