The traffic in guns and ammunition at
this point is likely to suffer q depression
if the methods of John w. Owen in
hunting wild animals are adopted gener-
ally. The other day Mr.. Owen and
Oliver Peaker we're in the Jicarilla
mountains, having several hunting dogs
with them, but no guns. Besides cap
turing two wildcats and one fox, their
hounds got on the fresh trail Of huge
mountain lion which had just gorged
itself with the fresh veal from q calf it
had killed. The lion had taken refuge
from its pursuers in tree when Messrs.
Owen and Peaker came up and drove it
off it's perch with clubs. This was re-
peated until it reached it's third resort.
Here Mr.. Owen, being an expert COW
man, and realizing that few dogs and
two unarmed men could not hope to
capture an animal Of this character by
means of noise and only clubs and stones
for weapons, concluded to adopt the
rope which he knew so we'll how TO use.
Taking his lariat in his hand he climbed
the tree to within about six feet Of the
lion, and, making the throw with care
and precision, the animal was caught

seemed to have dropped out when the
'biq shake" as the Latives call the
earthquake of 1911, occurred. To a
novice in woodcraft or swamp navigation,
it il a most hazardous undertaking to
penetrate far beyond the borders Of this
wilderness Of cypress, elbow brush and
Other specimens Of the lowland trees and
tangled vine thickets. 1t is comparatively
easy to move about when the cypress
monopolize the swamp; and when the
season has been very dry, along in the
fall, one can travel dry.shod over parts
Of the great waste. There are numerous
lakes, large and small; some OF great
depth. Most of these areas of open
waters are dotted with islands, and in
many places fallen cypress trees and
great black stumps make rest
ing places for enormous turtles, snakes
and other reptiles in summer; while in
winter the raccoon, otter, mink and
muskrat perch upon them to sun them
selves in the day time, and at night they
use the logs when in pursuit Of prey.
Late in the season, when the foliage OF
the vines and trees have disappeared
there is no more desolate place imagin'
able than many parts Of these famous
lands and waters Of the southeastern
swamps; yet hundreds Of human beings
spend most of their days on the borders
or right in the heart of the watered
wilderness. They are hardy, reckless
class, who hunt and trap as the seasons
come and 60.

a spring at his captor. Mr.. Owen
dropped to the ground, the lion spring
ing at the same time. When only two
or three feet from the ground the animal
reached the extent of the rope which re-
NAMED over the limb, with the other
end fastened below, and was strangled to
death.
This lion was one OF the largest ever
captured in this region, measuring 8 feet
inches from tip to tip and weighing
about 300 pounds.
Mr.. Owen says that he did not realize
that he was in any danger until he had
skinned the lion and mounted his horse
to ride to camp, when his nerves relaxed
and he became frightened.

"The anvil wears the hammer out, you know"
And so, thought, the anvil Of Gods word
YetthoJlgh the noise failing blows washeard,
The anvil is unharmed--the hammers gone.
