Stoned a Lion to Death.

Near Ola, Ida, few days ago Charles
Bannister and Jake Woods were passing
along a trail leading from their work to
their camp. There was no thought of
danger in their minds until there was II

Reaching for stone, Bannister instantly
attacked the beast, breaking its shoulder
blade. The lion then sprang upon him,
when Woods came to his rescue, also armed
with a rock. The lion was attempting TO
tear Bannister's throat. Woods struck it
on the head and fractured its skull. The
men finally managed to kill it. 1t meas

way. There is not Crimson Rim Agency in the
country which cannot interest wheelman. n stock
of Crimson Rims is always beautiful to look on.
The people who sell them know their business.
They are never mportunate, for the Syracuse Cycle
Company require their representatives to be con-
siderate of the feelings of those who are not riders
of the Crimson Rim. They do not "bone' everybody
to buy. But if your errand is that of prospective

have tale to tell, if you will listen. The tale will

THE FUR SEAL.


It's Breeding Grounds, Growth, Home
Life AID Productiveness.
The male fur seal, or "beachmsster,"
reaches full maturity at the age of II
years. At that time his weight is about
400 pounds. being considerably heavier
when first in from the sea in the spring
or after feeding in the fall than in the
intervening period, when he fasts on
land. and grows gradually lean and
weak. The males vary considerably in
color, the general shade being black or
dark brown. with longer hair or
bristles of yellowish white. These are
especially long and numerous on the
thickened back Of the neck, forming the
so-called wig" The wigged males have
a rough. coarse coat, and their skins are
without market value. The animal
makes its home on the rocky shores Of
the islands in large, closely-massed
bands, forming what are called rock
cries. It is extremely gregarious; in
dividuAls seldom vent,iring far from
the main body while on land. though
wandering about singfy in the sea. The
female fur seal is much smaller than
the male, and has soft. smooth hair Of
varying shades of brown, under which
is the dense, short, brown fur. The
female bears her first offspring at the
age Of three years, but her full growth
is not attained till two or three years
later. The average weight of the
grown female is about so pounds. The
young. or fur seal, called pup, is born
soon efter the arrival of the female.
It's weight at birth is about ten pounds.
The fur seal is polygamous, each male
capable OF holding place on the breed
ing grounds having from one to one
hundred females in his charge, consti-
tuting what ia known as a "harem,"
the average number being about 80.
But the size of each family is subject 70
variation, depending not chiefly on the
strength of the male, but the prefer
ence of the female for location and
on the topography of the ground. The
young male is very similar TO the fe-
male in color and appearance. He is

States, involving the title to the Canada
De Cochiti IN Bernallilio county, New
Mexico, containing 100000 acres. The
difficulty in dealing with the case was
found in the fact that there Wac doubt
as to the location of the north and west

that the western boundary was not. II
was on this account that the case was

PUBLIC LANDS FENCED.
The court refused to reverse the de-

II appears that they had purchased ood

against the claims. Justice Brown held
them valid.
