Shot Biz Mountain Lion.

One of the biggest mountain lioIs
seen in Oklahoma for years, measur-
ing yer nine feet from tip to tip and
weighing ITS pounds, was killed in a
cave In the gyp hills, near here, by
George Steubenville of Okeene.
He came upon the lion unexpected
ly, while exploring the cave with a
party of friends, and was armed only
with a twenty-five calibre revolver. 1t
had been known for some weeks that
a marauder Of some sort, presumably
a mountain lion, was playing havoc
with poultry and calves. II had heen
seen disappearing in the darkness sew
eral times, but no n had gone neal
enough to get a shot at it.
S~teubenyille was the only one Of
the party who was armed at all when
they came upon the beast, which was
evidently prepared to put up a stiff
fight. The cave was dimly lighted by
a lantern carried by the exploring
party. which made good craftsmanship
difficult, but Steubenville was fortu-
nate enough to hit the panther in the
eye, killing it instantly.

FOLLOWED PREY TOO FAR.
In Its Anxiety to Secure Dinner Lynx
Bolts Into Trapper's Hut
and Is Killed,

That the instinct of self-preserva-
ton is not confined to the human race
is evident from many instances in the
experience of hunters in the north
woods of Minnesota . George Brown,
a trapper in the Tahquamenon river
country, relates the fact that while
seated in his tent one evening at dusk
there was a sudden commotion at the
entrance and in popped a rabbit. Be-
hind the rabbit, in hot pursuit, came
another animal, which fairly shot
down the snow incline into the tent.
The animal proved to be a lynx.
For a moment it did not dawn upon
the lynx that it had been caught in a
snare, and then it jumped to the op-
posite side of the tent and began to
claw the canvas and snarl. BY this
time the trapper had grabbed a club
and was on his feet. The fight that
followed was lively, and how he mar
aged to dodge the lynx and also hit it
in the semi-darkness is, he says, a
mystery, but 1t was not long before the
lynx was stretched out lifeless. The
hunter came out of the encounter with
a few scratches, and in the meantime
the rabbit escaped.

Canine Victim of Misfortune Re-

A rev and true addition to the end
less string of dog stories is told BY a

The village innkeeper had trained

When his foe had skunk away, the vic

AT that moment a gentleman hold

STAG IN HARD c
With Ladder Impaled on Its Horns,
Deer Narrowly Escaped Cap
ture and Death.

Some huntSmen near Innsbruck
came upon a stag with a ladder on
its antlers. In spite of this handi-
cap, it made off at great speed on
seeing the men, leaping hedges and
dashing through the underground as
if quite unimpeded. Its mad career
was stopped, however, when the ends
of the ladder caught between two
trees. Its struggles were SO frantic
at the approach of the huntsmen's dog
that it broke off part of its antlers,
and, thus freed, made good its escape.
The ladder proved to belong to a
farmer, who had left it standing
against one of his haystacks. While
stealing the hay the stag had evil
IDENTIFY upset the ladder, which had
thus become fixed on its horns.
Which goes to prove that honesty Is
the best ~policy-even for stays.

WAS WELL KNOWN IN BRADFORD.
(Brattleboro Reformer, Aug. 17th.)
William H. Henley, the well known
travelling salesman, died suddenly at
Lake Sunapee, n H., Wednesday after
noon while taking part in a motor
boat race near Blodgetts Landing He
and his son, Percy, were in the boat at
the time, the former steering and the
latter watching the motor. The race
was extremely exciting and as the
boats neared the bouy which marked
the turning point Mr.. Henley's craft
was slightly in the lead. At the buoy
Percy shouted to his father to be care
full in making the turn and Mr.. Hen
ley replied th,.c he would. A moment
later he COLLAPSED and before the boat
could be brought to the shore was
dead. The body was taken at once to
the Henley cottage. Death was doubt
less caused by the excitement of the
race but the contributing cause was
chronic nephritis with which Mr.. Hen
ley had been a sufferer for several
years.
Funeral services were held at the
cottage this morning at 8 o'clock and
the body will arrive in Brattleboro on
the White Mountain train this after
noon a 1.4S. Burial will be in Morn
ingside cemetery, services being in
charge of the Knights Templar
Mr.. Henley had made his home at
the Brooks house for the past ii years
and was well known in this town. For
over % years he had been employed as
salesman for the Brown, Durrell COM
pany of Boston, and was one of the
best known travelling men in Vermont
and New Hampshire. Besides a widow
and one brother whose home is in
Brunswick, Me. He was a member
of the Windsor commandery, X. t.,
and formerly held membership in the
Vermont Wheel club of this town.
Mr.. Henley's cheerful disposition had
won him many friends in Brattleboro
and throughout the territory over
which he Travelled. He was always
good-natured and ready for fun, and
his ability as a story teller was mark
ed. Back of all this Mr.. Henley pos
sessed a strong character, and his best
friends knew him as a man of high
ideals and steadfast purpose. Mr.. Hen
ley had always been greatly interested |
in amateur theatricals, and had taken
part in the minstrel shows given by the
First Regiment band the last two |
years.
