Breeders’ Association. 
Walter S. Gurnee, Jr., of Oyster Bay, will 
judge bulldogs at the fifth annual show of the 
Breeders’ Association, held in conjunction with 
the Associated Specialty Club of Chicago, in that 
city, at the Bismarck Gardens, on Sept. 28. Mr. 
Gurnee is well known as a breeder, having pro¬ 
duced Rockhill’s Runt and Tommie, and he is 
the owner of Thornbury Master. 
Premium lists will be ready on Aug. 18 and 
may be obtained from the secretary, A. D. 
Gillette, Fort Salonga, L. I. 
A number of prominent Eastern exhibitors 
will show Champion Kitty Royal, which has a 
dash of Peter Pan in her blood lines; Crissie 
Denton and Deodora Delilah on their home 
grounds are a formidable trio and it will take 
a bit of going to attach their laurels. Champion 
Deodora Monarch will be added to the Western 
team of bulldogs. Added to this there is a 
particularly deadly female of the 'species in 
Michigan which, if rumor has it correctly, should 
augur a little anxiety for the Eastern intrepids. 
The Breeders have obtained a license and a full 
four point rating from the American Kennel 
Club for this show. 
Entries will close on Sept. 14. 
THROUGH UNEXPLORED GUERRERO.

and their cruel three-inch tusks bared on either 
side of the snapping jaws. 
I noticed that my guide and my men did 
not advance to meet the pigs, but turned inquir¬ 
ing eyes toward the top of the pyramid, as if 
estimating how many jumps would be required 
to reach the apex. Then a young son of one 
of the workmen precipitated matters by firing a 
load of fine bird shot from an old muzzleloading 
gun into a young pig at one side of the band. 
The shot went all too true, and with the first 
scream of the wounded javelin I found myself 
following the guide in headlong flight up the 
side of the earthen cone, the hundred or more 
wild hogs hot at our back. The snapping of 
their teeth and their grunts of anger came all 
too plainly to our ears, as we strove to reach 
a square stone altar some fifteen feet in height, 
crowning the top of the pyramid. The guide 
reached this vantage point first, and lying flat 
on his stomach on the top, extended a helping 
hand to me just in time, for the teeth of the 
leader of the porcine band took the heel off rn: 
of my high hunting boots just as I scrambled to 
safety beside the guide and the rest of the work¬ 
men on top of the altar. 
Around the bottom of the square stone altar, 
made for worship of strange Indian gods, and 
used for refuge by the ’first white man who had 
ever gazed on these ruins, gathered the horde 
of little wild hogs, fearless and angered to the 
fightine point by the cries of their wounded 
comrade. There we laid for three hours, 
while the javelins snarled and jumped and strove 
to reach our resting place. Then of a sudden 
the leaders of the band turned about in their 
tracks faced off the pyramid toward the thickest 
part of the underbrush, snorted, began a series

of squeals and grunts and followed by the entire 
band struck off headlong into the jungle. 
“El tigre! el tigre!” whispered the guide, 
scarcely above his breath, and as the horde of 
wild hogs struck the underbrush, we could hear 
the crash of some heavy body further out in the 
jungle, while the squeals of the javelins grew 
fainter and fainter as they settled down to the 
pursuit of their old-time enemy. Later we proved 
that the guide was right by finding the tracks of 
a iarge sized jaguar in the soft soil almost ob¬ 
literated by the stamping and tramping of the 
sharp pig hoofs as the herd passed over them. 
The javelins seem to bear a lifelong grudge 
against the jaguar, or tiger, and according to 
the Indians, never lose an opportunity for attack¬ 
ing one of the cats. Only when cornered with 
no tree of sufficient size in jumping distance will 
the jaguar fight a herd of javelins, preferring 
even to swim a stream, much as he hates water, to 
meeting the sharp-tusked little fighters face to face. 
We discovered later that the name of this 
place was Chalchiutepetl—“The Hill of the Green 
Stone"—and by further explorations in one of 
the sealed chambers, which certainly had not 
been opened for ten centuries, we found the 
complete skeleton of a small dog. The bones 
crumbled to dust at the touch, but this was a 
case of a dead dog being better than a live lion, 
and these mute bones gave us some idea of the 
antiquity of the man’s faithful canine companion 
among these Indians. In the villages of this 
section to-day it is a tie between babies and dogs 
as to which are -the more plentiful. 
During a rainstorm here I was much sur¬ 
prised to see my native workmen cut leaves from 
the wild fan palms and fashion for themselves 
rain coats which shed the water perfectly. We 
stayed here about four months, taking out more 
than 2,500 relics, idols, masks, skulls, beads and 
various objects, including a stone tablet three by 
two feet, covered with hieroglyphics, which I 
then believed to be the Rosetta Stone of this tribe 
of Guerrero aborigines, but which has never been 
deciphered. This ruined city is peculiarly rich 
in hieroglyphics, and it is more than probabU 
that the unlocking of this large carefully carved 
stone tablet would reveal the meaning of the 
carvings on the ruins, and tell at least some 
fragments of the identity and history of the great 
race which peopled this part of Guerrero.

Compensation for Injuries .—The danger of 
bodily harm to which a warden is exposed is no 
slight matter. In Pennsylvania, where injuries 
of this kind have perhaps been more frequent 
than elsewhere, the secretary of the game com¬ 
mission in his report for 1904 declared: 
“Nine of the officers of this commission have, 
during the past summer, been called upon to 
meet armed resistance, three having been shot, 
and one of them very seriously. This man while 
attempting to arrest an Italian, whom he caught 
in the act of killing robins, was deliberately shot 
by a companion and friend of the violator.” (Re¬ 
port Penn. Game Commission, 1904, p. 8.) 
And again in 1906: 
“We have had fourteen officers shot at dur¬ 
ing the present year. We have had seven shot, 
three of whom were killed, and three very seri¬ 
ously wounded; and one other, a gentleman of
