Says Tiger

"Can Run With Heart Shot Out

Walter B. Townsend, mild-mannered College of Education hunts big game as a hobby. 410 Hampton » with all sorts of animal skins.

Drive, is well decorated From 1921 to 1924 Dr. Townsend was principal of an experimental school in Calcutta, India. To pass the time during vacations, he bought a 500-gauge hair-trigger big-game gun and started banging away with singular success. On Dr. Townsend's very first safari he “set up shop” in a tree beside a water-hole and waited. His risky seat proving a bit uncomfortable, he glanced about with a view toward readjusting his position. He looked into the gleaming eyes of a leopard.

Leopard Loses Interest

“My position in the tree made a shot at the beast impossible,” Dr. Townsend said. “For the leopard, it would have been but the work of a moment to reach up and snatch me from my perch. Although I admit to a certain quaking in the knees, my deportment was so admirable for the next 15 minutes that the animal finally lost interest and went away.” Later in the day the leopard returned for another look and Dr. Townsend felled him with one shot. Dr. Townsend's prize possession is the skin of a 12-foot tiger, reportedly the largest ever shot by an Ametrican. It is a magnificent 5-year-old Central Province cat which he bagged in December, 1923. He holds no brief for those who claim the lion is the king of beasts. “Shoot out a tiger's heart and he'll still run more than a mile,” Dr. Townsend declared. “There is on record a case in which a hunter, sitting at the top of a 25-foot tree, tore an enormous hole in a {iger’s body, ‘killing’ him on the spot. But such was the animal's vitality that, even after death, he made an amazing spring and seized his killer from the tree.” The Butler educator has, at one time or another, hunted almost every variety of wild animal. ' Elephants, crocodiles, panthers — “lead-pipe cinches” if you use your head, he said. However, he recommended no more than a nodding acquaintance with the wild buffalo. These beasts, it seems, sometimes become genuinely ruffied. Tigers Visit Camp

“One time,” he said, “1 went to the aid of five women missionaries in the interior of India. They lived in a house whose front yard was literally a camp ground for tigers, panthers and leopards. When I arrived, I found there was no room in the house and I was expected to sleep in a tent in the yard. I slept—or rather stayed—out there for a week. On various nights my tent was visited by several jackals and a tiger or two.” Dr. Townsend is to speak on his adventures at a Sons of the American Revolution meeting to be held in the Spink-Arms Hotel Wednesay.

HEALTH IS TOPIC Dr. Roy Lee Smith is to speak before the Rotary Club at the Claypool Hotel tomorrow noon. His talk on “Health” is sponsored by the vocational service committee.

gun and Flashlights Are Taken From Car.

Five youths were held today under $5000 bonds each after deputy sheriffs said they found firearms in their possession, They were arrested last night by deputies who had driven into a woods just south of U. 8. 52 on Kitley Road to investigate a five. The youths made no resistance as Deputy Ray Smith “covered” them with a gun and Deputy Robert Harritt slipped out of the police car to search them. They all denied ownership of the firearms and alleged loot confiscated, deputies said.

In the prisoners’ car, the officers said they found a pistol and revolver in the front seat. A sawed off shotgun, another revolver, several flashlights, clothing and all kinds of tools were found, they said. A pile of papers and check stubs which had been thrown into the fire were grabbed by the officers. A few hours later, deputies went to one of the youth's home, where a suitcase containing a revolver, electric clock, three flashlights, a fishing reel, keys and clothing were found, they said. One of the five youths, Francis Coonce, 21, living at a downtown hotel, faces a Federal charge of Dyer Act violation in connection with transporting an alleged stolen car from Indianapolis to Louisville, Harold Reinecke, head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation office here, said. . A warrant charging the violation was obtained following a hearing before U, 8. Commissioner Howard Young Dec. 10, Mr. Reinecke said. The warrant was to be served today. Fingerprints of the other four prisoners have been forwarded to Washington for checking by Federal agents, Mr. R Mr, Reinecke said.

‘SOCIAL’ TOKEN JAILS UNSOGIAL CALLER

Wrecking Bar.

Patrolman Preston Heater noticed early today that a filling station at 934 N. Senate Ave. had been entered feloniously. He notified headquarters and while other officers notified the manager, Patrolman Heater went into the station to wait. A man came to the broken door and the patrolman covered him with a revolver. Under the man’s coat he found a wrecking bar. The man said he had been to a social gathering. Police claimed the wrecking bar was antisocial equipment and booked him for vagrancy.
