A PANTHER FIGHT.

The Fur Often File. Until Ono or Both o.,
tho Combatants Dies.
Ihave often wondered what hindered
the cougars from being very plentiful.
They are monarchs of the woods, and
are very shy, with plenty of game and
cattle to live on. This spring l was
talking with an old cruiser "a man who
hunts for timber and good land claims),
who had followed the business for the
last twenty years in Oregon and this
State. He never takes gun, but car
ries only blanket and small axe. He
related that one night when he was
camping in the head of . ravine about
dark he heard cougar scream on
one Of the ridges. and this one was
answered by another on the opposite
ridge. They kept working toward the
head, until finally they came together
some three hundred yards above him in
some quaking aspen; and such a row
and racket as they made he had
never heard before. They rolled down
within one hundred yards of him; and
he says that he was pretty we'll scared;
hut he kept up big fire and stayed be-
hind that. They QUOTED down in a
couple of hours, and the next morning
when it was light enough, he went or
to the battle ground. He found one of
them lying there dead. all cut and torn
to pieces. 1t was . very large one.
Four days afte rwards, as he was coming
back the same way, some five hundred
yards from where he had found the first
one he had stumbled upon the other
one. dead. This, too. was all cut and
torn as the first had been. At another
time, in Oregon, he heard a big fight
going on. but did not 60 to see the re-
tolts. He was stopping one night with
an old Indian, who had hunted and
trapped all his life, and was telling him
about the fight, when the Indian said
that that was the way when two old
males met; one or the other was killed,
and very often both: and that whenever
the male would find the young ones and
the mother absent he would kill the
last one of them, but if the mother were
with them she would keep him of.
That must be the reason that the mother
goes with the young Unit. they are
nearly two years old. They say that
all the cat kind will kill their young.
We know that this is SO with the
domestic cat-Forest and Stream.

inadequate properly to protect either
the public forests from unlawful appro.
priation or the interests of the settlers.

night at 10:42 without struggle or pain.
Judge Millertwas born in Kentucky
in April, 1915. He studied medicine
and was graduated, from the Transyl Iva
MIA University of Kentucky. While a
practicing physician he made up his
mind that medicine was not his bent,
and while still practiciug he studied
law and was admitted to the bar. With
his sensitive, sympathetic nature he
suffered more than he could bear.
Judge Miller had the will and courage
OF lion with the heart Of child. =
Judge Miller is q statesman as we'll
as jurist. In 1s4s he was delegate
to convention with Cassius NJ. CLAW
and q number Of other such men, the
object being to suggest some plan for
the gradual emancipation Of slaves.
The effort ne YER came to anything.
and in 1880 he removed to Iowa and
soon obtained large practice. He was
an emancipationist and was the early
friend of Lincoln, Chase, Giddings and
Thads Stevens. The first and only
Office he ever held was on the supreme
bench to which Lincoln appointed him
in 1862. He is the oldest justice on the
supreme bench in pint OF service. He
