Savage Lynx Killed by
Seven Mountain Trapper
Stecial to The T'clcprath

Lewistown, Pa, oct. 26.-Recently
the most dangerous beast of the Seven
Mountains, a mountain lynx, fell
victim to the trapping prowess of
w. II. Hassinger, of near Reedsville.
The beast was killed near what is
known as Cooper's Gap. While stroll
ing in that section a few days ago Mr..
Hassinger came upon the animal feed
ing on the carcass of a deer which it
had most likely killed. At the ap-
proach of the man the beast ran into
the forest. Hassinger returned home
and secured a large steel trap which
he set near where he had seen the
animal feeding on Saturday morning
when he visited the trap he found the
animal fast in the steel jaws of the
trap. y shot from a rifle put an end
to this wild animal and the carcass
will be mounted by taXidermist The
animal weighed 25 pounds and was
beauty, measuring four feet in length.
