Cougar Passenger on Stage Coach

SPOKANE, Wash, July 15.-Grant
Turnbull, stage driver operating be-
tween Newport and Elk, Wash, north
of Spokane, had an experience with a
full grown cougar he will not forget
for some time.
While driving along the narrow
mountain road near Rogers pass his
horses became frightened and bolted.
The driver managed by sheer fortune
to keep the wheels of the coach in the
ruts, and after the horses had expended
their energy he investigated. Perched
in the rear Of the coach was a ferocious
cougar. Before the animal could spring
upon him, Turnbull used the butt of his
heavy whip, but the big cat leaped
over his head and disappeared in the
timber before he could inf1ict the death
blow.
Settlers in the northern part of Spo-
kane county report cougar numerous.
but this is the first instance of a stage
driver having one as a passenger
Turnbull claims a new record for driv-
ing coach from the point where he
discovered the cougar to Newport.
There Is bounty on the head of
cougar in Washington.

MECHANICAL COURSlNG
STARTED IN MEXICO
OLD SPORT CHANGED, WITH
CRUELTY LEFT OUT
Greyhounds Are Real, but Rabbit
They Chase Is Toy That
Runs on Circular
Track

Requests have been made of the Mex
lean government by the state depart
ment at Washington to revoke the con-
cession recently granted a number of
Americans, among them several citi-
zens of Los Angeles, to run race
track at Tia Juana, and, according
to statements made yesterday, it is
now probable the project has fallen
through.
The managers of the Tia Juana Grey
hound Racing association, Incorporated
under the laws of California and the
laws of Mexico, and which was recently
granted a permit, running twenty
years, to conduct track of mechani-
cal nature in the Mexican city, were
asked yesterday If this would In any
way affect their concession.
1.-THE action of the state department
does not concern us or our track" said
Fred Rickert, president of the Grey
hound association. I'm fact, there has
not been a complaint registered
against our project and those who have
investigated it are all loud in their
praise of the idea, methods and rules.
"The principal objection always made
to racing was the fact that 1t was pos
sible to Jockey the horses during the
races, thereby allowing a picked one to
win. This is impossible with our grey
hounds, as they have no riders.
"Then the fact that the hare used
is really q mechanical device covered
with the skin of rabbit and running
by electricity around a quarter mile
track, does away with the charges of
cruelty so justly made against the old
coursing game.
Another thing that complaints were
made on was that the horse races
would attract the riffraff of mankind.
That Is something our track will not
do, as we expect to draw all our pa
tronage from the very best people. In
fact, we know the new game will be
highly patronized by women, speed be-
ing the principal object. There is moth
ing prettier than the fleet greyhounds
in action and l have never heard any
woman mention the game who was not
loud in her praise"
Work on the new track will start
within a few days, the managers now
being engaged in placing contracts.
Several officers of the new association,
including the president, are prominent
Los Angeles business men.

went to various sections of the noun
tains, including the Sugar Loaf coun-

{ The opening of the season has not
ATTRACTED the usual attention in the

that the hunters will not be so numer-
GUS as usual on the opening date be-
cause of the conflicts as to the date
of opening the season.
