LION HUNTER HAS
 REAL WARM FIGHT Riding Under Tree When Blue Cougar Landed
 on Top of Him

George Ainsworth of Walnut creek. Is well qualified to claim the belt as the champion lion fighter in the state. rom a conflict that occurred last week in the Juniper range of noun tains. in a hand to hand fight that was attended with danger to the man. and which resulted in the wounding of his horse and the killing of his trained dog. Accounts of this episode were obtained yesterday from arrivals from Walnut creek, together with the receipt of the hioe of the lion by Joe Drew.
 At the time Mir. Ainsworth was at tackled he was riding along in the snow about twelve inches deep, and in passing under a limb the lion jumped from a limb onto his horse, alighting just behind the saddle. In It's plunge the lion threw it's claws into the flesh of the horse. making several wounds.
 Realizing his perilous position MT Ainsworth jumped from the saddle with his Winchester in hand, and commenced firing. At this time the dog attacked the lion and it was with extreme difficulty that he continued shooting under these circumstances, fearing that a bullet would reach the dog that he valued highly. In about fifteen minutes afterward, however, a bullet found vital spot and the lion fell dead. The dog was found to be badly wounded and later died.
 Mir. Ainswortb Is an experienced lion hunter and attributes the attack made upon him to the fact that the lion was hungry and had been unable for the past few days to get anything to eat from the deep snows that had fallen. He also states that this is the first time that he has ever known lion to adopt the methods it did by attacking a horse and rider from a tree.
 The pelt received yesterday was pronounced by NIT. Drew as one Of the blue type, and that the age was over ten years. This breed of the cougar Is said to be the heaviest and most dangerous and when hungry will at tack man or beast under any condi- tions. From tip to tip the measure ment was nine and one-hak feet Journal Miner.

FAST AUTO TRIP
 GILA ID TUCSON Two Bisbee Cars Make l5O Miles Faster Than an
 ESpee Freight

TUCSON. April 22-The drivers of the cars of Capt. John c. Greenway, general manager of the Calumet and Arizona. and Dr. l.. D. Ricketts, ar rived in the city yesterday morning, having made run from Gila Bend, a distance Of l50 miles. They expected to meet Captain Greenway and pr. Ricketts here, whence the rest of the journey would be made overland to Bisbee.
 The remarkable thing of the run was not the length of it. but the fact that the start from Gila Bend was made after an east bound freight train had left Gila Bend and the automobiles got here in advance of the train.
 The road was found to be a very good one, much better than the drivers had expected to find, and they were told that it was equally as good if not better between Gila Bend and Yuma. There is an old railroad grade at that end. which with a lit. tie work could be utilized, making an ideal automobile road. A very little work on this end of the road would make q much better road han automobilists usually find.
