Killed a Lion With e Rock.

One of the most remarkable fests that have ever come to our notice Rss that of Mexican, Apol0nio Cota, who lives on ranch about mile and half south of town. Yesterday afternoon, while Gotta was gathering uPwOod near his ranch, he came upon mountain lion. The animal was lying down. Having no weapon of any kind Cotat concluded discretion was the proper thing, and attempted to "slide out' unobserved, as he was looking for wood and not lions, but the animal saw the point, and made ready to spring upon his intended victim, when the latter in desperation fired good sized rock at the beast. The missile went wonder fully true to the mark, striking a vital spot in the head and killed him instant ly.
 Gotta skinned the lion and brought the skin to town. where it was seen at Chi otto's store by numbers of people. The animal measured about eight feet from point of his nose to the tip of his tail and weighed I50 pounds.
