BATTLES WITH A COUGAR.
Thrilling Adventure of "A Brave Idaho
Girl.

Thrilling Adventure of a Brave Idaho
Girl.
Miss Mary Il. Bowler, aged D. years,
of Cavendish Idaro, had thrilling ex-
perience with an enormous cougar.
Accompanied by several other mem
bers of her family, Miss Bowler had
been out picking fruit in a rented orch
ard several miles from any house and on
Il ranch which was not occupied. The
family lives in a newly settled country,
which is thickly wooded. About sunset
the young woman started home in light
wagon partly filed with fruit baskets.
She was to prepare supper, leaving the
rest of the family to follow with lum-
Der wagon an hour later.
About a half-mile beyond the orchard
the young woman was startled to see
an immense cougar creep out of the
brush within ten feet of her wagon. Her
horse SHE'D and began running. The
road being rough the horse could not
make very fast progress. The cougar
started to race, and within five minutes
had jumped into the wagon, leaving only
a light seat separating him from Miss
Bowler.
Realizing that her life depended upon
her presence of mind, Miss Bowler seized
her whip. which fortunately had heavy
handle With this she repeatedly struck
the cougar over the head, sometimes
with the lash and at other times with the
butt end With her left hand she guided
the frightened horse, which broke into
a gallop, drawing the wagon over stones
and stumps, which fact contributed to
Miss Bowler's success in warding off
the infatuated beast. since the latter was
in danger of being dashed ont of the
vehicle.
Miss Bowler's object was to keep the
cougar from jumping over the seat be-
side her until her home should be
reached. when she felt sure he would
jump out. Her thrilling ride lasted for
over two miles. At the edge of the
woods, where her home came into view,
the cougar leaped from the wagon.
