The Cruisers Called In
How to dispose of the fishery difficulty has
long been a question of perplexity to the
Dominion government. The matter has
been discussed in every phase at different
cabinet meetings OF the Council, and yester-
DAY another long session was held with the
ministers all present Itwas decided 10 send
at once to the Colonial Office proposition
for the appointment of commission TO urge
that Great Britain take immediate steps to
Minister In London. In the meantime, all
cases OF seizures, when there has been no de-
liberate intention Of infringement Of the
law as held by Canadians, WIN be left 10 20
by the board, and fines imposed and paid un-
der protest, will be refunded. 1t is thought
this action will tend to harmonic the pres
ent badly mixed state of affairs. Secretary
Chapleaux will.himself explain to the Amer
lean Secretary Of State the "Quigley" flag
incident, and express regret that it ever Oc-
CURED. At this late day the government sees
the error OF the bull dog and bulldozing poll
ey all along pursued. The exports Of fish to
the. American markets have 50 decreased
that some early adjudication of the existing
lm0rOgllo is considered necessary. The
cruisers are now, with one exception, all in
winter quarters, and it Is very likely they
will never again be made to do the same SER
vice as this year. Capt. Quigley will be sent
to do other work which will occupy his at
tentiOn for the next year. IL Is stated on
good authority that the case against the Ella

A MOUNTAIN LroN,s PREY.


How ne Stole a Mig Horn sheep and
Carried IL Across a Wide Chasni.
A legion of mountain lions have issued
from the businesses of tho Big Horn Noun
tains, Wy, during the past winter to prey
upon the stock of the Big Horn basin.
Sheep have been carried of in open day
from herds, with herders looking on. The
ranch precincts have been invaded and
colts and calves killed in corrals and out
houses. Quite number Of the savage
pests have been slain, but their depredn-
tons still continue. An apt illustration Z
the daring strength and savage nature OF
the Rocky Mountain lion has recently been
given. Hsssrs. Conant and Lehman, tho one
famous in oil circles and the other WELL
known and wealthy stockman Of the Big
Horn, were out for weeks hunt One day
they shot and wounded an extremely large
Big Horn, or Rocky Mountain sheep. The
wounded animal made of for the almost in
accessible s'roughs of Medicine creek.
Fearful Of losing their fine quarry. the
hunters toiled through the snow OH the
blood-marked track. They finally came in
sight of the crippled Big Horn, struggling
on in gallant effort to reach a place of
safety. The sight of the game quickened
the steps Of the hunters, and they were
rapidly drawing within gunshot. Conant
was already calculating the distance, when
there arose upon the air the ear-splitting
scream Of the mountain lion. The Big
Horn abruptly halted as the dread cry
reached him, and terror drew from him the
most pathetic bleats. His fate was upon
him. From an oyerhanging clif there
swiftly leaped o tawny mass, and the bleats
of the sheep were hushed by the fanes Of
the lion. Hurrying onward the hunters
hoped to bag both Of the animals. After
inishing the work Of destruction the lion
raised himself on his launches and leisure
ly and insolently surveyed his approaching
foe. Then grasping the carcase Of the Big
Horn, weighing fully $50 pounds, in his
dripping jaws, he lightly swung IL across
his powerful shoulders and moved easily
away. A few steps brought him to the
brink of tremendous cham, fifteen feet In
width. With no hesitation he spranc ont.
and, with the earcase Of the sheep still in
HE grip, hid his long, 1.-THE body in the in

about forty miles west Of North Platte, Neb.

breaking his lariat rope at night. To make
sure Of identifying the animal, and without
disfguring him by brands or ear sits, my
friend ordered silver and gold earmark,
two tubes, one fitting into the other and
fastening through the ear o good deal like
lady's earring. Upon the gold disc Of one
Of these ornaments he had engraved the
horses name and age, and upon the other
the owners name and address. Set In each
disc was o diamond weighing about six
karats, and making very pretty decoration
for really handsome horse. am told
that the ornamentation of favorite horses
with these earrings set with diamonds is not
uncommon among wealthy ranch owners OF
the West.
