we're also burned. The Davis family are

Three attempts, according to the story OF
the neighbors, have been made to burn
the barn. Yesterday Mr.. Witt. who is
taking care Of the property during the alb
oence Of the owner, was doing some car
pentering. He left the shavings, and later
found that they had been piled up and set
on IRE. The fire burned out after only
scorching the barn. Today man was seen
to leave the barn just after the fire had been
discovered. He went toward the arroyo,
and was not identified.
Bulldog W. Lion
Joseph Burcher, an Englishman who re-
sides Ia the arroyo near Devils Gate, lost
Z dog the other evening in rather unusual
manner. Burcher and his dog were mem
bers OF party of North Pasadenans who
have been camping at Camp Dewey" near
ewitzer's. An evening or two ago the animal
was roaming about camp, evidently seeking
prey. He had been attracted by the Ian
terms OF the campers. Burcher, accompa-
MED by his savage bull dog, went out with
Z lantern and approached within few feet
Of the animal, which proved to be noun
tain lion, some six or eight feet long. The
beast showed fight, and was attacked by the
dog. Burcher kicked the lion, and the dog
secured partial hold on its throat. The
lion shook him on, and, catching him In the
throttle, carried him on to his lair. The
dog was about the size of a coyote. and was
noted for his crossness. Nothing has been
sssn OF either the dog or the lion.
