trapper, who came to this part Of the
country in '66, and informed our scribe
how he had killed the buffalo for their
tongues, which brought good prices
from the steamboats,. On board the
boats was rugged two cages containing
two mountain lions, one Of which the
trapper informed us he caught last
December, and the animal was 60 badly

playing his teeth to the gaze Of the
