From the Beacon, November l3:
A casual observer would never have sup
posed that last week was an extraordinarily
good week for killing panthers, and yet
Messrs. N NJ. Aston, Joe Groesbock and
Johnny Girod succeeded in bagging five of
the beasts within two days time, down on
the hurricane few miles southeast of Ray
vile. They undertook to capture one Of
the gentle ~ creatures for pet, and sue
ceeded in getting lariat around his neck,
but he manifested so decided an objection
to the mode of procedure that they were
induced to dispatch him for prudential rea-
sons. If you wish to hear a graphic des-
crption of the affair, just ask Mr.. Aston to
relate his adventure with the panthers
where he has plenty of room tor gesticu-
lation.
