OF the ranch and | were talking Of
some OF our hunting experiences. The
conversation had turned to mountain
lions, as lately there were many in
the vicinity.
The ranchman, a few days previous,
mad lost a valuable colt, 1t being killed
by n of these proving creatures.
The colt had been drinking at a stream
not over five hundred yards from the
ranch. when a powerful lion sprang
from an ~overhanging tree upon the
little animals back. The old mare
was feeding only n short distance from
the colt at the time. and, hearing it's
cry CT distress, rushed forward and
attacked the panther with such fury
that the latter was compelled to sneak
of and leave it's prey, but not until the
poor colts neck had been broken,
causing it to die instantly.
Early in the spring of that year this
same ranchman, VIII, was a hardy from
tiersman, had been out for two days
hunting up some cattle which had
strayed off during a windstorm. The
fellow was just coming home, and saw
his wife and little six-year-old girl
down by the old cabin, then used fol-
a cow-shed. The mother was milking
a cow close to a haycock by the barn

lost: he must act at once, or 1t would
be too late. Quick as thought n win
the nerve and alertness only an old
frontiersman can show, he grabbed his

against the door, and, fearing the
larger of the two beasts. which was

The wife and child were speechless
with fright, and stood trembling with
fear. The dead panther's mate skulked
of. but not until 1t had a ball In Its
hide.
After reassuring his wife there was
no more danger the ranchman started
in pursuit of the wounded panther,
which was limping and making slow
progress toward the forest on the
mountain side. After a short chase the

her by firing two more shots from his
