Wrestling With a Tiger.

Two brothers. Khuda Bakhs and Shaikh Abdul Ghuni of Moradabad, were dispatched to Rampur on an errand, and whUe ratering a grove at Khadpura, says the Indian Daily Telegraph, a tiger sprang upon Khuda Bakhs, who, being an athlete, warded off the blow aimed at him with his right hand and caught one of the paws with the other and maintained his hold, though the tiger was mauling the other hand. Abdul Ghani now rushed up tvith a stout stick, which he forced down the tiger’s throat, making it release his brother’s hand, when Khuda Bakhs seized another paw with his wounded band, forcing both paws .back. He wrestled with the tiger; keeping It down by sheer force, while Abdul Ghani killed it with his lathi. The tiger was carried by the brothers to his highness the nawab of Rampur, “w \ept the skin as a memento and sent Khuda Bakhs to the state dispensary for treatment.”
