Seated in her studio, Miss Lulu Vere Childers, director of music of Howard university, spoke of her favorite masters, discussed the musical side of Howard university and enthused over the bright prospects of the next session. It is a fact that this young woman has worked up a department in Howard university during the four years that she has been at that school. The musical side of Howard had not been developed, but since the coming of Miss Childers the university has won a place in the musical world that is indeed enviable. Vesper services at the old school had fallen into disfavor and were not attended, oratory and athletics were the only institution Howard still has spectacular standpoint, but now Howard has her vested chair, and the song services, cantatas, oratories and other musical entertainments are the delight of Washingtonians. The social side has improved wonderfully also, and from about $500 in MISS LULU VEHRE CHILDREN. come per annum four years ago the musical department has increased its income to near $1,200 per annum. The students in that department have increased in the same time from eleven to fifty. This gives an idea of the great work done by Miss Childers. But Miss Childers is exceptionally fitted for her work. She has studied extensively in her chosen profession. Besides the paintings of the great masters that decorate the walls of her studio, there hangs a diploma of bachelor of music from Oberlin. She has just finished a course under William Shakespeare, the celebrated London voice instructor; she has studied in Chicago Musical college, in Detroit, Mich., and under some of the greatest private instructors in the United States. She teaches all branches of music and takes especial pride in teaching voice culture and the art of directing. Closely connected with Miss Childers is her able assistant, Miss C. Beatrice Lewis, who is an accompanist of much promise. Miss Lewis has studied in the New England Conservatory of Music and has the soul and temperament of a musician. These two young women have given a decided improvement to the musical side of Howard-have, in fact, given a tone of culture to a hitherto undeveloped field. CURRY INSTITUTE'S SUCCESS.

Chandler of Columbus, O, who was assisted by the Rev. George A. Smith, and two able addresses by President E. W. B. Curry. Uplift by Self Help. The Negro's destiny is in his own hands and no one else, and it is up to him not to wait to be lifted up by some one else or race, but he must do so himself by plaus and useful living. He must make himself an agreeable citizen by doing his whole duty as a man and a clitine, own property, get an education, learn industry, pay his taxes unseen, and learn to obey the laws. Don't go about always complaining about this and that; this is a wide world and plenty to do in it. Let us get busy and know our place and stay in it—Natches Weekly Record. CHUNG SING TELLS POLICE HOW ELSIE SIGEL WAS SLAIN. New York—Having learned Tuesday through the statement of Chung Sin, who forced the terrible "third degree" for which the New York police are notorious, that Leon Ling killed Elsie Sigel, the detective department is working with renewed energy to find the Chinese murderer. Under the terrific pressure of the "third degree," the little Chinaman admitted that he had seen the body in Leon's Ling's room, that he had touched it while it was still warm, that he had touched it while it was still warm, that wached Leon Ling's preparations for placing the body in the trunk where it was found last Friday night. Chung Sin, in fact, if what was learned at the original courts building is correct, described almost everything concerning the murder of Mal Gen. Franz Sigel's granddaughter, except the actual commission of the crime. He denied any implication in it and protested stoutly that he was ignorant of the murder of Ling, supposed murderer. After the inquest he was taken before Coronet Harburger and held in $10,000 bail in the house of detention to await the inquest. New, York.—If the statement made by Chung Sing, accusing Leon Ling of having killed Elisse Sigel has given the authorities any tangible clew to the hiding place of Leon the police have not made it known, and it resumed its investigation. One report says Ling escaped by donning woman's garb, using part of Elisse Sigel's clothing. The discovery that Leon was bred an actor and the knowledge that all Chinese actors are trained to take female parts did not, on second thought, greatly impress the police with the idea that he would disguise himself. It is much more probable, the police believe, that their man either took船 as a sailor or cook, or has worked his way south into some of the obscure colonies on the outskirts of New Orleans, Baltimore, or Lydia Moffett, pretty and 17, was rescued Wednesday afternoon from a flat above a chop suet restaurant at 776 Eighth avenue, only a few doors from where Elsie Sigel was slain. Lydia had been lured by a Chinaman and held a prisoner six days by a middle-aged white man, the latter an opium flend. The drug fiend gave the name of George Tracey. BARE FRENCH NAVY SCANDAL Fleet Casting $700,000,000 Would Be Without Coal in Six Hours, Says Report. Paris. — The report of the parliamentary commission which investigated the naval scandals in France has been turned in. It is a scathing condemnation of the naval administration for the last ten years, and it makes an astounding exposure of the deplorable condition of the fleet for which France has spent $700,000,000 since 1899. The 350 pages of the report are filled with details of the inefficiency resulting from confusion and red tape, conditions that make French naval construction cost 25 per cent. more than the average. Perhaps the gravest feature of the exposure is the lack of reserve coal and ammunition supplies at the various ports and arsenals. One officer testified before the commission that at the end of a naval battle of six hours the ships would find it impossible to replenish and would be virtually out of commission. EARTHQUAKE SHAKES WEST. District, Supposedly Out of Zone of Grass- Valley, Cal. — An earthquake, the most severe shock expired perished in several years, occurred in this vicinity.

