ATTACKED BY A PANTHER
A Colorado Nimrod's- Experience
in the Western Wilds.

in the Western WiIds.
Mr.. w. w. Taylor, of Ebert county,
Col, furnishes the following story of
his engagement with a panther; years
ago:
was sitting on a large oak log, close
to the bank of the river, when heard a
noise in the branches above me, and
looking ND saw sight that made my
blood run cold in my veins, and my
heart almost ceased beating.
Lying on large limb. scratching up
the bark, its eyes rolling in fury, was
a large panther. involuntarily grasped
my hunting knife and braced myself
for the conflict WEIGH was sure to come.
Lashing its tail furiOuSly in the air,
aside, its claws catching in my clothes,
almost carrying me along with it. l
quickly cut its claws loose with my
knife.
Again it attacked me. This time it
struck me with full force and bore me
to the ground. | began to use my knife
with deadly effect, it also using its claws,
scratching me up very badly.
Over and over we rolled, using both
knife and claws desperately. AT last [
managed to getin deadly thrust in the
now perfectly furious animal.
Giving most unearthIy yell it fell
over on its side, and the battle was
over. | tainted from excitement and
loss of blood.
When returned to my senses I i'm
mediately began to skin it. 1t was the
largest panther [ ever saw.
1t measured thirteen feet long from
the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail.
i have kept the skin with me in all
my hunting tours, whether hunting the
grizzly i'm Arizona or hunting the wolves
of Northern Russia, or chasing the king
of the forest in. the wilds of Africa.
Many is. the time have slept on it, in
all climes and all circumstances.

Chetwynd Pulls Out.

LONDON, July 6.-At meeting of the
Jockey club held last night, it was de-
cided to accept the resignation of Sir
George Chetwynd as member. Sir
George ChetWynd has written letter to
the Jockey club in which he says that
when he accepted arbitration of the
charges made against him by the earl OF
Durham, he believed that no tribunal
could condemn him. He denies that-his
resignation involves an admission Of the
Justice of the award of one farthing
made against him by the arbitratOrS.

BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE.
Secretary Window AbandOns the
Practice of Holding Public Re-
nentiOpS

WASHINGTON, July 6. Secretary
Window has abandoned the practice of
holding public receptions, and will
hereafter receive visitors by card only.
He says that he cannot give proper at
tention to the business of the depart
ment if he is compelled to listen con-
stantly to the appeals of Office seekers.
Ever since the 4th of March he has de-
voted the greater part of each day to
these callers, and he has finally corlz
cluded that he has about all the ine
formation he needs on the subject. He
says he was compelled to resort to the
new rule because of the lack of .eonsid-
Grafton shown by certain importunate
callers, who repeated the same story to
him day after day. He will. however,
continue to see all persons who call on
business, merely reserving to himself
the right to determine whe Their the
character of business is such as to re-
quire personal interview.

MR. EDIToI, What has become of our
friend the champion of the township unit
system? Are we left to conclude from his
protracted silence that they have gone into
thestill-hunt business in this matter? If so,
the people would like to know IL.
The honorable Secretary of our County
Board of Examiners said before the farm
ors institute in Bancroft last week that tho
proposition could not pass the Legislature,
and even If it could Governor Luce would
veto the bill. Now will his honor please
tell the people of this county why the bill
could not pass the Legislature, and why
Governor Luce would veto the same, in case
the Legislature should pass It. At least let
him give us his reasons for such concln-
sion.
If our friend, the champion, has dIscov-
cred, even at this late hour, that ne is on tho
wrong side of this question, we shall insist
that he evidence manhood enough to ac-
knowledge the fact.
would suggest farther that the people
keep an eye at least on the men whom VIC
have sent to represent US in the Legislature.
Remember. God helps soch as help them
selves. FRANKIE.
