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

Ogden, Utah.-Chased for half a
mile by monster lion, one of whose
paws dragged heavy coyote trap,
Nephi Bott, a sehoolboy Of 10 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 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 along
the foothills to catch coyotes. Nephi
was surprised to find a large noun
tain lion caught by its right fore paw
in one of the traps. Armed with only
q 32 rifle, the boy was sufficiently dis.
Greet not to fire Mt the beast, which
alternately tugged at the fastenings
of the trap and screamed with pain
and rage.
The lad rode back to TIE top of the
hill and called for Lorenzo to bring
heavier rife. Returning to the en-
trapped lion. Nephi waited until he
saw his brother near ut 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 a scream of fury, the lion
charged both boy and horse The lat
ter is a stad 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 chase of nearly half a mile
at the end Of which the lion was
within leaping distance Of his human
quarry, Lorenzo's rife cracked out
four times and the beast fell dead
Its pelt is now exhibited by Lorenzo