EXPLOSION KILLS 17 Women Volunteer for Rescue Work When Report Spreads That Sixty- Five Are Entombed—Official Says All Bodies Are Found. Wehrum, Pa.—Further search for bodies was made Thursday in mine No. 4 of the Lackawanna Coal & Coke Company where 17 men were killed and 16 injured Wednesday by the explosion of gas. It was being that all the bodies be taken out and that the reports of 65 being entombed were exaggerated. Only one American was killed. Inspector Joseph Willis uss of Altoona with a party entered the mine shortly after eight o'clock at night to ascertain whether anyone was yet entombed. All but two rooms of the mine were thoroughly searched and it was announced that it was thought more remote than the other. Converse Hammera has not yet set the date of an investigation of the explosion. Superintendent A. M. Johnson said that while the mine has always been regarded as non-gaseous, the explosion was due to the ignition of a pocket of gas by the open lamp of a miner. "The mine has been so free from gas for the last six years," said the superintendent, "that the state in Altoona has committed to open lamps. With 17 dead and 16 injured, I am of the opinion that every one has been accounted for who entered the mine." The mine has only been operating two days each week. Tuesday and Friday. Those in the mine had entered the shaft for their daily allowance of coal for family use. Grouped about the slope entrance of the mine just below the explosion were several Italianans. When the terrific subterranean upheaval of rock and deadly gas spouted skyward these Italianans were caught. Terribly burned and malmed, they rushed about the settlement crying for aid. The cries and sound of hissing mine gas at the entrance of the mine brought the entire town to the scene. Superintendent W. N. Johnson, backed by the office force of the company, stood at the mine entrance and held back the frantic women whose relatives were entombed. The first man to reach the surface was A. L. Johnson, son of the superintendent. Young Johnson had been sent to the mine where he on his arms, body and neck, and was stated he had inhaled flame. Following the superintendent's son came two italians, their faces burned to a crisp. They were attended by the mine physician. Superintendent Johnson called for volunteers to enter the mine. In the volunteer ranks stood several women. These were ordered back. With wet handkerchiefs tied over their faces, equals of the soldier party started driving the hole. Of who started, four came back with their senses. The others, overcome with black damp, were pulled to the surface with ropes. Oxygen, sent by the Cambria steel works, aided the searchers and with safety helmets, a fourth rescue party succeeded in bringing 12 bodies to the surface.

"My home carees were very heavy, for besides a large family of my own I have also to look out for my aged mother. There was no one to shoulder my household burdens, and come what might, I must bear them, and this thought nearly drove me frantic when I realized that my health was breaking down. "I read an article in the paper about some one with trouble just like mine being cured on Grape-Nuts food and acting on this suggestion I gave Grape-Nuts a trial. The first dish of this delicious food proved that I had struck the right thing. "My uncomfortable feelings in stomach and brain disappeared as if by an an incredibly short space of time I had not been there. I have gained 12 pounds, weight through a summer of hard work and realise I am a very different woman, all due to the splendid food, Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason." Trial will prove.

