tree, but, as we approached. again jumped
down, and on this occasion, after running
couple of hundred yards. the dogs seized it.
1t was small though old female, only few
pounds heavier than either Turk or Jim,
and the dogs had the upper hand when we
arrived. They would certainly have killed
it unassisted, but as it was doing some dam
age to the pack and might at any moment
kill dog, | ended the struggle by a knife
thrust behind the shoulder.
Another Lucky Day.
The next day we were again in luck. Golf,
as usual, was leading, the dogs following and
continually skirting to one side or the other.
Suddenly they all began to show great ex-
element, and then one gave furious tongue
at the mouth of hole in some sunken and
broken ground not 80 yards to our right.
The whole pack rushed toward the chal-
lenge, the fighters leaped into the hole, and
in another moment the row inside told us
that they had found cougar at home. We
jumped off and ran down to see if we could
be of assistance. To get into the hole was
impossible, for two or three hounds had
jumped down to join the fighters, and we
could see nothing but their sterns. Then we
saw Turk backing out with dead kitten in
his mouth
had supposed that cougar would de-
fend her young to the last, but such was not
the case in this instance. For some minutes
she kept the dogs at bay, but then gradually
gave ground, leaving her three kittens. OF
course, the dogs killed them instantly, much
to our regret, as we would have given
good deal to have kept them alive. AS soon
as she had abandoned them, away she went
completely through the low cave or hole,
leaped out of the other end, which was some
80 or 40 yards off, scaled the bank, and gal
loped into the woods, the pack getting after
her at once. She did not run more than
couple of hundred yards, and as we tore up
on our horses we saw her standing in the
lower branches OF pinyon only six or eight
feet from the ground. She was not snarling
or grinning, and looked at us as quietly as if
nothing had happened. As we leaped out OF
the saddles she jumped down from the tree
and ran off through the pack. They were
after her at once, however, and few yards
farther on she started up another tree. Eth
er Tony or Badly grabbed her by the tip of
the tail, she lost her footing for moment,
and the whole pack seized her. She was a
powerful female of about the average size,
being half as heavy again as the one we first
got, and made tremendous fight; and saw
age enough she looked, her ears tight back
against her head, her yellow eyes flashing,
Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1912-12-08

This is the first of four or more notable
hunting stories by Theodore Roosevelt,
and tells Of FIVE weeks cougar hunt in
northwest Colorado. Colonel Roosevelt
and his party killed IA of these savage
panthers and much other game, the ex-
president alone shooting five bobcats.
The narrative is full of interest, each
move in the hunt being pictured with
graphic distinctness.

understand how happened to pull
off such a stunt. We needed the
game, the score was a tie, and the
eighth inning came along with the
score still even. They got a man on
first and a man on third with one out,
and the batter was fellow who
couldn't take the ball in his hands
and hit 1t toward left field, so 1t was
up to me as short stop to cover sec

base line and little over toward sec

TELLER co. DEMOCRATS
SETTLE DIFFERENCES
Sentinel speciaI Service.

oDttldl sDtlNlCt.
Denver, June 1S.-Through the
efforts of some of the leaders of
Teller county democracy, the differ
ence between them the past two years
are to be set aside and reunited
party come into existence with the
coming state campaign.
A get together" conference of
representatives of both factions has
been held at Cripple Creek and as a
result it has been agreed that the
democrats of Teller county are to
present solid front in the coming
state election.
Charles Compton of Denver, whose
home is in Teller county, returned
today from attending meeting of
democrats at Cripple Creek. He re-
ports that a tentative understanding
among the two democratic factions
has been agreed to. This agreement.
he says, is soon to be ratified by
subsequent conference of democrats
of Teller county. to be held soon.
The settlement of past differences
was effected on the basis of give and
take.
There are 1000 democrats in Tell
er county, but because of the diff
ference that rendered the party asun-
der in 1910 and resulted in democ-
racy's defeat, $500 of them went
off with what is known as the Speer
democracy. and 1890 are progress
sives. There are also some 500
republicans who may be counted on
to vote the progressive democratic
ticket.

FRUIT NEWS.
PEACHES ON THE MARKET.

New York, June 1S.-With the re-
ceipt of nearly l6, 900 crates the first
four days of last week, the peach
market was anything but active.
Florida stock of the Honey and Jew
ell varieties ranged from 81 to 81 and
dragged, few lots bringing extreme
figures. Two or three small cars of
Georgia Greensboros, Alexanders and
other early varieties moved well,
ranging from $l.50 to $2.25, with
an occasional lot commanding a pre-
MUM. The Georgia fruit is of fair
ly good size and quality; but, with
cheap berries of all kinds on the mar
ket and other fruit plentiful, con-
sumers are not clamoring for peach
es. 1t will take two or three weeks
of settled hot weather to develop any
steady demand Retailers give pref
erence to the Georgia fruit, although
the Florida varieties are much small
er and usually sweeter. The market
will not be established for another
week, as handlers are forced to make
concessions from day to day to stim-
ulate a demand.
Chicago, June 1S.-The Texas
peach season has commenced, and
fuisS "a iN" iioh CA
as and Louisiana have come in. Re-
oeipts are light, not full car arriv-
ing. The quality, on the whole, is
good, though most of the Texas stock
is rather dry. Cases of Texas whites
bring 81 to SIPS. Louisiana fruit is
of good quality, jucier than the Tex
as, and brings $1.25 to s1.50.
