DOG AND COUGAR IN A FIGHT.

AMail-Carrier's Canine Companion Makes
aGood Show Against Heavy odds.
Jim Mcmahon, who carries the mail in to
Vance, was riding leisurely along the trail
on February 23d, with the mail pouch slung
over his horses back, and his dog, a big,
courageous animal, brim full of fight, and
ready to tackle anything. from mouse to
bear, was trOttlng ahead Of the horse, occa-
Eionally making short excursions into the
forest through which the road winds, on
the trail of some wikj animal.
Suddenly, after having made a dash
through the brush. the dog came tearing
out Into the road, utterlng savage and fierce
barks, his hair bristling and showing un-
mistakabie signs Of terror jim at once
surmised that the cause of the dogs
partition of some unusually large wild ami
NAL. Squirting his horse, he rode I'D to the
point where the dog was still growing and
encouraged the animal to attack the unseen
cause OF the commotlon. The dog re-
sponded by fierce rush into the brush, and
In a few minutes appeared near the road in
savage conflict with a large cougar. After
short, fierce round both went down, the
dog on top. Her master knew, however, by
bis screams and growls that the dog was not
having the fight all his own way. The
cougar had leaped onto and fastened his
cleaning fangs on the dogs head, while its
hind feet, with sharp claws, were tearing
into the dogs side and were making the
hair and blood fly. The horse, which had
now seen the wild animal, was plunging
and rearing in terror. Jumping from his
saddle. Jim drew his revolver and went to
the dogs rescue.
Cougar aud dog were rolling around and
around, now one on top and then the other,
and moving 80 swiftly it was hard to distin-
guisb them. They were all tangled up in
maze Of hair, blood and blood-curdling yelps
and screams. Jim wanted to kill the cougar,
waited for an opportunity, and then, raising
his big revolver, pulled the trigger, but the
gun missed fire. Again he aimed and pulled,
with the same result. In his excitement he
had forgotten that several OF the chambers
of the pistol were empty. Luckily for man
ED dog, the cougar released its hold on the
dog and sprang Into the brush and disap-
peared. Remounting and whipping up his
horse, Jim rode off with the dog into a safer
