From the st. Joseph Herald, Goth
The people in the nsigbborhood Of
Taos are just now very much exercised
over the presence Of some large, wild
animal that roams the woods at night,
aud is making havoc with the sheep aud
cattle Of the nsighborhood. Its presence
was first known on last Saturday, one
week ago, when it entered the village Of
Wallace Station, n little town few miles
from Taos, in the evening, just after dark,
and killed five or six dogs, and during
the night ate the heads Of two or three
Of them. Since tho. time it has been
frequently seen in the nsighborhoOd of
Taos, invariably just about dust, but early
enough to plainly distinguish ito form
and size, although those who have seen
it cannot toll its color. 1t il said to BE-
fully three feet in height and six or seven
feet long. Ono gentleman who has seen
it and examined its tracks, says that it is
genuine California lion. One night
last week a coonhuntlpg party came upon
it and discovered it in the top Of . tree.
The California lions are said to b. good
climbers.
Mr.. W. A. Brooker, . farmer living
within about mile Of Taos, gave US the
facts and said that on last Thursday
night, while carrying sack of -four
through the woods from Taos to his
house, he met the animal in ravine,
short distance from his house. Both he
and it storped-ho throw down his sack
Of -four and gave yell. The animal
stood perfectly still aud looked coolly at
him, his large eyeballs glttcring in the
dark. MIR. Brooker gave another yell
and the animal loped slowly away, max
ing the brush crack as it went. 10 the
morning its tracks in the light snow were
examined, and the points Of its paws
were longer than mans hand when
spread our. Its huge claws showed by
their marks to be two inches long
AT present it contents itself with kill.
ing hogs and sheep. Mr.. Brooker in.
forms US that his neighbors intend to
capture the fellow, both to save their
stock and as matter Of safety to them
selves, as any one passing through the
woods at night would be u tempting meal
for his savage lionship. Exactly what
it is no enc knows but that it 10 some
very large wild animal, not common in
this section Of the Ststo, 10 undoubtedly

toilet was perfect in every other respect.
What could she do in such trying mo-

would sncer at her trouble, the effect
would be disastrous on the lady's temper