The National museum, which is being constructed at a cost of $3,500,000, will be completed within three months, will be occupied by both the National museum and the Smithsonian institution. The present museum building is so crowded that many of the most interesting collections that have been acquired by the government in recent years cannot be exhibited. Work on the new museum was started about three years ago. The plans were prepared by a firm of well-known Washington architects. Mr. Marshall and W. H. Holmes, the curator of the museum, spent months in inspecting the celebrated museums of Europe with a view to profiting by the advantages of the foreign museum buildings and avoiding the mistakes of other museums. The building is of white granite, with a massive dome, somewhat similar to that of the Congressional library. NO decision ever reached by the cabinet of a president created greater excitement than this pronouncement issued by President Taft a few days ago. The president wants the cook to stop sending up to him every day at one o'clock bread and apple and a shredded wheat biscuit for his luncheon. He wants substituted for it, the worldly of a grown up man. There must in future be a cup of soup, a bit of roast or fish, a vegetable or two, a seasonable desert or fruit, and a glass of iceed tea or buttermilk." The members of Mr. Taft's cabinet who have been conforming to the "simple lunch" habit set by their boss manifested their exultation by a chorus of joyful thanksgiving. They HOW James G. Blaine might have been saved from the effects of the famus blunder by Dr. Burchard in the campaign of 1884 is a story revived in Washington by the news of the death in Brooklyn the other day of Andrew Devine, long a reporter of the house of representatives. Devine was a friend of Blaine and was assigned by the Associated Press to travel with him in the campaign. He supervised Blaine's speeches and would furnish local data and make suggestion for replies to addresses of welcome. On the morning the delegation headed by Dr. Burchard called on Blaine, Devine was obliged to go to Brooklyn to attend the funeral of his wife's father. After the funeral, on returning to New York to join Blaine at the Fifth Avenue hotel, Devine saw an account in the afternoon newspapers of Dr. Burchard's "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion" speech and "BIB BILL" Taft went to the mat with Dan Cupid in the White House the other day and in 13 minutes had the little love god beaten to a pulp. For 12 minutes Dan gave the big fellow a fair tussle, but then the weight began to tell, and when the bigger man got a toe hold in a bunch of easy easy to pin the kid's shoulders to the floor. Ole Mald, who referred the bout, slapped Taft on the shoulder and called him a winner. There was little cheering. A fine big stork which acted as second for Dan few from the arena. The last heard of her she was loudly screaming for "Bwana Tumbo" or some other seaport. Dan may get well, but he'll never look the same. It is feared that he is injured somewhere near the ambition to shoot at soldier and sailor buttons. This has long been his favorite gunning and the blow given him by President Obama that may ruin what was intended—a likeness of the Taft tread. Taft wished in at 310 seaside and Dan tipped the beam at 26%. The big fellow looked fit and Dan was slightly nervous when it began. In other words, President Taft formally signed the new naval regulation which forbids midshipmen to marry within the six years of their cadet course. Heretofore the "middies" were kept away from matrimony during their four years at Annapolis. The two years' sea service which forbids midshipmen from undoing of many of the "middies" and many became married men before they had learned to use a safety ractor. The chambers are large and severely plain, as the plans do not provide for an elaborate decorative scheme. It will be the largest and most complete building in the world devoted solely to museum purposes. The British museum consists of two main buildings, the main building of its space is devoted to the library. The National museum is devoted principally to the natural history and Indian history of the United States. It also contains exhibits illustrative of the various surveys from the early Indian trails down to the geological survey of the present time and the material results of those surveys. The new building will be used almost entirely for the exhibits relating to the natural history of the other exhibits will remain in the present building and with the Smithsonian institution. The site is at Tenth and B streets and in the park system known as "The Mall." That site was selected in accordance with the Burnham plan for the beautification of Washington which contemplates acquisition by the city of all of the city between the capitol and White House grounds and between Pennsylvania avenue and the Potomac river. have all fallen into the practice of going over to the Metropolitan club, where they serve a fine lunchon, and negotiating the entire bill of fare, from soup to cigars. Secretary of State Knox, who doesn't weigh much more than three ham sandwiches, has gained ten pounds already, and Attorney General Wickersham, who was the only member of the cabinet that refused to adopt the simple life lunchon, has the laugh on his associates who did. The president inaugurated his new policy of taking three square meals a two-personal. First he found that the craftiness of the inner man were not satisfied with two and a half meals, and, secondly, his system of exercise has kept his weight down and he thinks he can safely return to the old way of working off three square meals. The president discovered some time ago that he could safely take care of three full meals by continuing his daily golf and horseback riding. Since Decoration day he has not missed a midday meal. Blaine's reply to it and realized that Blaine had made a fatal error. Upon arrival at the hotel Deyne sought Blaine and asked him about the speech, showing him the newspaper account. "Don't know a thing about it," said Blaine. "Did Burchard say that?" Blaine told Deyne how he had gone on the landing of the stairway to the delegation of ministers, head of Dr. Burchard. Dr. Burchard, Dr. Burchard, said, read his speech in a shining voice, and Blaine, who was thinking of what he should say in reply, did not pay particular attention to it. Blaine said also that he had been so admirably looked up to that time by Devine that it never occurred to him that he was likely to make a fatal error in agreeing to what Dr. Burchard had to say, and he had not heard the fatal expression of Dr. Burchard until Devine called his attention to it in the newspapers. "Of course, Mr. Devine," Biazne said, he know what I would have had that been called to my attention." Blaine's friends here say he always attributed his defeat more to Dr. Burchard than to any other cause. The new regulation came up during the Roosevelt administration. The fearless one sidestepped and passed it to President Taft. He was game and walloped Cupid in spite of the suffragette vote. Begging Letters. "The last kind of correspondence to yield to the seductions of a typewritting machine is begging letters," said a private secretary. "Not long ago a typewritter letter from an individual who needed aid was a rarity. With institutions, of course, it was different; a typewriter in their case was supposed to be a legitimate asset. But the general writer, even if he had access to a typewriter, was afraid to use it. Apparently he reasoned that a typewriter letter would give the impression that he couldn't be so very hard up after all, else he couldn't afford a typewriter, so he stuck to pen and ink. Now three-fourths of the begiming letters we receive are typewritten. That means he benefits instead of by that incidence proper, for we are so grateful for the lightening of our own labor that we give them something out of gratitude." The Drone.

