a Huntsrnan's Strange and Thrilling
Adventure With n Panther
(F'rom the Minnea polls Journal)

(From the Minnea polls Journal)
That there are pantllers in the forcsts
of north Wisconsin has now been set
tied without Il doubt. The hair-raiSiu;:
cry of this dreaded beast has been heard
by hunters and wood smen Frequently
during the past two years. according To
reports. but 1t has always been difficult
to convince people that the cries heard
were not those of some other beast ~
bird, as no one had. until yesterday.
come in contact with one of the animals.
and it was generally believed that they
were extinct.
Yesterday Il settler named John Hen
derSon, living upon IL claim out in the
woods. about seven miles from Maple
station, on the Northern Pacific road,
while hunting cartridges and other game
i'll the thickest of dense pine forest.
had an adventure which proved beyond
doubt that there is at least one panther
in this section. Henderson was walking
about 200 hundred feet In advance OF his
companion. when piercing shrek. not
unlike that of Il woman in distress. rent
the air. Henderson says the cry came
from only Il short distance ahead Of him
and so tcrroriZcd him that lie stood,
rooted to the around for several min
utcs, unable To- move a. muscle. Finally
he recovered sufficiently to realize that
the cry was that oi Il panther. ana that
il would be policy for him to rctracc his
steps rs quietly and quickly as possible.
He started tu do $50. but on turning
around cast his eyes slightly upward
and gaZcd upon Il sight that paralXed
every nerve in his body and rendered
him utterly helpless.
Pcrchcd upon the limb OF tree was
the catlikc panther, it's forepaws firmly
Grasping n smaller limb. as if prepared
for deadly spring and its eyes rluring
like balls of fire down into the orl,S of
the victim Henderson says he remained
thus Speilbound for at least five min
utcs ana every second he expected 10
see the animal spring from it's perch for
the struggle Of death. He wanted to
shoot. but could not raise the gun. and
wanted to run, hut could not raise Il
foot. Finally Il rustling was heard in
the underbrush and in an instant the
second hunter appeared on the scene.
The panther saw the new conner and
with another piercing shrek. spran..
from the limb over the head Of Hender-
son. striking only foot from the in :
tended victim. Before either could raise
II gun to fire the animal was out of
sight. and the hunters did liut feel dis
posed To follow the trail. Henderson
bears a painful scratch on the haci. OF
his left hand, which. he says was in
iiicted by one of the animals paws as
