A CArAMoUNr CHoKED TO DEATH ny A MAN
Quite thrilling incident occurred few
weeks ago, some five miles above here on the
Mississippi side Of the river. Two men, NJ
and A., occupied cabin, in close proxiin-
ty to which they were engaged in repairing
leyees dilching, &c. Early one morning, as NJ.
emerged from the cabin door, to his surprise he
discovered very large catamouut crouched un-
der the corner of it, 1t Immediately sprang
upon him, biting his leg and Otherwise scratch
ing him. He alarmed A., but ere he could come
to his assistance, he had discngaged himself, and
ran in the cabin, the animal following him as far
as the door. BY this time, A. had the gun pre-
pared and aimed at him rs he caught his eye.
The gun snapped three times in consequence of
dampness In the meantime M. seized a spude
to attack him, but A. caused him to desist as he
wished to shoot him. Becoming satisfied Of the
inutility Of the gun, he turned to lay it on The
bed; the moment he withdrew his gaze from the
catamount, it Ieaped distance of ton or twelve
feet upon his left shoulder, and bit and scratched
him very considerably. Perceiving the danger
of his friend M. wished to kill the catamount
with his spade, but Was persuaded by A. to de-
sst After short struggle, A. succeeded in
0rasp;np the animals throit in his right hand
which caused it TO relax its hold. He then threw
it upon the bed and actually cLoked u 70 death
We are glad to learn that the wounds of the two
individuals engaged in this affair have not proved
dangerous, from which they will recover IN a
few days-Ldhe Providence (La,) Rep.
