MONTROSE. Col. March 1O.-An inn
mense mountain lion, the largest ever
captured in this part of the country
was caught in sensational manner
by Uri Hotchkiss, famous hunter and
trapper OF Colona, six miles east Of
that place, Wednesday morning.
The animal was brought to Montrose
this afternoon, hog-tied, in an automo-
bile, and placed in cage in theater.
1t stands fully three feet high, is nine
feet from tip OF nose to end of tail, and
weighs 146 pounds.
Hotchkiss heard Of the lion, and in
company with his son George and Roy
Humphrey, they started out with a
pack Of dogs. The dogs struck the trail
and freed the lion. Hotchkiss climbed
a tree in which the lion was clinging,
unarmed except with rope. The lion
chased him down the tree several
times, but finally Hotchkiss got within
about three feet from him and threw a
rope around his neck.
The men on the other end OF the rope

| attempted to pull the lion out of the
tree, but were unable to do so. Hotch-
kiss worked around behind the lion
and twisted his tail until they Jared
him loose. After getting the lion down
they threw another rope around his
lleg. Hotchkiss then placed him on the
saddle, fastening his feet and head to
the horn, climbed on behind and
brought him into Colona. When he un-
tied the lion the beast seized chance
and bit Hotchkiss on the hand, send
ing his fangs clear through. This
morning before they left Colona with
the lion it attacked two dogs and
nearly killed them before they could
be rescued
Hotchkiss is noted as fearless
hunter, and he has had several thrill
ing adventures. Seven years ago he
trailed 6O0-pound grizzly bear to his
cave and followed him in. 1t was dark
and Hotchkiss could see the CLEAN OF
the bears eyes. With his pistol he
shot the bear between the eyes twice,
killing him.
