WILD CAT WAS LYNX
MARCUs BURR,s REPUTATION AS MARKSMAN IS NOW INDUBITA-
 BLY ESTABLISHED.
(speciaa to The Far1ner)


 Redding June 17-With his .22 cali
 bre rifle which looks to be hardly more than a toy weapon Marcus Burr is building up record, his latest achievements being the killing, on Fri day last, of a lynx. It was a. pretty piece of craftsmanship but considered as a fact not so remarkable as the presence of a. lynx, one of the shyest of wild animals in a well populated locality. Mrs. Charles Nordrnan was
 walking down the hill near the Sulh- van Bros. store when she saw a good size1 cat-Iikei animal coming towards her from the adjacent bank. It ap- pa rentIy had no hostile intent and at the barking of the dog that was with her ran up tree by the roadside and perched in a. fork about 25 feet from the ground. There it remained
 who soon gathered. It did not growl or move about, but continued to stare down blandly as if it had struck a pose in order to be photographed and was. patiently awaiting the opera ton. A boy was dispatched to summon his tr11sty wea pon. Previously some guessing had been done as to what sort of an animal it was. the genera opinion inc1ining towards a wildcat. As MT. Burr appeared some one Ven- tured the suggestion that it might be a, Da DY l1On. NO 1nO6GQs Sd4Q WIT Burr after nasty glance, Its 8, lynx. And before fire,'' he continued, 'you children and all the rest of the folks here had better scamper. If I only touch him up a little he'll finish the I dog in about two seconds after he
 comes down and then jump for some of the folks.''
 In response to this warning Edward l Bradley said that to run away would 1 indicate a lack of confidence in the
 ma rksmanship about to ensue and he
 could not think of doing anything SC | i1npo1fte. Nobody moved and MT.
 Burr sighted and fired. Still the lynx
 sat nnotionless on his perch and blink
 ed blandly Its all right shouted l Mr. Burr as the suspense was becom- | ing painful ''I got him in the eye . | Quickly slipping another cartridge in- l to the rife he fired a second time an6 down came the lynx in heap. A few
 convulsive kicks and it was dead. One | bullet had hit an eye and the other 1 struck between the eyes, penetrating 1 the forehead The animal weighed just
 short of 28 pounds. It's pelt was re-
 moved and will be made into a rug
 In the winter when the fur is in it's 1 best condition, Jthe skin would readily
 have sold for $15 or $20.
 1 Earlier in the day MT. Burr did some
 other high class shooting with the same
 rife, his spoil being a pair of crows
 that came within range in the woods
 of Miss J. H. Sanford near her house | One crow he picked off from a tree l and the other he got on the wing. | l will be recalled that in the local hun | last winter of two young cattle which | had gone wild MT. Burr brought the l chase to a finish by killing both ami
 Inals with three shots, one fatal wound 1 being through the eye and another | through the heart. This shooting waG | also done with the little rifle which Inc | used on Friday.

Consideration is being given to
the matter of a legislative reap
