ATTACKED BY A COUGAR.
A Hunters Desperate Fight In the south
crn Oregon Mountains.

A Hunter's Desperate right IN the SOUTH
ern Oregon Mountains.
Intelligence has been received here
from southern Oregon of the unfortu-
nate result of a conflict between u
hunter and a cougar. Ira Hill and a
companion of jackson county had for
several days been encamped in the
mountains about ten miles distant
from the Cow creek canyon. They had
met with much success i'll the pursuit
of deer.
Warned BY the abundance of
signs" they had exercised great eau
ton for their protection against the
large carnirerous animals which in
fest that region. Mr.. Hill, it appears,
on the day in question shot and
wounded a large buck. Notwith-
standing the severe injury, the ami
NAL, as it frequently happens, bound
ed away. Judging from the action of
he deer that the bullet had found its
mark, the hunter clambered down the
mountain side To the point where the
animal stood when the shot was fired.
An investigation verified his suppo-
sition. Hoping that the shot would
soon prove fatal, he traced, by the
blood in the trail, the flight of the
deer, several times seeing it, but never
obtaining an opportunity 10 finish
him. Wrapped in the excitement of
the chase, time passed unheeded.
Nearly exhausted with the severity Of
the labor, and despairing of success, he
began 10 aetrace his steps. Night
overlook han, and with il came that
peculiar deathlike mountain silence.
The gentleman confesses that he was
overawcd and frightened by the soil
.ude and gloom. After debating in
ais mind the ACCESSIBILITY OF hating
for the night. he decided to push on,
hoping ID ind his permanent camp
and relieve tie anxiety Of his friend.
While descending n ridge which ran
up from Il dark and narrow canyon.
without any Wa ming he was attacked
by an enormous cougar. Ia this
hand-to-haud conflict the rifle was
useless Dropping hat weapon, Inc
rev his hunting knife and made
what effort he could 10 defend him
self. For some time they fought
with the advantage greatly upon the
side Of The cougar. While the struggle
was at il, height, approaching near
the edge Of a steep declivity, man and
beast both went rolling down the
gulch.
Weakened by the loss OF blood and
stunned by contact with rocks and
powders, consciousness forsook the
hunter. He remained in this condi,
ton until well nigh morning. Re.
membcring the strength and ferocity
OF his antagonist, and fearing That il
still lurkod in The immediate vicinity,
he remained muiionless until sun up.
When lie did arise no trace Of the
animal could be found, Fearrully
bitten, scratched and bruised. nc made
his painful way to camp, and thence
to a point where the services Of a sur
geon could be secured .-Portland Ore,

there. James Young aud Henry

work on the exterior Of a cottage on

storm came up. They fed 10 the in

had passed and the sun was again shin

Just as each painter touched his
brush to the wet woodwork n flash OF
lightning came, followed quickly by
a crash of thunder, and a workman in
a nearby house saw both Of them fall.
Shortly aftcrward il was discovered
that both men were dead. although
their bodies bore no marks. save dull

Shipping boxes invented and patent
ed by him, which we consider very
valuable indeed, also very practical
ard ingenious. The FIRST one for
shipping eggs, contains when open
40 dozen yet when folded ready for
back shipment it does not average
more than six inches in height, thus
economizing space which is a great
item for lines of transport. The
other for fruit is yet more convenient,
its parts when in use allows entire
and perfect ventilation. also a hand.

about the same size as the FIRST. We
are inclined to think that patent
