people had assembled to witness the
close of the ceremonies. 1t was ten min

were watched by the President with
streaming eyes and his sturdy frame was
convulsed with the poignancy of his
grief. The services were exceedingly
brief.

An important protest against the immu-

with Mercury reporter Mr.. Ripley gave
rather interesting account of an encounter

long since with a California lion. Mr..
Ripley's nearest neighbor, S. A. Samuels,
had lost several fine sheep from his little
band and up TO last Thursday night was
unable 10 determine what kind of an
animal it was that was committing the
depredstions. The night in question, how
ever, Mr.. Samuels heard a commo-
ton among his flock and Immediately
grabbing up shotgun hurried TO
the corral. lie could just distinguish
through the gloom some strange creature
standing over sheep which it has just
killed. Mr.. SamueIs leveled his gun at the
nocturnal marauder and fired. The animal
gave a terrific howl and instead of running
away bounded in the direction Of Mr.. Sam
uels. This unexpected attack rather dis
concerted the gentleman. and he made no
effort to get out OF the animals way. In O
moment the creature was upon him, and the
force of the contact caused Mr.. SamueIs to
lose his grasp on his gun. He had begun to
think his last moment had arrived, but be-
yond the injuries received in the way Of
badly lacerated arm, where the animal in
his dying fury had struck him, he was un-
hurt.
Mr.. Samuels laid where he had been
thrown for some minutes. not daring TO
move for fear he would again be attacked.
Finally. however, he summoned up courage
TO raise himself ON his elbow, and, elancIng
cautiously around. saw the form of the
shcep-kilie outlined upon the ground. Max
ing up his mind that the animal had been
killed by the shot Mr.. Samuels cautiously
approached and discovered such to be- the
case. Mr.. Samuels' surprise was great when
ne discovered the blo0dthirsty prowler to
be nothing less than very large California
lion.
1t is generally claimed that these animals
are afraid OF man, but Mr. SamneIs says
he considers them sociabio enough TO satisfy
