people Of Howser. on Sand Mountain,

place. are very much excited by the
appearance in that neighborhood Of a
feroctous beast. said to be about the
size Of 2-year-olde calf, of a reddish
yellow color. that utters, roar similar
to lion. Two persons saw 1t yester-
day and one shot at 1t, but without
visible effect. The animal. whatever
1t is is very destructive to young
calves, sheep and pigs, evidenced by
the partly eaten carcasses found in the
woods. The report of the presence Of
such an animal has caused great ex-
citement in this locality.
Yesterday party of men with dogs
went in search OF 1t. The trail was
found. but the dogs refused to follow
it, and returning with bristled hair and
tails between their legs, could not be
induced to leave the hunters, who were
unsuccessful, =
At night large party went out with
the same result.
The people are so much worked I'D
over the matter that today they have
organized party. composed of seventy
hunters. citizens of Sand Mountain. and
thirty from this place. with large
number of dogs, and will make a de-
termined effort to capture the beast.
This party is stil1 in the woods, and
as the locality is very wild, there are
great many places for the beast to
hide.
The hunting parties are headed by
Messrs. Reyes and Howser.