Mrs. Burnett's Report Branch Meeting Statistics of Human Situations Murdered For Friendship of Friends—July Fourth, Six Days, Under United States Flag. The following report on lynching in the United States for the past twenty-seven years was given by Mrs. Idia Wells Burnett at the recent conference on the status of the American Negro which was held in New York. Mrs. Burnett said: "From its first manifestations, in 1892, in which fifty-two persons were lynched, down to the present lynching has been along the color line. Mob murder increased yearly until more than 200 victims were lynched in 1892, and statistics show that 3,254 men, women and children have been put to death in this quarter of a century. During the last ten years, from 1890 to 1909, inclusive, the number lynched was 90%. Of this number 102 were white, while the colored victims numbered 857. "No other nation, civilized or savage, burns its criminals. Only under the stars and stripes is the human holocaust possible. Twenty-eight human beings burned at the stake, one of them a woman and two of them children, in the awful indictment against American civilization—the grewsome tribute which the nation pays to the color line. "Why is noob murder permitted by a Christian nation? What is the cause of this awful slaughter? This question is answered almost daily—always the same shameless falsehood that Negroes are lynched to protect woman- Kate NHL. IGD WILL BARNET. hood. This is the never varying answer of lynchers and their apologists. All know that it is untrue. "Iinvestigations for the past fifteen years by the anti-lynching bureau, of which the speaker is chairman, in many cases have proved the charges to be false. "When the white women of the north came south to become 'migger teachers' they had no protection save that of Negro men, and not one of them has ever reported a criminal assault at the hands of one of these Negroes. The Springfield (IL) mob was led by a Russian Jew who had been there only a short time. Rioting went on for two days. The militia of the entire state was called out, two men were lynched, hundreds of people driven from home, all because a white woman had said that a Negro man had criminally assaulted her. A mad mob of thousands went to the jail, tried to lynch the victim of her charge, and not being able to find him, proceeded to pillage and burn the town and lynch two innocent men. "Later, after the police had found by physical facts that the woman's charge was false, she published a retraction, the indictment was dismissed and the intended victim discharged. But the lynched victims were dead, hundreds were homeless, and Illinois was disgraced. "As a final and complete refutation of the charge that lynching is caused by crime against women a partial record of lynchings is cited-265 persons were lynched for causes as follows. Unknown cause, 92; no cause, 10; race prejudice, 40; miscegenation, 7; informing, 12; making threats, 11; keeping saloon, 2; practicing fraud, 5; practicing voodooism, 2; and reputation, 8; unpopularity, 2; mistaken identity, 5; using improper language, 2; violation of contract, 1; writing insulting letter, 2; sloping, 2; poisoning horse, 3; poisoning well, 2; by White Cap, 5; vigilantes, 14; Indiana, 1; moaningish, 1; refusing evidence, 2; political cause, 5; by disputing, 1; disobeying quarantine regulation, 2; slapping a child, 1; turning state's evidence, 2; protecting a Negro, 1; to prevent giving evidence, 1; knowledge of lynching, 1; writing letter to white woman, 1; asking white woman to marry, 1; giving girl, 1; having smallpox, 1; concealing criminal, 2; threatening political exposure, 1; self-defense, 6; cruelty, 1; insulting language to woman, 5; quarreling with white man, 2; calculating Negroes, 1; throwing stool, 1; quarreling, 1; gambling, 1."

