KILLED A LION.
A Beautiful Specimen of the Wildcat
Family Killed by Ncumann,


Great Falls, Sept 16-Anton Neu-
mann killed large mountain lion
weighing $50 pounds near his ranch one
day last week, says the Belt Times
Mr.. Neumann heard a noise in the
field short distance from the house,
and, looking in the direction from
whence it came. saw what he supposed
was a dog, creeping toward hen and
her chickens. Suddenly the hen made
a jump and disappeared and the sup
posed dog skulked off into the brush
Mr.. Neumann walked over to where
the hen was and discovered that she
had disappeared and there were feath-
ers scattered along the trail leading TO
the brush. He went back 10 the house
and returned with his shotgun and,
taking up the trail. followed it to the
edge of the brush. The underground
was very thick and he was obliged to
crawl on all fours. He had not pro-
ceeded very far when he heard SPIT"
just ahead of him. He thought the
sound more like that of a cat than a
dog, and he began to get, a little ner-
Vous. as he did not know what kind of
an animal he had struck, never having
seen mountain lion.
The underbrush had become so thick
that he could not raise himself up to
see where the beast was, so he had to
content himself with wrigglng along on
his stomach. AS he approached nearer
the animal the latter began to snarl and
spit. Tony is not one of the cowardly
kind, and although he could not see the
beast, he continued his way, deter
mined TO do or die. In few moments
he was rewarded by a sight of the lion,
crouchins just in front of him. Tony
waited no longer, but taking quick aim,
fired. the charge entering the beasts
heart, killing him instantly.
Mr.. Neumann dragged the carcass
out into the open and home. 1t is a
beautiful specimen of the wildcat fam
lily and Tony will have the skin stuffed
and mounted.

neighbor, killed the mate of the lion

AFTERNOON OF RUM0RS
Which Evaporated Into the Thin
nest Air.
LITTLE BASIS IN FACT
How Wild Reports Grow to Goodly
Size in the Electric City
Seated by the Great
Waters.
LITTLE BASIS IN FACT

Great Falls, Sept. 16-This was an
afternoon Of wild reports. In the first
place, it was voiced abroad that the
Great Northern was about to begin con-
struction on bridge across the Mis-
souri, river at this city, and in fact was
employing men to work upon it. The
story was apparently based on the fact
that August Heman, president of the
Heman Construction company of st.
Louis was in town and experimenting
the construction of bridge across the
Marias, in Choteau county, and was
preparing to submit a bid on a bridge
in Fergus county.
The next excitement was over a re-
port that a man had killed himself at
the American brewery by the pistol
route. This resolved itself into pain
full, though not dangerous. explosion of
a bottle of ammonia at the brewery, by
which one of the wOrkmen was IN
jured.
The third story was that thousand
head of cattle, while being driven
across the First avenue north bridge,
had stampeded and had burst through
the guard rail of the structure and were
now strewed, dead and dying, all the
way between this city and Fort Ben
ton. This was another disappointment.
II. p. Brown of the Great Falls Meat
company had gang of men driving a
band of $50 cattle from the west side
to the slaughter house. When the cat
tie became ratified and actually did
burst their way through the guard rail
of the bridge, 10 of them jumped over
board into the water, three feet deep,
lighting on their sides, backs and heads.
However none of them were injured,
and they remained there unframed un-
til one of the herders rode into the
water on horseback and rounded them
out. 1t was all very exciting but Tor
tunately the news was not as sensa-
tional as it first appeared
