MAN-EATER AND WILD ELEPHANTS CAUSE DAMAGE|
The Mentakab man-eater has ¡not been heard of for the last two weeks, says an F.M.S. paper. Apparently the beast resents the persistent efforts of certain people who desire a closer ac quaintance with it. Nevertheless, the residents of the town still take every precaution to safe- guard their cattle and crackers are let off nightly to frighten the beast.
The tiger having temporarily ceased annoying the residents a herd of wild elephants is now obtruding Itself on the villagers. Recently the herd visited a paddy field and while engaged in des- troying the crop was fired at by the owner, a Malay who wounded a bull elephant. The Police, how- lever, viewed the matter different- ly and charged the Malay in the Police Court with shooting the elephant. The learned Magistrate fortunately took a different view and discharged the padi planter, it being maintained that the de- fendant acted rightly with a view to protecting his crops.
