BOY BAGGED PANTHER.

Clark Hill, a thirteen-year-old
youngster living on South Eel river,
now claims the trophy as the greatest
Nirnrod of his age. He has his gum
stock covered with notches representing
deer and smaller game that have fallen
to his deadly aim His latest exploit is
the bagging of panther measuring
twelve feet from tip to tip.
Young Hill was out on the range and
came across the carcass of a two-year'
old steer that had been killed and part
ty devoured by some animal, and, not
knowing what it was, he returned to
the house for help. Finding everybody
gone, he called his dogs and started
out, and after several hours chase he
succeeded in freeing the animal.
AS he was walking around under a
tree trying to, get a chance for a shot
the panther sprang at him, knocking
him down, and a fland-to-hand fight
ensued. The interference of the dogs
enablsd the boy to regain his gun, an6
he. succeeded in putting a shot into q
vital spot, dispatching the panther.
AS the animal was too big for him te
handle, he cut some brush on which he
rolled the carcass, and, attaching this
