BOYS FIGHT MOUNTAIN LION
Set Traps to Capture Coyotes, but
Catch Lion Which Gives Them
Thrilling Battle.

Ogden. Utah.-Chased for half
paws dragged heavy coyote trap,
Nephi Bott. n schoolboy OF 13 years,
owes his life today to the quick and
unerring aim Of his older brother,
whose rife spoke Just as the king OF
beasts was about to leap upon his vic.
tim.
The story. which comes from n farm
about three miles from Brigham City.
Illustrates the fact that the wild west
still lives. and often within easy reach
OF electric lights and street cars.
Nephi had ridden out to inspect
some traps which he and his 16.year
old brother. Lorenzo, had set alons
the foothills to catch coyotes. Nephi
was surprised to find large noun.
tain lion caught by its right fore paw
In one OF the traps. Armed with only
.s2 rifle, the boy was sufficiently dis.
Greet not TO fire at tho beast, which
alternately tugged at the fastenings
Of the trap and screamed with pain
and rage.
The lad rode back TO tho top OF the
hill and called for Lorenzo to bring
n heavier rife Returning to the en-.
trapped lion, Nephi waited until he
saw his brother near at hand and
then, while in the saddle. fired at the
lions head. The shot only further en-.
ragged the animal, which suddenly
broke the chain that fastened the trap
TO the ground
With n scream of fury. the lion
charged both boy and horse. The lat
ter Is n staid farm horse, but made
the fastest time OF his life, while the
lion. with the trap still on its paw.
bounded along In pursuit and gained
rapidly.
After n chase OF nearly half a mile.
Mt the end OF which tho lion was
within leaping distance of his human
quarry, Lorenzo's rifle cracked out
four times and the beast fell dead
Its pelt is now exhibited by Lorenzo

ALFALFA AND BROOD MARES
Hay Has Great Field Of Usefulness In
Feeding All Classes Of Live
Stock-Graln Needed.

Alfalfa hay has very great field OF
usefulness in feeding all classes Of
live stock under western conditions.
1t cannot be safely fed to brood mares.
however, In unlimited quantities.
From some sections of the irrigat-
ed belt have come reports OF large
percentage of colts born dead or weak
and deformed In some cases an over
used and defective stallion is undoubt-
edly responsible. In many cases, how
ever, when colts are lost in the man
ner before mentioned, the farmers are
feeding alfalfa hay and alfalfa alone
to their mares. 1t should not be SO
fed For best results with the brood
mare some grain should be fed in ad-
dition to the hay. In case 1t is desir-
ed to feed a large amount Of hay as
compared with the grain, the hay ra-
ton will be improved and made safer
by combining wild hay, timothy, or
even oat or wheat straw with the al
falfa. In no event should a brood
mare weighing 1900 to 1900 pounds
be fed more than Is or 16 pounds OF
al1alfa daily.
A sole ration of alfalfa hay contains
a much larger proportion Of nitrogen
than the in-foal mare needs or can
use. The surplus must be eliminated
as a waste and this condition lays an
extra burden on the digestive tract
and on the organs of elimination.
Especially heavy Is the labor placed
on the kidneys.
There are probably many cases
where large quantities Of alfalfa have
been fed to brood mares without ap-
parent injurious effects. There Is un-
questionable danger Of abortion and
weak and defective colts from such
practice. The farmer and horse
breeder will be wise to play safe and
substitute grain or other hays in place
of a portion of the alfalfa.

THE DAVIS SAW
MILL BURNED
Sparks from Engine
Set Fire to the
Building.

Arvada suffered a serious loss
this, Thursday, morning when
the A. l.. Davis saw mill burned
TO the ground. 1t was about
seven-thirty this morning when
the message was telephoned up
town that the saw mill was on
fire and the fire company and
every man and boy in town rushed
to the scene of the disaster ready
and willing to do everything in
their power to extinguish the
flames, but with a strong wind
blowing the fire had gained such
headway it was impossible to do
more than save the surrounding
piles of lumber and the other
building. The blaze was started
presumably by sparks from a
passing engine on the Motfat
road. The train passed going
west about twenty minutes be-
fore the fire was discovered.
The first sign of the fire was dis
covered by the smoke arising
from the west corner of the build
ing nearest the track, and the
blaze was beyond control in very
few minutes after it's discovery.
The saw mill was very complete
and contained much valuable
machinery, besides great guam
tity of lumber, some Of which
was made into wi&duw and door
frames. 1t is estimated that the
loss will amount to about So,
which was not covered by any
insurance. The other part of
Mr.. Davis property is heavily,
insured, but there there was
none on the saw mill.
The fire company did good
and effective work and fully dem
onstated that Arvada has a
water system that is as effective
at the end of the mains as it
would be at the tank. There
was plenty Of water and force to
spare. Another thing that will
DC remembered is the splendid
way that Mr.. Davis stood out
and fought for the water sys-
tenn when so many were oppos-
ing its installation. Even though
there was plenty of water and
everybody to lend a helping hand
had the wind been in the oppo-
site direction it would have been
3 hard fight to have saved the
rest Of the yard.

 Shelby M Harrison of New York, a writer, testified that he had made an investigation of the conditions. He told of the large number of state and county conviets in the camps of Ala bama, and of the minor offenses for which some of the men had been con- victed and put at work in the mines- Men who walked on the right of way of railroad he said, had been ar rested for misdemeanor and ordered into convict labor
 The committee inquired very min utely into the way in which the Tenn eSsee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com- pany procured convicts. Mr Harri. son said the company agreed to take the convicts. "old or young, black or" white" and work them in the camps
 Mr. Harrison said that the warden who flogs convcts in labor camps is employed by the steel company.
 He said he had seen a prisoner fog. ged with a three-ply leather strap- and had seen black and blue marks on one eonviet's back. Failure to dO the required tasks was punishable by flogging solitary eonfinment and by other methods, he said
