Cnmght q Big Irap.

Mr.. Alsop and one Of his men, John
Jackson, were looking around the rocks
one morning after their sheep, says the
Laramie (Wyoming) Bo0Hcr07g, when
the latter saw a crevice leading into
basin in the solid rock, which was about
forty feet in diameter at the top and was
shaped exactly like the upper half Of an
hour-glass. He thought he would 90
down into this basin and see what it was
like, when he observed another Inlet
close bv which seemed TO offer easier
passage. jackson walked around the
corner Of the rock and brought up very
suddenly when he found himself face to
face with an enormous mountain hon.
Mr.. Alsop happened to be close behind
him and coming mp at this luncture shot
the lion which rolled to the bottom OF
the basin and disappeared.
Being anxious to secure the hide OF the
lion. careful investigation was made,
and it was discovered that the bottom OF
the basin was hole about twenty feet IN
diameter. opening into cavity beneath,
into which the bcist had tumblcd. A
rough ladder was constructed and Mr.
Alsop descended into this curious cavern,
where he met a sight that fairly para
lived him for moment. lie found him
self in the lower half Of the hour
glass shaped hole in the rocks,
which carried ont the simile com
plctelv. The floor, which was of
solid sandstone. was forty feet across
and the sides stopped upward and in
ward to the neck dividing the lower half
from the basin above. As this neck was
but twenty feet wide it will be seen that
person or animal who fell TO the bot
tom would be in rocky room shaped
like an ink bottle right side NJ. 1t
would be impossible for human being
or beast OF any description once IN there
to escape without aid. By standing on
tiptoe it was Just possible for tall man
to reach the roof with the tip Of his
fingers and as impossible to climb ont as
it would be to scale the wall Of Holiday $
Opera House backward without a ladder.
In this cayernous room lay the dead
mountain lion, but he was not alone.
Nine more mountain lions OF the largest
size. so recently fallen in that their hides
were still whole, lay about, while the
hole was filled from one side to the other
with bones of every species of animal
ever known on the plains. They bad
fallen into the trap formed by nature,
and being unable TO get out had starved
I to death.

described as seldom seeing n dollar in

SUN for doctors bills, which is collected

with r given amount of coal for fuel
