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
roam the ranges, writes the Denver
correspondent OF the Chicago Inter
Ocean. 1t 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 so 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 modest
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 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
creasing so fast that the stocl1men
have recently decided upon their eX-
termination. \ 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 a thing of the past.

SEA SERPENT vIED.cATED.
ofHciaI Report OF Monster One Hum
dred Feet Long Is Recorded in
the Government Archives.

After being the subject for many
years of uncertainty, doubt, and even
downright disbelief, the sea serpent
has been indicated officially and evil

government archives at Washington. In
a report to the hydrogra phic office of
the navy department Henry II. Neli-
gan, one of the regular observers of
marine events designated by the chief
photographer, officially vouches for
the existence of one of these monsters
of the deep. Mr.. Neligan's report was
mailed in Liverpool, where he arrived
November 10. on the Prada. The SER
pent was seen while the Prada was on
its last regular voyage from Calves
ton to Liverpool, and he was 100 feet
long. Mr.. NeIgan thus describes the
monster: 1.-The head Of the serpent
had blunt, square nose and was eject
ing water TO the height of two or three
feet from its .nostrils. The animalor
fish had three distinct sets of fins and
tail lying across like a porpoise. On
its back was series of humps like
samel." The latitude and longitude
mentioned by Mr.. Neligan are in the
Gulf of Mexico, about 100 miles south
west of the mouth of the Mississippi.

COULD NOT CASH CHECK.
The Combined Wealth of the Porto

AS illustrating the scarcity of money
in Porto Rico it is related that when
a government check for 5000 arrived
in Manati a few days ago in pay

for the preceding month it caused a
genuine sensation, says the Army and

their immediate army of creditors
commenced to parade in front of the
mayor, who stood up holding the check
so that all might see. Two thousand
and forty-nine dollars! The mayor
told the people that the check could
not be cashed, as there was not money
enough in the whole town, not even
if all the business houses combined for
the purpose of cashing it. He then told
them that they had to wait~for their
money until some one could go to San
Juan to cash the check.
The mayor, envied by all, became
tired from holding the check in the
air, folded it, placed it in a cigarette
box, wound it with red tape and locked
it up in the safe
