Big Catamount.

Two negroes caught an immense
catamount last Saturday night near
Chicota, which measured nearly
six feet from the tip of its nose to
the tip of it's tail. When trailed
by the dogs it climed a tree. The
negroes thought it was a coon and
one of them climbed the tree to
scare it out. When the darkey had
gotten part of the way up the tree
the catamount started down to
meet him. When the negro got a
view of its bulk in the moonlig hit
he exclaimed GOOD Lawd, dat
amt no COON" and nearly tumbled
out Of the tree. After the cata
mount came down it was shot, but
in its wounded condition stood off
the dogs long time and cIawed
some of them nearly to pieces -
