A MEXICAN LION
 IS WHAT IT IS
The Varmint Which Has Caused Such Consternation Recently, Keeps On.

There Is renewed excitement here today on account of the movements of the mountain lion which has been seen at several different times during the past month. The most recent actions of the panther-Iike animal was its appearance Friday night a. mong the cattle of Loomis & Den man a few miles south of town, Which caused a stampede, and the cattle i'll their fright broke through the fences of the pas ture where they were grazing and tore them down like they were made of straw. A night or two before the same thing hap pened among the cattle of $. $. Brooks, a Farmer living near the Loomis place. IA small calf was run over in the stampede and kill ed.
 Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Luke Steele and his wife, while out driving came upon the animal, near the railroad track two miles south of town and were able to view it carefully. Mir. Steele says 1t was not a wolf and it's tail was too short for panther. From what he has heard of Mexi- can lions, he is confident that is what it is. Having no gun, Mr4 Steele was forced to see the var mint disappear iH the woods.
 MT. B. G, Murrah, father of Cir cult C.erk Murrah saw the animal Friday afternoon in his pasture south of town and describes it in a similar manner as all other parties who have seen it.
 So far, all the dogs that have been placed upon it's tracks have refused to run the animal. and without exception fhave turned back, frightened.
 EX-Senator George R. Haynie today sent word to his father and brothers at Gurdon, who own a pack of fine dogs, to come down here tomorrow, and believes that these dogs, if a fresh scent can be secured, will enable a posse that will go in pursuit, to kill the varmint
 The presence of the animal has caused consternatio among the negroes, and farmers in the section south of town are hav- ing great difficulty i'll getting them to work in the fields.
