LIONS
ENCOUNTERED BY MINERS IN A
SMALL TUNNEL ON SHEEP
MOUNTAIN.
One Of the Beasts Killed and Two 9th
ers Wounded-AnimaIs Took to
the Tunnel to Escape the Severi-
ty of a Mountain Storm-Details
Of the Encounter Lacking.

James Terry. who is doing some
Barney claim, on Sheep Mountain, had
an experience with mountain lions a
few days ago. and nov has the pelt
of one of the animals as a souvenir of
the occasion. Mr.. Terry, with two
other men, have beer working about
two weeks on a tunnel which
they are driving on the lead, and of
course the hole does not extend very
far into the hill, but still it affords pro-
lection from the wind, and on going to
their work one day recently they
espied five mountain lions-two old
ones and and three cubs-taking
refuge from a storm in their embryo
tunnel. The miners opened fire on the
beasts and succeeded in killing one
of them and %wounding two others. The
wounded animals made their escape.
The news of the encounter was re-
ceived in a letter to Mr.. George W.
Fox. and the details given are very
meager, the writer's only object being
to find out how much bounty he could
obtain. As the state bounty is exhaust
ed and the Laramie Plains Live Stock
Protective association has gone out Of
business. it seems that Mr.. Terry will
have to content himself with what glo-
ry he can obtain out of his experience.
