"The surroundings were a veritable Jungle. All that could be seen of him was about one-hulf. from the tall up; the balance of the body was sub-

He rolled over and over, threshing the mud and water In all directions. “When op|Kirtiinlty offered, another noose was thrown over the lower Jaw, making a scissors lock hold. They kept him turning and rolling until tie was perfectly helpless. “He measured 21 feet,’’
