WILD ANIMAL TRAGEDIES.

When we laid Hands upon Huff
man prize. and examined it, a
strange and interesting story of Wild
animal life was revealed. About
three months previously. that is to
say about August LIST. that deer had
been leaped upon, from above, by a
mountain lion. Its right ear was
fearfuliy torn, and there was a big
wound on the top Of the neck where
the skin and flesh had been torn open.
The main beam of the right antler
had been broken of half way up.
while the antlers were still in the
velvet. The end of the broken antler
had healed over in a way that enabled
us TO fix the date of the encounter
with a fair degree of accuracy Both
the hind legs had been either clawed
or bitten but we could not surely de-
termine which.
II is our opinion that when the
mountain lion leaped and fastened
upon the neck of his intended prey,
the struggling buck either leaped or
fell over eut-bank and landed upon
his back, with a puma undermost
Although he broke off the executive
branch of his antler, he so seriously
injured his assailant that the noun
tain lion was glad to escape without
doing further damage. Some of the
casualties to the deer are plainly visi
bic in Mr. Huffman's photographs of
the dead game
A few days later we found about
two miles above our camp, close be-
side the dry bed of He'll Creek. the
Istory OF alotLer wild animal tragedy
On tin bit of level bottom-land
which w9s well planted with thick
clumps of tall sage.brush there lay
the well-gnawed remains of a mule
deer. Close beside the skeleton there
was round hole in the earth like a
post-hole, made by tne waters of the
creek. about two feet in diameter and
five feet deep This hole contained
about two-thirds Of the hair that once
had covered the deer AS sure as
fate. that yawning hole, which lay
like hidden trap under the long
grass and the dropping branches of
the sage brush, had been the undoing
OF the luckless deer. 1t seemed to
us that while being chased by wolves,
the deer had landed heavily on that
spot. with both its fore legs in the
hole. and before it could scramble
out, a wolf, or several wolves, lad
bounced upon 1t, cut it's throat in
quick time, and afterwad devoured
the animal as it lay across the open

THE DANGEROUS FLY.

To say of man or woman that he
or she would not hurt a fiy'' is no
longer to pay a striking and express
sive tribute to the gentleness Of the
eulogzed subject. 1t is merely to
confer a very doubtful compliment. IN
fact, in some quarters the well-meant
phrase will henceforth be resented
as libel and imputation of inexcus-
abe ignorance.
War has been declared on the
houseay, war without quarter Our
own health board has entered the
fight with a vigor which may seem
excessive to the guileless layman, but
which will be thoroughly approved
in all scientific and enlightened hui
manitarian circles. The fly has been
found out, and now that his vices,
crimes and outrages are known it
must appear strange that he should
so long have imposed upon mankind
The fly is a carrier OF typhoid,
diphtheria and other infectious dis
eases. Epidemics in this city and
elsewhere have been traced to his
pernicious habit Of bringing disease
germs into all sorts and conditions OF
homes.
The well-to-do will unquestionably
heed the advice of the health board
and keep the fly out of their houses.
The problem is how to reach those
who do not screen their doors and
windows, who seldom read the ex.
Icellent bulletins of the department
or even the newspaper extracts and
summaries In the poorer and con-
gested districts of the city the cam
paign against the fly has not made
much progress, and into those the

The Homestead Law.

The homestead law was designed to
secure the development of new coun.
try. and it met. most wisely, the early
condition that men must be induced
to brave the hardships of the frontier,
by providing for merely nominal
liked charge upon every homesteader
who would settle upon one hundred
and sixty acres OF land, cultivate 1t,
and make 1t his home for FIVE years.
This provision of a relatively small
fixed charge for the homestead, ir-
respective of differences in land
values, rewarded the hardy pioneer
of the early days for pushing out be-
yond his neighbors,, by giving him
better land at the same cost in money
as the more timid paid for their poor.
