down the Kau Size and another toward
Eilo over the old flow of 1881 which
reached Waiakea, and which the legend
states was stopped by Princess Ruth
and her Bible. This, however, is mere
conjecture, for up 20 the present writ
ing no news from the crater itself has
reached Hilo. Still from Hilo a lava
flow is plainly visible, but which direc-
ton 1t will take when it reaches the

MOUNTAIN LION KILLED.
It Had Been Committing Depreda-
lions on Carmel Ranches.

MONTERREY, July 20.-News has just
been received here from Carmel of the
killing Of one OF the largest mountain
lions ever seen in this section. The lion
had been committing depredations in the
country around the Carmel Valley for
some time past, carrying off calves and
young pigs and greatly annoying ranchers
as well as causing alarm among the wo-
men and children of the vicinity.
On Sunday night last the animal car
ried off a fine calf from the Pacific I'm
provement Company's Laurellas rancho
and the next morning John Y. Hebron,
superintendent of the ranch, organized a
hunt party and taking a number of dogs
followed the trail of the lion. The trail
led UP into rocky cave-like place from
which as soon as the dogs entered
came ugly growlings. The attack of the
dogs Infatuated the beast and he rushed
out of his den upon the hunters only to
be received with a volley of shots from
their guns. One shot struck him in a
vital spot and with leap into the air
he fell over dead.
One of the dogs was killed and several
others badly injured during the fight in
side the den. The lion was skinned and
his pelt brought to town to be cured. 1t
is a splendid specimen and Mr.. Hebron
is very proud of his exploit.
