A PROWLER OF THE FORESTS.
Hood Canal Rancher Stays Cougar in
the Nick OF Time.

Walter NJ. Bywater. rancher living at
Thorndyke bay, on Hood canal, eleven
miles south of Seabeck, killed seven-foot
cougar last Monday morning He was
going along trail near his home with his
wife and child when his little Scotch ter
rier dog, twenty inches long, who had
been exploring the brush, started a big
beast that sprang into the path only
twenty feet in front of the family. Mrs.
Bywater was ahead and the cougar in
stantly crouched to spring upon her, but
her husband pulled her aside and sent a
rife bullet to meet the varmint, which
leaped simultaneously with the shot. The
animal, its skull torn by the ball, plunged
seven feet through the air and fell stunned,
clutching the earth madly with its claws.
Two more bullets put an end to its
struggles.
Mr.. Bywater yesterday brought the car
cass, which weighed $50 pounds. to this
city. The cougar carried four young.
These animals, Mr.. Bywater says, are not
common on the canal, but are so rapacious
that they are obliged to scour large ter
ritory to obtain their food. They are swift
travellers and can easily move thirty or
forty miles in night.

MOVING TO THE METROPOLIS.
Three Big Business Houses to Mako
Sound Headquarters Here.

Three Big Business Houses to Mako
Sound Headquarters Here.
Seattle is to have three more substantial
business enterprises, two OF which are
about ready to begin business. They are
branch supply houses of the Crescent
Creamery Company, of st. Paul; the Puget
Sound Dressed Beef and Packing Company
and the Puget Sound Fishing Company.
Charles E. Marvin, of St. Paul, the presi-
dent of each of these companies, Is now IN
the city making final arrangements and
getting the houses started. Two of the
storerooms and easements in the Cyrus
Walker building on South Second street
near Yesler avenue have been leased one
for the creamery company and the other
for the beef company and it is probable
that still another will be leased for the
fish company, so that all three businesses
can be operated in connection with each
other. Mr.. Marvin yesterday gave the
following outline of his plans to Posi-
lNTELLIGENCER reporter:
During the past year the Crescent Creamery
Company did a business of about 100000 in
Seattle through its branch house in Tacoma.
Now we propose to open up a head branch mere
and ship our goods direct from our headquarters
in ST. Paul. We handle the product of 100000
cows and are the largest butter manufacturers
in the world. We established the first creamery
in the state of Minnesota. In connection with
our butter business We will handle eggs and
poultry.
The Puget Sound Dressed Beef and Packing
Company, OF which am also president, is pre-
pairing to open up next door. We will have
archways cut through so as to operate the two
together conveniently. We have slaughter
houses at Meeker, and will buy and kill our
own stock and ship in the meat
Then the Puget Sound Fishing Company, OF
which am also president, will probably open
up in the next etoreroom in the same building,
if We can get it, This company owns tho
steamer Francis Cutting, and we have been
using her to run out in the straits and all
around to pick up fish and take them to Ia
coma, and from there we shipped them East.
We now propose to open up here, as have said,
and increase our facilities so We can handle
fish on a more extensive scale.
We will build cold storage warehouse here
after awhile, in which We can freeze our fish
and keep our stocks of poultry, butter, ETC., and
operate on large scale. Our business here Will
be under the management of E. A. Mcdonald,
formerly of the firm of Mcdonald, Lewshe &
Co., of Tacoma. but viii be here good share
of the time myself. Mr. Mcdonald used to be
president of the Tacoma Board OF Trade Our
creamery branch is now open and we will have
stock in in few days. For the present we will
simply build a refrigerator in the building in
which to keep our stock The dressed meat
branch will not be ready for business for some
little time yet.
am also interested in other enterprises here,
though live in st. Paul These various enter
prises represent an aggregate business OF up
wards of 81, 100000 per year.

EADLOFF'S POLICY EXPIRES.
He Fails to Make His Second Life In
surance PAYMENT.

William Radloff's policy in the New
York Life Insurance Company has finally
expired. The policy was issued March Is
on the quarterly payment plan. and one
payment was made. The second fell due
June Is but according to the rules of the
company thirty days of grace were allowed.
They expired on Monday, without an at
tempt at renewing the policy being made.
When Radloff disappeared in April, after
putting corpse in his house and setting
fire 10 the structure, there was belief that
claim for the insurance money would be
filed. But Mrs. Radloff has made no ap-
plication for the $40, 600 which would have
been due her had RadIof really been dead.
