Last week Mt Sunhower Fiat, near
Mountain City, n couple more cattle we've
killed by benrs. The Times Review says
the animals slain were n tw~o.year-old
bull and a COW, and as the ground was
badly torn where the carcasses we've
found, il is evident that they made n des-
pcraie fight before succumbing to their
UIsine enemies. None Of the flesh was
eaten and it appeared as though the
beIrs were ac;natcd by pure cussedness,
father than hunger. in their murderous
attack. About tf.rt.S head o! cattle have
been killed in that vicinity this season
