turning from Ashland and when within 500
yards of the Miners Hospital, he was sud-
denly pounced upon by the catamouni,
which, he says, is fully 10 feet long from
tip to tip. 1t felled him to the ground and
was sinking its fangs into his leg when a
teamster, named Westenhoffer, attracted b =
the boys screams, rushed to the scene aud
after desperate struggle saved the boy.
The catamount made its escape. Man and
boy are seriously injured and 1t is feared |
that the boy cannot recover. The inhab- |
itants have sent an armed band out to slay |
the terror, but as yet met with no sue
cess.
