A Fierce Creature Is the South
American Wild Boar.
HE IS SMALL, BUT FEARLESS
Will Attack Man or Any Animal In Ex
istence on the Slightest Provocation
? nd Will Fight to the Death ? A Bat
tle With a Jaguar.
During one of his Journeys Into Mex
ico Edward \V. Walton, a mining ex
pert. had a close call from being sliced
to shreds by the fierce little South
American pigs known as peccaries. He
told the story of his escape to a Den
ver Post reporter.
"1 wished to secure some plumes
from a number of the beautifully plum
ap-d birds." said Mr Walton. "I went
Into the jungle and came to a small
opening In which there were dry
leaves, probably a foot In depth, cov
ering the ground, and hundreds of
beautifully colored tropical birds In
the air and In tin? trees. I flred at one
of I he birds In flight, when It seemed
to me the whole area of these dead
leaves arose In front of and all around
me. Being a stranger, naturally I was
much frightened, especially when I
saw the animals which raised up the
leaves apparently ready for an attack.
The older animals opened and closet!
their mouths, showing their big. sharp
tasks, formed much like a dirk knife,
and some of them started toward me.
Impulsively I commenced firing my
gun In the air and turned around,
which seemed to stop most of them
momentarily, and as I had lots of car
tridges I kept up the shooting, and
they turned and ran away. I found ,
afterward that I had saved my life ,
by so doing and by not shooting any of 1
the animals. .
? I Dose animals provea to do pecca- ,
rles. Thc.v arc most ferocious and will ,
attack any animal In existence on the ]
slightest provocation. When I got |
back to headquarters and told my com- [
panlons my experience I was Informed ,
that had I shot one of the animals and ,
made hliu squeal the whole bunch ,
would have boon on me and would
have torn me to pieces quickly. They ,
have been known to kill bears, jaguars. .
cattle, horses and any number of dogs. ,
Although In the tight scores of their ,
number might be killed, they seem to ,
have no fear when once aroused. I
"I was told the peccaries burrow un- ,
dcr the dry leaves to protect them
selves from mosquitoes and other |
winged pests of that hot country. My
friends had many exciting experiences (
to tell in regard to these ferocious lit
tle animals. One of this party, while
traveling with a companion In a wag- |
ou. stopped for lunch under some trees
and turned their horses out to graze.
While at lunch a large bunch of pec
caries appeared, and they thought It
would be nice to shoot among them
and get oue or two for meat, so they I
tired into them, wounding several,
which commeuced to squeal. Thou the
whole bunch made an attack. The meu
climbed quickly into the wagon aud
kept ou shooting so long as the am
munition which they had In their
pockets lasted. As they were opening
their bags to get out more ammunition
the peccaries climbed up the tongue
of the wagon aud jumped luto it, and
the men saved themselves only by
Jumping on to the seat aud then on to
limbs of the trees, the peccaries taking
possession or the wagon and tearing
tliiugs to pieces. They remained in
possession for hours, the men watching
them from safety In the trees."
The peccary, or South American wild '
boar, is the smallest of his species, av- .
eragiug about three feet long, nor Is
the animal possessed of auy unusual
degree of streugth. To make up for
the natural individual deticlencles In
combat with the more powerful ani
mals of the Jungle the peccaries al
ways travel lu large herds. Wheu once
attacked by a herd of peccaries the
outcome Is ueariy always death to their
enemy. The little pigs are armed with
short sharp tusks, and uo matter how
great the slaughter or their own uum
ber during the melee' the herd stay on
the Job until the work Is tinisbed.
Travelers In tropical and South
American countries tell of tierce en
counters between the peccaries aud the
Jaguar, the mouster cat which is lord
of the forest. The jaguar has a fond
ness for a dinner of pork, but a whole
some respect for the power of a herd
of wild pigs. Whcu he wants to sat
isfy his cravings for a pork diet he
drops from a limb of a tree on to the
back of a straggler in the peccary
herd. The jaguar slays his victim and
then retreats hastily to his tree be
fore the herd can get at him. When
the herd grows tired of waiting for
him to come down and moves along
the jagnar desceuds and enjoys his
meal at leisure. Frederick Selous in
bis romance of the animal world has
an lnterestlug account of a light be
tween a jaguar and a herd of pec
caries. The pccc: ries had the Jaguar
treed on the limb of a tree from which
the bark had rotted away. Lie was
only a few feet above them and by
harassing and Jumping at their enemy
finally succeeded In bringing the con
flict to the ground. After the fight
was over there were eleven killed aud
wounded peccaries, but the jaguar was
literally torn to pieces.

GAYNOR LONG IN PUBLIC EYE.
Career of Noted Jurist, Democratic
Nominee For Mayor of flew York.
Judge William J. Gaynor, who has
been nominated by the Democrats for
mayor of New York, has been before
the public for many years, and by poli
ticians generally is regarded as a radi
cal. Ills last appearance in the lime
light was when he championed the
cause of George Duffy of Brooklyn,
iv hose picture was lu the rogues' gal
lery and who declared that although
lie had never l>een cod vie ted of a
crime the police refused to remove his
picture and arrested him without prev
ention on many occasions.
It was the Duffy case which result
ehI In the dismissal of General Bing
ham from the ottico of police commis
sioner. Judge Gaynor caused an In
vestigation of the case, and Mayor Mc
Clellan held that young Duffy had
been improperly treated by the police.
Judge Gaynor previously attracted
:>ubllc attention, when, In lflOt!. he held
hat It was Illegal for the Brooklyn

Knpld Transit company to charge
more thau one face to Coney Island.
I'hls decision was rendered In the caso
>f a Dr. McFarlane, who bad refused
:o pay the two fares regularly col
ected by the railroad company. Many
;bousnuds of New York residents re
member the riots which followed tho
issuance of this decision. Tho Sunday
jrowds bound for Coney Island de
fined to pay the two fares, and the
entire police force was required to pre
rcnt luclplent rebellion. Hundreds of
persons were Injured. A few days
ater Judge Gaynor advised all travel
ers to pay the two fares until the
higher courts could pass upon the de
cision. This stopped confusion. The
jpper courts held that it was legal for
,he company to charge a double fare.
Judge Gaynor first attracted public
attention when bo took part lu the In
vestigation of the election frauds at
liravesend lu 1S93. As a result of this
Investigation several men were sent to
l>rlson, and one of the most corrupt
"election gangs" New York city ever
knew was broken up. This made Judge
Qnyuor a conspicuous figure, and a
<liort tlujg. later bv wa.s uoaUoafc'd by
the TU'fniKHc'anJj and Iriilepetulent Pom
ocrats for a placo on tbe supreme court
bench. He 'was elected for fourteen
years In 1803 and was re-elected In
1007 and assigned for service in tho
appellate division.
He was born In Whltestown, New
York state, fifty-eight years ago and
went to Brooklyn lu 1873 to do news
paper work. He bad received an edu
cation In tbe Whltestown seminary and
a school In Boston. While doing news
paper work he studied law and was
admitted to the "bar In the early sev
enties.
Judge Gaynor Is one of the executors
of the estate of William ZJcgler, for
mer head of the baking powder trust,
who left between $30,000,000 and $35,

Bores on her legs all last summer. Her
feet were sore, too, and she couldn't

by running through weeds but tho doc
