peared in the office Of the county record
er with the pelt Of a large mountain
lion and claimed the seven dollars which
the state pays, on satisfactory proof that
the animal was killed by the party who
seeks to collect said amount. The boy
had no trouble in convincing the Off
Gals that the seven dollars he was at
ter belonged to him without shadow
of doubt.
His story is as follows: For some
time he had noticed the tracks of a
mountain lion in the woods near where
he resides. on the West Gallatin. and
determined to capture the beast. If pos

brother he set a trap and on Friday

in it, but managed to get away a short
time before the boys appeared on the
scene, vet not SOFA enough to take to

lion of it's taWny coat and then figured
on making as much of a collection as

Last year an animal OF the same kind
was killed over in Bridger canyon. but

ever, did a little shooting and cutting
he shot away from Constable Dorsey Of
Justice Olsen's court and cut through a
convenient alley. Since then he has not
been seen. His name has not been
learned, but the man with whom he
mixed was Dick Fitzpatrick, peddlar.
They met in front of Justice Olsen's
court and quarreled. Finally the
stranger drew a razor and started to-
wards Fitzpatrick, but the later did not
care for any of it and started off. Con-
stable Dorsey had been watching the
proceedings from tn court room and
when the blade of the razor swished
through the atmosphere he drew his gun
and went after the men. The one with
the razor ran, but Fitzpatrick, consid-
ering he had already had pretty close
shave, submitted to arrest. Yesterday
he was taken before the court and tax

and suffers no inconvenience from it.
