It is stated at Penang that a young rhinoceros was captured by some Kedah Malays last Monday, in a dry well, about a mile from Pinang Tunggul station. The tracks of a very large rhinoceros were distinctly seen near the post. The Malays there complain of the destruction of their padi by these animals. Here is a fine opportunity for the lovers of big game sport. The young rhinoceros referred to has been purchased by a gentleman at Butterworth.