Side Rights on Newspapers Edited and Published by Negro Across the Sea—Our Publication of Tweets to Strikes Pages Printed in Book Form. BY JOHN EDWARD "DRUCE CRIT." We in America who are want to look upon the Africans as crass beathen will be surprised to learn that they have in that country a very strong and vigorous native press which has been doing duty since 1844. The first newspaper published by Negroes in America was Freedom's Journal, edited by Cornish and Eustwurm, who were also its proprietors. It made its appearance in New York city March 10, 1827. The first Kafka newspaper published in Africa was printed at Love-dile and edited for two years by Rev. B. Richard Rom, who died in May, 1902. It was called the Infabn. It ceased publication before 1846. Tipo Story, father of PETER H. BURGESS ALLAN K. 3064. Sog, father of the present editor of Iawl Labanta (Voice of the People), now published at Cape Colony, employed his leisure in collecting Kafir fables, legends and proverbs, fragments of Kafir history, rugged utterances of native bards, the ancient habits and customs of his countrymen and genealogy of Kafir chiefs, with striking incidents in their lives, which were published in a series of articles in this journal. Early in the fifties the Itaitunwya by Hyanga, or Monthly Messenger, was published in King Williams Town, South Africa. In 1870 the Lovedale Missionary press issued a newspaper called Isigdidm Sama Xama, which ran for seventeen years, Rev. Dr. Stewart being the editor in chief. In November, 1884, Mr. Tengo Jahavu established Invo Tontsundu ne Lissou, which is Kaffir for Native Opinion and Guardian, at King Williams Town. It is printed in Kaffir and English and is one of the ablest native newspapers in South Africa, ranking second to Izwi Lahantu (Voice of the People), published at East London, Cape Colony. In 1866 Knox Bokwe became Mr. Jahavu partner and retired in 1900. The paper is now run by Jaba'u & Co. limited. During the Anglo-Boer war it was suppressed for having published an objectionable (sic) article. It reappeared on Oct 4, 1923, as Invo Jahawnta Bomantai Afrika (South African Native Opinion). In October, 1901, there appeared a Kaffr Seuto journal, called in Kaffr Mahabo on be Baton. It was printed at Queenstown and edited by Rev Isaac Motsang. It ceased publication in 1902. In November, 1807, a trilingual (Kaffr, Seuto and English) called Iawl Labanta, Lentosa in bath and the Voice of the People, respectively, was issued at East London by the Eagle Printing company, composed of native Africans. Its first editor was N. C. Umhalla, and he was succeeded by the present editor, Allan K. Soga, who is, with the possible exception of my old friend Peregrino of the Spectator at Cape Town, one of the scrappiest members of the "fourth estate" in the dark continent. His editorial style is vigorous, direct and pleasing. He is also a writer of charming verses and one of the finest fellows in the whole of Africa. The South African Spectator and Colored South African is published and edited by Francis Z. S. Peregrino at Cape Town. It is issued fortnightly and is exclusively the organ of the colored race. It began publication in 1900, and as a newspaper it is "a live wire." On the west coast of Africa at Lagos there are two as ably conducted journals as one would wish to read—the Lagos Weekly Record, edited by John P. Jackson, and the Lagos Weekly Standard, edited by G. A. Williams. At Free town, Sierra Leone, is published the Weekly News by a company of African gentlemen. It has been published for twenty-five years, and it is an intelligent and comprehensive reflex of African opinionably and correctly stated. Its editorials are, some of them, classics. No Negroes in the world write purer English than these African editors, and their press Y. Z. &. PEREGRINO. will not suffer by comparison with that of any race or country. The News of Sierra Leone is printed in book form and carries from twelve to sixteen pages. Now, we have hardly begun to mention the papers edited and published by Negroes across the sea. The West India islands, East Africa, North Africa, Santo Domingo, Haiti and Liberia all publish newspapers, and all of them are discussing as earnestly as we on this side of the Atlantic the mighty problem of race. Some day we will all get together, and then will— Our echoes roll from soul to soul And grow forever and forever. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

