SALT LAKE Utah, April 19.-One evening
lately a herd of Angora goats which are being
herded by Miss Teresa Tallert, on Little Lost
river, Idaho, came home early and rushed for
the corral, heavy log concern eight feet high.
They were shut in, and search toward the
foothills developed no cause for their alarm. In
the night Miss Tallert was aroused by her dog
whining at her ear, and, getting up, saw some
wild animals in the corral She went in and
saw four mountain lions, and without mo-
ments hesitation attacked them with an ak
Two of the lions jumped the corral and fed.
The other two rushed toward her, after the
goats. She dealt one blow with the AK, laying
its rdmp open to the bone. Then both fed.

Geneseo stripping, a youth without honor at
home and unknown outside Of the village limits
lin short. a good-for nothing young hummer,
apparently without single qualification that
would mark him as one likely to win in future
life so much as nod of recognition even from
the mghtiest soldier and most i,lustrious citizen
of the United States Of his day, And yet, if this
young scalawag had been shot in one of his
ribald sprees struck by lightning, General
Grant would in all human probability have been
rich and enjoying moderately good health to-
day; for, however obscure Ferd Ward was as a
boy, there was a certain devilish latent talent
there for cunning and wild speculation pos
sessed, perhaps, by no other hui
man being, and. as it happened,
those peculiar qualifications were so
directed as not only to hoodwink, deceive and
ruin the unsuspecting Grant but men Of ripe
experience in financial affairs. Had a sooth-
sayer appeared in Geneseo twenty years ago and
predicted such a future for the lad Ward, he
would have been sent to lunatic asylum as
dangerous character to be at large. Such
the mysterious ways of Providence in shaping
our ends here below.
