 That's not so bad; but, great heav- ems, captain!" exclaimed one of the younger men, s'have you the least idea of what you are liable to get into?"

The captain demurred. They all would want concessions. but as Peggy insisted that she would not even con- slider the COW he finally consented to think the thing over just to please the other girls he said, for Miss Randall was one of those rare women who are popular with their own sex as well as with the other.
 The group on the veranda broke up and Peggy, together with half dozen of the young people, went outside to arrange for the theatricals, leaving to the rest the discussion of the eccentric bachelors latest.
 Capt. Nee1y, who was nearly 30 years of age, was anything but con- yentIOnal lad1es man, but no one doubted his ability to keep things alive i for a party of summer ladies and his standing offer, which he announced was good for 364 days only, created great excitement among the girls. They declared that the captain was either impossible to suit or that he must be suffering from an unrequited affection, or was absolutely heartless because he fiatly refused all offers un- til broken hearts became as common as candidates for legislative honors.

MOUNTAIN LIONS AID HERDERs
They Feed on Wild Colts and Leave Sheep and Calves of Stock
 men Alone.

Mountain lions are assisting. the stockmen of southern Utah in reduc- ing the herds of wild horses which ~oam the ranges, writes the Denver correspondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean. It is reported that the lions have considerably diminished the herds by devouring the colts.
 Young colts seem to be choice morsels for the wild beasts, and it is said that not over 50 colts es- capped the lions this season on the Boulder, Thousand Lakes and Fish Lake mountains. The lions seem to prefer the colts to lambs and calves, and since there have been a great many colts born on the ranges dur ing the last few years the beasts of prey have almost ceased to molest offspring of sheep and cattle.
 As the lions are not much hunted and have ready access to choice food they have been increasing in numbers rapidly and threaten to be- come q great menace to stockmen, especially when the wild horses be- gin to grow scarce. Down in Kane county the horses have about desert- ed the haunts of the lion and are in rreasing so fast that the stockmen have recently decided upon their ex- termination. A prominent stockman just up from the south says that with this means employed, the depre- dations of the lions and the starving to death in hard winters the wild horse bands of southern Utah will soon become thing of the past.
