LION IS CApTWATED
BY WOMAN'S SINGING
New York Woman Has Marrow
Escape From Death in Re-

With Paw on Her Breast. Huge Noun
tain Beast Forces Mrs. Under
wood to Sing Throughout
the Night.

Deadwood, s. D., July l3.-kept a zap
! tive through an entire night by Il ferocious
mountain lion. and saved from a horrible
death only by her singing. was the terrible
experience OF Mrs. John Underwood. who.
with her family. was camping on the
banks OF Iron creek near Parney peak.
one of the widest regions of the Black
Hills.
Mr.. and Mrs. Underwood. with their
three children, came recently from New
York, Mr.. Underwood to look after some
mining interests and the family to enjoy
the novelty of camp life. Just before sun
down Mrs. Underwood started from camp
alone To meet her husband. who was com
ing from the mine. Not being familiar
with the country she was loon hopelessly
lost. The night falls suddenly among
these mountains. and just as the last flick
er of daylight vanished she was startled
by a ftightful scream behind her and at
the same moment was borne to the ground
10y an immonsc mountain l.on.
The fall did not hurt her. but as the wild
eyed animal stood over her and she real
tied her probable fate. shes screamed in
terror. The lion lifted his head at the
sound of the echo which her voice awak-
cncd. and as she saw that his attention
WAS attracted, 1t came to her mind that
She had read of Wild animals being sub
duod by the sound of a human voice.
She began to sing. first in a faltering
and uncertain voice. but more
steadily and clearly as she found that she
could cffectually distract the beast.
Through the chill night Of the mountains
she sang. now gayly, now desperately, all
the songs she had ever heard. while the
immense cat lay in apparent content with
one huge paw stretched over her holding
her in Il vise-like grip. She had wandered
farther from he beaten path than she
had realized and ii was not until the day
began TO break that MIR. Underwood. guild
ed by the sound of her voice. found his
imprisoned wife.
A carefully directed shot from his rifle
brought a speedy death to the lion and
Mrs. Underwood was rescued, thoroughly
unnerved from her nights experiences but
otherwise unframed. The lion measured
eight feet from tip to tip and weighed not
less than a hundred pounds. Mr.. and
Mrs. Underwood broke camp the following
day and with their family returned east.
This Is the first lion that has been seen
in the southern hills for years. and the
superstition is that it had become enraged
from hunger, as 1t Is a very unusual thing
for one of these cougars to attack a per-
Son.
