She hurried ahead to her destination. and a hunting party composed of J. y Cook and A. Fenton. with several dogs, started in pursuit.
 The dogs found the trail of the cou- gar, and after following q short dis tance treed 1t. Cook shot and wound ed the animal, which dropped to the ground and was bounced upon by the dogs. It instantly killed one of the dogs with its terrible claws and teeth, though Cook and Fenton were both trying to shoot 1t. but in the scutf1e between it and the dogs found but li.- tie opportunity to do so without shoot ing the dogs. Before finally mortally wounded the animal had nearly killed another of the dogs.
