TACOMA YOUTH KILLS A COUGAR
Brings Back Skin Of Large Animal,
For Which He Sat Up Two Nights.

TACOMA, Dec. 1.-Charles Fisher,
L young man 20 years Of age, has re-
turned from the Gold Hill mining re-
gion with the skin of a cougar, which
is one of the largest ever seen in the
time killing the animal. AS he was
coming down the trail from the mining
district, a number Of miles beyond
Buckley, he came upon the carcass of
1 COW. Going short distance further
he found the house Of a rancher
named Freed. Freed told him that
the cow had belonged to him, but that
the night previous a cougar which
lad been terrorizing the ranchers of
the vicinity, had jumped on the cow
and broken the animals neck, and
then proceeded to eat its fill.
Fisher determined to make an effort
20 kill the cougar and for that pur-
pose concealed himself near the COW,
and sat up most of the following night
BUT failed to see any sign Of the an
imal. The next morning, however, it
was found that the cougar had visit
ed the spot and eaten another meal
from it's quarry Fisher and Freed
them surmsed that the cougar must
have visited the place in the after
part Of the night, probably but a
short time before daybreak. Acting
lpon this theory, Fisher spent the
first part of the night sleeping, and
several hours before daybreak the
succeeding morning stole out to the 10
cation and concealed himself
For about two hours he lay as still
as stone the cold air of the night
chilling him through. Then there was
a stir in the bushes a short distance
away. Light was just breaking. A
twig snapped in the direction of the
first sound and Fisher heard some
heavy animal padding through the
apparently coming in the
shadowy form emerged from the dark
ness Of the bushes, and stood for an
instant in the roadway about thirty
yards from Fisher. The boy saw It
once that it was the object of his
search, but retained his fire. The
cougar shifted the atmosphere as if to
uncertain Of his surroundings. Then,
regaining confidence, it ad-
vanced with crouching step toward
the dead COW. The gathering
light enabled Fisher to see the ami
NAL quite clearly when it came out
into the open where the carcass was
lying. Fisher raised his gun to fire
but in doing so made a slight noise. |
The cougar instantly stopped its
feast, but Fisher already had the an
imal covered. At the report Of the !
rifle the big mountain lion leaped into
the air and dropped back to the
ground by the side Of the COW it had !
slain, and kicked and struggled about
in the throes of death. The bullet |
had sped through its body in close |
proximity to it's heart. Afer a few !
Intellectual struggles the animal ex-
pired. Fisher skinned the cougar and
intends having it mounted as trophy
of his adventure.
