HALTED BY A MOUNTAIN LION.
A Night Adventure of Three Girls on
 California Road.


 eve were driving from Oakland over the ridge that divides Alameda and Contra Costa county, three girls bound for a country dance at Moraga Valley, little settlement on the Contra Costa side. It was late in January, and the night was pitch dark, but as the young rancher who drove knew every inch of the way we were not afraid.
 ''We had made the ascent of the mountain and were driving down at a good pace when suddenly the horses stopped, reared and then swerved tc one side, overturning the rockaway and landing us all in the mud on the side of the road. No one was hurt, and as we picked ourselves up, wondering in a dazed way what the trouble was about, something leaped out of the bushes, over the backs of the prostrate horses, and lit in the brush on the lower side of the road. There was a fearful roar, and then we saw two great, green eyes staring out of the darkness.
 1.-The driver had succeeded in pulling the frightened horses to their feet and fighting the wagon. He ordered us to get into our seats, and, handing the lines to the girl on the front seat, he told her to hang on for dear life.
 "'1t's lion, and he'll jump in an- other minute!' said the man.
 'Then, as we sat speeches. from fright, the rancher drew his revolver. There was a scream, unlike and more dreadful than anything I had ever heard; then the great beast rolled a few feet in the brush and was still.
 After the horses were quieted and we had regained our composure sufi- ciently we jumped out of the rockaway and with the aid of matches examined our game. It was a splendid young California mountain lion, measuring about four feet in length. We three girls were all very brave when we found the beast was really dead, so we helped the driver lift the carcass into the back of the wagon and then con- tinued our trip, creating great sensa- tion among the rustics at the dance when we told of our adventure. To be sure, we gave the driver credit for the actual killing, but weren't we there when it happened, and didn't we keer quiet, instead Of screaming as lots of girls would have done?"

''Life is too short," said MT. Mullen of the Blinn Lumber company, flor one firm to try to freeze out competitors. We have never attempted to do so, and such will not be our policy 60 long as the present management is in control. "
 "It IS true that few months ago in Los Angeles when one of the members of lumber firm which has since To- Gated ill Phenix, asked MT. BIinn about the prospects of a new yard here, DO encouragement was given. The lumber business in this valley is not yet as profitable as high grade gold mine. Lumber is high on account of freights. Brick is cheap and wherever the former can be dispensed with the lat

A Wholesale Challenge Meets a Worthy Foe and He Gets

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 BERLIN, April 13.-Herr Von Kotz, court marshal, whose acqu1ttal by the court on a charge of writing anonymous and insulting letters to the highest court personages, and which has been confirmed by Emperor William, has not allowed the matter to rest there. He has determined to fercely vindicate his honor and he and his family are trying to find not only the culprit, but those who cast suspicion upon him.
 Von Kotz has already sent. three challenges and the first duel came off today with Baron Von' Relschsach, court chamberlain. Pistols were the weapons used and Von Kotz received a bullet in his hip. It is understood Baron Won Reischsach and Von Schrader, whose indiscretions are al. legged to have caused injury to Won Kotz, will be dismissed.
 Won Kotz, after settling his dueIs, will retire permanently to his estates where his wife has already preceded him. His wound is not serious one and he is expected to recover shortly. The conditions of the duel required an exchange of shots until one of the con- testants was disabled. Emperor Will liam, when informed of the acuuittal of Won kotz by the military court, sent his adjutant, Von Schotik, to congrat. ulate him,

FAMOUS CAT HANGERS,

Celebrities of All Ages and Nationalities
 Who Have Made Pets of Them.
 Looking backward we find that pussy has been the pet and favorite of some of the most famous personages in history. Mohammed rather chose to cut off the sleeves of his robe than to disturb cat lying upon them, and his followers, who have no more obligatory term for the Christian than dog, admit it into their mosques Dante and Petrarch each had fondness for them, and the g1eat Richelieu had pet cat, while Cardinal Wolsey placed his favorite tabby near him on chair whilst exercising his iu dicial functions. Sir Isaac Newton had pet cat and kitten, says Gertrude B. Rolfe in North American Review Mon taigne, too, was not too witty or too cynical but the frolics of cat would amuse him, and La Belle Stuart, famous beauty in the reign of Charles H., satirized by Pope in the line we'll known:
 Die and endow college or cat,''
 left annuities to several of her friends on condition of their caring for and maintaining her cats. Among contem- porary celebrities Ellen Terry loves to disport herself with her cats. Both Renan and Taine possessed an ex- travagant fondness for cats, and Fran cois Choppee, who, since the death of Victor Hugo, has been generally classed as the leading poet of contemporary France, also shares this hobby in marked degree. Cats surround his desk and nibble at his pen while he writes, and his friends can recite a dozen poems which he has composed in honor of these pets.
