There is one species of game, once so plentiful, that is fasH becoming extinct and If the present activ- ity is kept up will soon be in class with the mastodon and other animals that once roamed the country but are seen no more The animal referred to is a large feline of the striped variety, whose lamps are dark and dim, and whose wonted haunts are any old place with four walls and a roof He has been hunted high and low far and near, early and late, until, accord ing to the reports of the noIice depart ment, he has almost disappeared.
