An EXCITING FIGHT WITH 4 LOrPCER.
WEIR.

DR.. c. +. Ware, of Bucksport, had rather
an exciting experience with loup-
cervier last Tuesday evening. Some of
his friends had been spending the even
ing at his house, which is situated on
Seminary Hill, and at about nine o'clock the
doctor took small lamp and started for
the cellar after some apples. A portion of
the cellar is used for piling wood, and as he
neared the bottom of the stairs he heard
footsteps, and then some of the wood rat
tied down, ~ if "A man was moving about in
the cellar. Raising his lamp in order to got
better view the doctor advanced a few
steps, when he saw huge loupceryier that
had made its way through a basement door
that had been accidently left open. He
picked up stick of wood to club the ami
NAL, but il jumped from one side of the eel
lar to the other SO rapidly that he could not
strike it. He then went up stairs and pro-
cured revolver and after telling the folks
to keep the sitting room closed he returned
to the cellar again This time he found the
loupceryer perchcd on the edge of the coal
bin, and shot at it. when the animal Jumped
to the top of the wood pile, some fifteen feet
distant. The doctor then tried another shot.
and as the lamp chimney fell off leaving him
in total darkness, he was Obliged to 90 M
stairs and get another lamp. On his return
to the cellar he fired two more shots when
the lamp chimney again fell off. and while
in the dark the lOupceryier bounded past him
and ran up the stairs and started mn
second flight, but being unable to
proceed on account Of a door. he came
down again and rushed into the pantry
Here he perrhed himself upon a large oil can
where he remained until the doctor fired
another shot, when he started out of the pan
try, and being attracted by the light coming
through a window over the sitting room door
he made jump for ii, but fell back again
and ran down cellar. His course was marked
with blood which was flowing quite freely.
and after procuring a lantern the doctor fol-
lowed him to the cellar where he again fired.
when, much 10 his disgust the concu,, sion put
the lantern out. lie went up stairs and light
ed it again, but on his return he found that
the loupcervier had disappeared and "A, there
are no tracks leading from the house it i. sup
posed that the animal crawled under the
wood and died. 1t was quite remarkable that
during the whole fight the loupcervier did not
attack the doctor Baagof wing.
