IL. The strikers he said, were march

deputies began shooting, and IT was

them carry revolvers Nor do they
make any secret of the fact. They still
bear the fear they have had since the

FARMER KILLS A PANTHER.
August Mannheim Stays the siaughterer of
His Live stock.

Chicago. Feb. 5.-August Mannheim,
a farmer living four mics northwest OF
Waukegan, killed in his barnyard with
a pitchforll an animal which those who
have seen the carcass say was a pan
ther Although at the time of the con-
fiict Mannheim did not know the spe-
cies of the brute which was trying to
break down his guard Of fork tines and
reach his body with its claws and fangs,
he quickly understood that the strug-
gle was one TO the death. He did not
escape scathless, a sweep ms blow of the
beasts paw laying open the mans
scalp above his left ear and the sharp
teeth tearing away a strip of flesh
down his right arm from the elbow.
For two weeks Mannheim's pig pens.
sheep folds and hen houses have been
invaded almost nightly. and the farmer
was rapidly being distracted with his
losses.
Mannheim rose as usual at 4:30
O'Clock in the morning and went to the
barn TO do some chores and TO take
account of possible new losses. He fed
the horses and passed on to the cattle
barn. Half dozen calves were penned
into the barayard to let them pick out
their breakfast about the straw stacks.
lie then began to throw hay before the
COWS While thus engaged he heard a
calf bleat out in pain and terror. and
instantly all but one came galloping
into the barn. Pitchfork in hand. he
rushed into the yard. He saw dimly
before him some large animal bearing
the calf down to the ground. With a
vengeful shout Mannheim thrust the
sharp pitchfork into the neck Of the as
sailant.
| 1t is probable that the wound was OF
itself nearly fatal. else the end would
have been different. The panther left
| the calf and leaped at Mannheim. The
tines again sank deep, but Mannheim
was thrown backward and injured in
| the head before he could recover his
| balance and get the fork again into
| place. The fight lasted five minutes
| longer, but the panther was weakening
| and finally began a retreat. splitting
viciously as 1t went Mannheim fol-
lowed up his advantage and stretched "
| lifeless on the field outside the barn
yard. From nose 10 tip the animal
| measured feet and 4 inches. Its pres
| ence in the neighborhood will probably
| always be a mystery.
