boy at once realized his position and at
tempted to draw his knife.
For twenty minutes the fight lasted, the
cat digging her claws into his neck and
face, Golf fighting as best he could with
one hand while he tried to open his knife
with the other. He finally succeeded in
doing so, and after numerous efforts
lunged the blade into the brute's neck. 1t
'loosed it's hold and fell to the ground.
Golf finished it with club. The boy was
able to get home, but was almost dead
from the terrible scratches he had re-
ceived and from the loss of blood.
The next day the body of the cata-
mount was brought into Ladoga and was
pronounced to be the largest specimen
ever killed in that neighborhood. 1t was
placed on exhibition at livery stable
and roughly lettered sign over it read:
"Killed by Goff." From that day Johnny
was known as by" Golf.
1t is now nearly twenty years since the
Goffs started for the West. All the mem
bers of the family were of that, hardy
pioneer type, trapping. hunting and trad
ing for a livelihood. His father being an
adept in this woodland art, John quickly
became familiar with outdoor life and
with the ways and means of entrapping
the wild animals of the region. With con-
tinued practice he soon became one of
the best shots of the district.
The COTS first settled In Kansas, but
after a shot stay pulled stakes for the
wilder regions of Colorado. In the White
river country they were very successful,
and in a short time Johnny Golf had won
the reputation of being one Of the best
guides and hunters in the mountains
Being great lover Of dogs, he collected
a valuable pack of hounds, which In time
became as widely known as their owner
1t is little wonder that when the presi-

dent landed in Colorado in search OF big
game Johnny Golf should be pointed out
to him as the best man in the state for
his guide
Indeed, 50 well satisfied was the then
vice-president that he engaged Golf for
second trip, which will be made this fall
Golf considers it not only distinction
but pleasure to be the hunting COM
panion of such a man as Roosevelt, and
without doubt he has right to be proud.
And it would be hard to find another duo
SO thoroughly fitted to hunt the widest
deniZens of the mountains, and withal SO
cCpgenial in their respective lines. The
president Of the United States Is perhaps
the only man In the country who is able
to hold his own with Johnny Golf as a
shot and as a sportsman In rsnerai-

rated.
1t was at the age Of fifteen that he Gre
ated sensation by killing a catamount
single handed with nothing but small
jackknife.
Golf had been sent to neighboring
farm by his father and did not get start
ed home until late in the evening. His
return had to be made through thick
woods. He had often been told to be
careful or he would meet a cat" the
woods at that time being thick with
them. Golf was walking through dark
stretch OF timber, when. without mo-
ment's warning, a huge female that had
been crouching upon a limb Of tree,
sprang down upon him and fastened it's
claws in his neck and shoulders. The

from which the blood was freely flowing.
Otherwise he seemed none the worse for
his severe fight; indeed, there was look
of pleasure upon his countenance. He
was smoking short pipe.
At his feet lay the mangled and bloody
body Of large mountain lion. The
ground for radius of fifteen or twenty
feet was torn up, showing signs Of a
desperate struggle.

exclamation from Goff.,

Communicated.

Mr.. EDITOR AS our corporation
election approaches, there is considera-
BILE talk concerning the council that IS
to be selected for the ensuing year.
This comes from an element that seems
to be displeased with the actions Of our
present council. AS taxpayer, can
not see where our council has done any
thing but served the people faithfully
and with the best interest of the town
at heart. But it is impossible to please
all. Every councilman must take the
usual amount of SANDER whether they
deserve it or not But now let us see
whether we should make change at
this time or not The people voted
upon an appropriation TO build an cleo
trio light plant. This council contract
ed and arranged for the same, which
has not been completed and turned over
TO the town authorities as yet. Now
the present council understands the
whole matter and should finish Up these
works. A new council may mean a
blunder in this direction and loss to
the town.
This is a very important matter and
should cause every taxpayer in our
town to consider we'll, take an interest
in this election and request the present
council to remain. Do not be blinded
by some little petty or personal matter
of certain clique who would lead you
TO think that our present councilmen
are not doing their duty. Who are our
councilmen The leading business
men OF our town, men who have made
their own business a success and stand
at the head of all business enterprises
Of the town. What more do you want?
There is some intimation of some Of
these gentlemen refusing to serve an
other term. Gentlemen, you owe it not
only to your own interest, but TO the in
terest OF the whole community-it is
your duty to serve US another term. Do
not shirk it at this time. Shut your
ears to these SANDERS, and if the tan
payers want you to serve them it is
your duty to do so. | would like TO
mention some of the objections made
against this council, but they are too
ridiculous to mention in print

Entertainment at the Junction.

The pupils of the public school at Shenan-
doah Junction gave most enjoy able enter
tainment in the Odd Fellows hall at that
place last Friday night. 1t was gotten up by
the teachers and pupils for the benefit Of a IL
brary for the school, and was attended by a
large and appeciative audience. The pro-
gramme consisted of declarations, dialogues
and fancy drills. The first number on the
programme was concert recitation by
Ethel McGarry, Sara Eliot and Ruth Furt-
ney which was excellent. The "Snow Bril-
gade," by a company OF little boys, received
a storm ofapplause. when true to boys ma
ture, they laid down their sh ovels and be-
gan 10 pelt each other with snow. "Patri-
otic Drill" was beautifully executed by q
number OF girls, with Miss Virginia Flood
draped with the national colors, as Goddess
OF Liberty. Miss Flood acted her part To per-
fiction. A monologue, "A Simple Case of
Grippe" by Mr.. II. A. Osbourn, made one
think he was actually in the throes Of that
terrible disease, so perfectly was 1t acted. A
M Military company OF boys in uniforms had
been trained by Mrs. Frank 0sbouIn. A
company OF real soldiers could not have
obeyed the mmands more readily or better
than they did.
This was on. OF the incest entertainments
ever held at the Junction, and reflects much
credit upon all who took part, especially the
teachers, Mr.. Osbourn and Miss Greenwood.

The United States Senate has been
the scene of some lively episodes the
past week. On Saturday Senator Till
man of South Carolina, prodded by
Senator Spooner, charged that Senator
McLaurin, also of South Carolina, had
been bribed by the promise of federal
patronage to vote with the Republicans.
Senator McLaurin promptly called
Senator Tillman liar, whereupon the
fiery Tillman jumped at McLaurin
and struck him hard blow in the
face. For moment or two the bel
ligerent Senator'S had hand hand
fight, in which they passed several
blows before they were separated.
The Senate, of course, was Mortified,
and both Senators were adjudged to
be in contempt and prevented from
participating In the proceedings until
they have been properly disciplined.
On Monday the two Maryland SEN
ators had round. Senator McComas
intimated that Senator Wellington had
not stated facts as they really were,
whereupon Senator Wellington called
him a liar in these polite words: "If
my colleague at any time will reiter-
ate outside of this chamber what he
said in it then l will tell him what l
can not say here, that he utters cow
ardly and malicious falsehood. Sem
ator McComas simply glared at his ene-
my, and the matter rested.
The Senate will have to provide
regulation prize ring if these little ep-
isodes are to continue.
