was so dramatic as to be almost theat-
rical in effect. The headlight of the en-
CINE threw its rays on the crouching
animal, and when it plunged into the
flood of light it looked as if it's mission
of death would surely be successful
The force of the jump was astonishing,
and as the body of the beast crashed
into the edge of the engine front the
sound echoed through the silence again
and again. To jump then was certain
death, for we were right in the center of
the trestle, and yet, as the lion made its
leap, could almost feel its hot breath
on my throat. When the engine
crashed into the beast, or it crashed
into the engine, whichever way you
wish to put it. the lion fell back on to
the trestle writhing as if in frightful
agony, and then, for the first time, l
realized that the danger was over.
Il learned afterward that the cougar,
after we had struck it, lodged on the
cross-ties of the trestle. 1t was found
there by the train crew of Engine No.
49s, who picked it up and brought it to
Skykomish. There it was skinned.
The claws were taken by some of the
other fremen and engineers, who had
watch charms made of them, which are
very attractive. The beast was still
alive when the men of No. 49S discov-
cred it, but it's hind legs were cut off,
and when the men got down to investi-
gate, they kept at a safe distance until
it was known to be dead. In fact, Fore
man John c. Wright would not go near
it until he had cmptied couple of
chambers of his revolver into it. Then
they fastened it to the cow-catcher and
took it to SkYkomish.n

BATTLE WITH A COUGAR.
Thrilling Experience Of an Engineer
and His Fireman.
The Beast, in Leaping to the Cab
window, Fen Beneath the Wheels
and Was KiIIed-DeraiIment
Seemed Certain.

To battle with huge mountain lion,
seven feet in length and 253 pounds in
weight, ON a trestle at night, is the
thrilling experience that has just be-
fallen Edward G. Depew, an engineer
on the Great Northern railroad. The
great beast leaped at the engine, and
narrowly escaped crashing through the
window of the cab. Altogether, the
episode was one of the most exciting
that a railroad man has ever expert
enced. Mr.. Depew was prevailed upon
to write for the Cincinnati Enquirer
an account of his adventure, believing
that additional interest would be lent
by the fact of the story coming from
his own pen. Mr.. Depew's statement
is as follows:
II was the engineer in charge of En-
CINE No. PIG of the Great Northern,
which was attacked by a monster
cougar, or mountain lion. At the time
of the adventure 1 was pulling the over
land passenger train going east, and as
we were a few minutes late we were try
ing to make up little time. After We
had left Lowell, Wash, and almost two
miles east of there, about half way
across a long. trestie. my fireman,
George Lawrence, jumped down off his
box seat and came quickly to my side of
the engine. noticeda startled look in
his face, and turning quickly asked
what was the matter. All he could do
was to glare through the window of the
cab and point ahead.
"A cold perspiration broke out on my
brow. Hooked ahead and saw, through
the darkness, some black-looking OBJ
ject on the track. My first thought was
of some obstruction on the track. For
a second the thought of jumping
flashed through my mind, but banished
it. This takes quite awhile to tell, but
it could only have been a few seconds at
the most, in which it all happened.
"As soon as 1 saw the obstruction on
the track felt that a possible accident
