LIVELY CHASE AFTER A JAouAR
(From Sunday's Daily.)

Tired and footsorc, but yet showing an thc animation born of the excite. mert of the chase, Joe Hobbs and Joe Arch limbcau arrived home on Friday afternoon from hunt in the Burro creek country, bringing with them the lid, of the large jaguar, which was run to earth after one of the most exciting .ha.c. experienced by these famous tunior- during recent years.
 The hide of the ferocious animal is peculiarly striking one, showing all ,be dis,inctivcly beautifully blended color. characteristic of this branch of inc cat family. It is how in posses. sion of MT. Hobbs, whose uncrring aim brought sudden death to the destruc. tive crcature.
 Speaking of the chase yesterday. Nr. Archambeau said: "The dogs picked up cold trail on Sunday morn. inc about sun up on Boulder creek, fol. lowing it the entire day until dark, when ihe scent was lost. During the day Mir. Gcnung and Mir. Hobbs for. sock the hunt and left in another di. rcctiou in search of our horses, which had broken away from camp, leaving in the direction of Hillside.
 "with the two dogs the following morning the scent was again found at dayhrcak. From the baying of the dors knew that the trail was a warmer one than on the previous day. Over mountain and cliff, through dell and brake, the chase was continued until four o'clock in the afternoon, when dead burro was found, with a portion of the shoulder eaten by the iaguar, the animal not yet being cold. was joined about this time by Charles Crosby, and c. c. Stukcy. and after the baying hounds we continued over the rocks. MT. Crosby's shep. herd dog, in m indiscreet moment. got foo close 10 the fleeing brute. being in- s,antly killed for his indiscreet famili- anty. The jaguar refused to he treed in every case when tired seeking refuge on the top of some rocky cliff when the hounds would keep at q safe distance. At n range of about 800 yards, which was the closest could get. took one shot and missed, the bullet striking rock close to the quarry. and throwing rock splint. CTS against it, when he started across the ravinc for the next hilltop. In this way the entire afternoon was spent, travelling at as rapid rate as possible. until almost sindown, when the dogs chased the iaguar into the vicinity of the place where Hobbs and Genung were searching for the horses Attracted by the bayipg of the hounds both eagerly awaited the arrival of thc animal, when Hobbs fired the fatal shot which brought it to earth.
 "Aftcr separating the hide from the carcass team was secured, and the re turn trip to the railway station at Hill side made without incident, the cscap ing horses being found almost at tho station.
 "Thc chase lasted many miles through the most prccipitous and rough cst mountains in the Burro creek sec tion, the jaguar being finally dispatched at a point about 12 miles distant iron where the cold trail was picked up tw' days before.
 An incident of the trip which al enjoyed with relish was n feast o 'rogs' legs on tho banks of Burr creek The amphibians were take' from the stream and cooked by MT Archambeau, who is as adept with th rod as with the gun, besides being al accomplished chef.
 The legs were prepared after tn manner of the French, and were pro nourced by Hobbs to be among tn most delicious morse1s eve tasted b, him.
