modest in dress, their houses are clean,
and their cooking good, Certain kinds
of cloth are made by them These peo

they keep all the domestic animals.
They are friendly TO the whites, never

A Girl and a wild Cat.

a romatic incident recently occurred
at tho ranch of Leonard Methen, about
live miles above Browns Valley, Cali
fornia. Mss Leonora Methen, daught er
OF MetEer, aged perhaps 16 pears, pos
sessed pei lamb which she very natu-
ally admired. On Thursday evening of
last week the lamb was missing. Leonora
observed about the yard tracks of an
animal, and thought thoy were that of
a California lion. There being no men
about the ranch, the girl dispatched her
mother to ncighbor for assistance to
hunt the wild animal Subsequently
concluding she would not wait for re
Inducements, Leonora loaded her six
shooter and shot gun, and placing her
dog Bexer on the scent and tracks
started out alone to capture the beast,
if possible. After going some distance
an climbing high hill, an animal,
which proved to be the wild cat, was
seen in the top of live oak tree. The
girl then took aim with her pistol aud
fired but missed the animal A sc cond
barrel vas discharged when the wild cat
tumblcd from the tree A brief fight
then occurred between the dog and the
wild cat, hen the latter got away and
ran down the hill. A pursuit was made
by the girl and two dogs-another one
having come up in the meantime.
The wild cat was overtaken and finally
killed by the dogs aud with rocks thrown
by the girl. The victor seized her prize
carried it to the house, where, by that
time the mother had returned with neigh
o eagar for hun. On examining the
head Of the Wild cat it was found that
the pistol ball entered his right eye and
ranging downward passed out at the
forcshosldcr The animal weighed thirty
pounds and measured three feet and
one inch from tip to tip. The young
LADY very naturally feels proud over her
achieymeut.
