NEARLY FELL A
PREY TO A Bic
MOUNTAIN LION
Hunters Just Escape
With Life.

Two well-known hunters-Captain Phil
T. Browne and T. B. Parker-are home
from a two weeks excursion into the
San Benito Mountains. During their trip
Captain Browne nearly lost the number
of his mess during an encounter with
mountain lion, while Parker discovered
that q wildcat IS not an animal to be
despised when one is alone and unarmed.
Captain Browne is superintendent of
the State Board of Harbor Commission
ers' tugs and dredgers and Parker is
also in the same employ. For weeks they
talked about this particular hunting trip
and their friends were led to believe that
venison and quail would be plentiful in
the Mission If they went shooting. On the
first Of the month the two hunters, ac-
companied by their wives, started by rail
for Tres Pinos. There they were met by
couple OF teams and were taken half
a days journey into the mountains,
where they became the guests of F. Ra
moni. The other members of the party
were j. Perano, L. Perano, Miss G. Ra-
moni and Miss A. Barceloni All the Ia
dies are good shots with the rifle, Miss
Barceloni particularly so, as Mr.. Parker
will testify.
The entire party had been out picnick
ing and after lunch Parker went away tor
a stroll. Turning a corner he came face
to face with a wildcat. The animal was
in the shade of big rock and, arch;ng
its back, made ready to attack. Parker
had no weapon with him and he at once
turned and ran and the cat pursued him
AS he came into sight the party at lunch
did not at first know what was doing.
Miss Barceloni was the first to realize
the situation and quietly dropping her
sandwich she picked up her rifle and the
next instant the wildcat was dead with
bullet between it's eyes. Half dozen
more of the animals were killed during
the trip, but Parker could not get over
his dislike for the species and has not
done so yet.
Besides the wildcats the party got three
deer, two mountain lions and one bear.
The bear save up the ghost on the first
shot, but cne of the mountain lions came
near to being the undoing of Cap
tain Browne and Mr. Ramon. The ami
NAL was found on the side of the noun
tain and Ramoni's shot only wounded it,
The infuriated animal sprag on him and
the two relied down the hill together,
fighting as they went. Browne lost no
time in following his friend down the
hill In his hurry he lost his footing and
a few seconds after the lion and Ramon
had reached the bottom of the hill
not take him long to get his knife out
and as Ramoni was already a work with
his "sticker'' the lion was soon dis
patched. Ramoni got a number of ugly
scratches from the brute and Browne has
a long scar on his thigh that will re-
mind him or his fight with a mountain
lion as long as he lives.
The party got plenty. of quail and doves,
but in the eyes of the men they don't
count" with the big game. Captain
Browne says he never had such a delight
full outing and that he enjoyed his fight
any of the fights in the days of the re-
bellion.