Don't forget the $300 rally for the benefit of the A. M. E church July 22. A good time is in store. Died in our city on June 10, 1900 Mr. Geo. A. Washington departed this life Thursday morning at 10:30 o'clock, age 76. He was a patient sufferer with the dropy for several months. He always claimed hopes beyond and had abiding faith in Christ. He passed away peaceful, answering the roll call with gladness; his two daughters and a son were at the bed side at the time of his death. This reminds us that another old pioneer has gone. Mr. Washington was one of the charter members of the A. M. E. church and was well known as father of the church. He was loved by both old and young. His wife died twelve years ago. He leaves four daughters and three sons to mourn his departure. They have our sympathy in their bereavement. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the A. M.

Interment was in Floyd cemetery. [We all can say, how we wish was] HARSHALLTOWN ITEMS When the right man gets into the right place things move. The distant church under the able leadership of our pastor, Rev R. P. Palmer, for the past 8 months, has made wonderful programs along all lines. We found them practical without a building in which to worship, and with a membership of only 27, from this and almost chaotic condition, we have gradually charged. It was passed in the board on the 9th day of January, 1908 that we improve our church to the amount of $50,00k the contract was let the 10th day of March. We hadn't a dollar at that time. The work was completed June 3rd, and we have raided every dollar. We cannot my too much about our pastor, he is worth more than we can pay in money, so we make it up in good treatment. The second Sunday in June marked the brightest day in the history of the church, when the pastor preached his first person in the new church to a packed house, which in every way possible showt their appreciation to the pastor and officers for a display of their good judgment. We give this brief synopsis of our history that the raiders of the Byssander family may get an idea of the value of our pastor, whose leadership we have followed with pleasure. K. W.

After a most beautiful anthem rendered by the choir, prayer was offered by Rev. Sydney Allen, P. R. P. followed by a few introductory remarks by Bro. Geo. Ware which was very beneficial. The pastor of the church, Rev. Dr. Bingham, delivered the annual semion, which was full of thoughts touching on all points of the Star, also giving them many thoughts, emphasizing them to still hold a higher standard. His remarks were followed by an instrumental solo by Miss Lily Gray. after which a delightful duet was very much enjoyed by all. Royal Matron Hillon addressed the audience, and hoped that the excellent thoughts and grand lessons that were portrayed in the sermon would sink deep into the hearts and memory, and that they would be ready to recognize the sign of distress not only of the Chapter members, but all those who need succor, so that when this life ends we may all be able to say, "peace be still to all mankind."

MCAIL NEW YORK THE ORIGINAL HAIR GROWER We Grew Our Hair, Now Let Us Grow Yours with PORO TRADE MARK REGISTERED. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the grooming of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being initiated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs A. M. POPE.

Although the use of bloodhounds for tracking criminals still survives, another ancient use of these dogs seems to have died out. Bloodhounds wore at one time often called upon to assist an army in the field, the forces with which the earl of Essar suppressed the Irish rebellion in the time of Elizabeth, for instance, being accompanied by 300 dogs. In the Scottish clan fends and the wars between England and Scotland bloodhounds were regularly employed in tracking fugitive warriors, and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this manner. Wallace is said to have haken his pursuers by killing a follower and leaving the corpse for the hunt to find, while Bruce adopted the less cruel plan of wading some distance down a stream and ascending a tree which overhangs the water.
