George Steubenville, of Okeene, who
came upon the lion while exploring the
cave with a party of friends.
For several weeks farmers in that
locality had reported such an animal
proving about their places, but none
had been able to get a shot at him
Several calves were missing and il
was known that the lion had a lair
somewhere in the neighborhood. Steu.
benville was the only person armed in
the crowd when the lion made its APP
p~earance, growing and with evidences
of making a fight. 1t could be seen
dimly by means of lanterns carried by
the explorers, and when close enough
Steubenville fired. He had only a 90
revolver, but the second shot struck
the lion in the eye and caused its
death.
The animal was a fine specimen and
the first one seen in the Gyp hills for
many years.
Four mountain lions were killed in
Kic wa county, three of them by w.
d. Roberts, a trapper in the Wichita
mountains, south of Hobart. The
largest one measured 81 inches from
tip to tip and put up a game fight with
the dogs. every one of the pack being
wounded by the animal before it final
ly raet its death. Roberts reports more
of these animals in the mountains this
winter than for several years past.
Farmers have missed chickens by the
hundreds and pigs and calves in
smaller numbers during the winter
months as a result of the increase in
the lion tribe.
Another of the Wichita mountain
lions was killed by Lloyd Barker, aged
IA. and John Arnold. aged 16, near
Mountain Park. When they came upon
the lion it was gorging itself on the
carcass of a cow which it had recently
killed. 1t weighed 200 pounds.
Pawhuska hunters killed a bobcal
in the Usage Indian country which
measured 81 inches from tip to tin.
and E. NJ. Stanley, of Aline, dispatched
one that weighed is pounds, the best
specimen of the bob killed in that sec
ton since the opening of the Chero-
kee strip IN 1898.
a Mexican lynx, the first seen in
the Wichita mountains by white men,
was shot by Rev. J. R. Terry. recently,
while on a hunting trip. When he
killed the animal he believed it to he
only a big wild cat. but the Indians
pronounced it a Mexican lynx. It was
20 inches high. three feet from tip to
tip and an exceptionally fine speci-

HUNTER ATTACKED
BY FIERCE BOBCAT
MISSOURI MAN SAVES HIMSELF
BY PRESENCE OF MIND.
A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE
Falls Into River While apnling
with Animal-Holds Him I'm
der Water Until He
browns.

Kansas City, Mo.-George B. Thomp-
son, of this city, county coroner, had
an experience with a ~25-pound bob
cat in Woods county, Okla, recently
that he will remember as long as he
lives. He actually held the cat under
water until 1t drowned, but he sue
ceeded also in getting a cold which
placed him in bed for several days.
He was visiting his father in Woods
county, and eagerly accepted an invi-
tation to accompany the farmer boys
of the neighborhood on a night hunt.
They finally freed a bobcat, and the
animal perched itself on a limb over
hanging a creek.
All efforts to get in a position to
shoot the cat were unavailing, and
Thompson decided that if he could
reach the end of a log. which also pro-
the tree, he could put the animal be-
tween him and the noon and thus get
a good shot. When he had reached
the desired position and about ready
to shoot, the little animal leaped from
the tree squarely onto Thompson's
breast, ripping his hunting coat and
vest down the front.
Thompson was standing on the log
and in his efforts to grab hold of
something to balance himself, he
caught the animal with both hands.
and together they went into the water
heels over head. The water happened
to be reasonably shallow, and Thomp-
o had presence of mind enough to
hold the cat under water until it was
dead. The cat measured two feet
from most to tip of tail.
A mountain lion measuring nine
feet from tip to tip and weighing 175
pounds was killed in a ave in the
Gyp hills of Oklahoma recently by

WORK ON PANAMA CANAL
What Has Been Accomplished in the
Big Cut UP to the Present
Time,

One would think from what has
been written and said about the Pan
anna ditch" that little or nothing was
being done to make the dirt fly" that
all effort was being concentrated on
Kidding the isthmus of the yellow
fever mosquito, getting forces of men,
etc. But photographs taken in the
latter part of January show that ac-
tual excavation work is being done,
too. They indicate, says the New York
Tribune, that a beginning has been
made, that American steam shovels
have replaced the a%ntiquated and un-
economical French machines and with
relentless energy are daily chewing
their way further and further into the
sides of the Culebra cut. The groan of
the giant shovel, the sharp tap, tap,
tap, of the power drill, the rumble of
underground explosions, are not un-
familiar sounds along the canal route.
Upward of 1900 men are employed on
the excavation work.
AT the present time, between Obs
po and San Pedro Miguel, which means
the Culebra section, II steam shovels
are at work. They are taking out s.
900 cubic yards a day. Last year over
a million cubic yards were removed by
clever machines. 1t is expected that
eventually 100 of these shovels will be
tearing out the roots of the jungle
growth which has covered the work
ings OF the French company, and bur
rowing down to the level which is to
be the bottom of the canal.
Before the decision was made as to
the kind of canal to be built, the work
OF the shovels was confined to the cut
ting OF levels, so that a large number
of the great diggers could be set at
work, and for the tracks for moving
the rock and earth. This work has to
be done carefully, for carelessness in
the location of grades and tracks and
shovels would leave a gap for the
swallowing up of a few millions of
money that might be saved, and the
waste of time as well. BY arranging
the tracks SO that the cars will all run
down grade when loaded much can be
saved. In order to efficiently handle
the material, it is necessary to lay
tracks along the bottom of the cut for
its entire length, for otherwise the
time would come when it would be
necessary to elevate the earth from so
to 500 feet at the sides in order to
get it out.
Three of the II shovels are en-.
gagged in the ess entail task of making
cuts for double tracking the Panama
railroad. This work is necessary, for
the debris from the cut and the sup
plies must be moved quickly. The
double track for the rapid movement
of trains is as important 10 the life
of the work as blood vessels are to
the human body. Without a good
railroad, the work would have to
cease, as it would be squandering
money simply to deposit the earth so
near that it might have to be moved
again. The lack of a double track has
greatly hampered the work. AS soon
as the trackage facilities are stuff,
Gent to handle a larger amount OF
material than at present, many more
steam shovels will be set up and put
at work.
