Bell and Silver King. Considerable work
has been done ON the Pride OF the West

A MONSTER LION.
The Experience of two Ranchmen ON the
Laramie River.

The Experience of two Ranchmen ON the
. Laramie River.
From the Laramie "Boomerang:"
young Englisnman who is staying on the
Stokes ranch, near the headwaters OF the
Laramie river, had q startling experience
the other night while out riding. Our IN
formant did not know the young mans
name beyond the fact that he is called
Joe. He was on his way from the noun
tains and was about half mile from the
house when he was surprised to meet fell
low who it is said, "set his teeth and bade
him return whence he came" This was a
mountain lion cub about six feet in length.
Joe had no gun with him and his first
impulse was to use club upon the crea.
ture, but conjecturing that il he did SO he
might be attacked by the mother lion, who
was probably close at hand, he put spur
and whip to his horse and took rapid
flight. He took around through the
bushes and reached home safely, but ter.
ribly afraid that the old beast was after
him.
He at once told his two friends, Fred
Forzshaw and Daniel Sullivan, OF the affair,
and they at once saddled two horses. and
with their guns, set out for the place where
the cub had been seen. On nearing the spot
they were astonished to find not only the
young hon. but also the mother. Being
short OF ammunition they did not attack
her, but returned to the house as white as
marble. They declared that the old beast
was fully thirteen feet in length. Had she
been there at the time oe was it is believed
that either his life or his horse would not
have been spared. He says he has been in
this country for over two years, shot bear,
etc, but such mountain lion or her cubs
he never wishes to come in contact with
again. Captain Manchester says the beasts
were starved, or they would never have
come 80 near the house.
