Lynx EIectrocuted

While working on the electric
power line last week Chas Staring.
one of the linemen, discovered, al
the Norton Miller place three-quar-
ters of a mile east of town, where
gray Canadian lynx had been cleo
trocuted by coming in contact with a
live wire. Several theories are ad-
vanced as to how the animal happen
ed to be in that vicinity and as to
how it came in contact with the
wire. The most plausible, however,
is that it was passing from the wjlds
of the Clearwater river to the unin-
habited regions of Lawyers canyon,
most likely after night, and it be-
came frightened at an auto, buggy
or something passing along the road
and, as it is the nature of the animals
to "tree," it climbed an electric line
pole, became entangled in the wires
and met its fate. It was a magni6-
cent specimen, being extra large,
and the most regretable feature is
that it was not discovered sooner so
that the fur could be saved, as it had
evidently been dead several days.
The report that the boys working on
the line had a fight with ''his
nibbs" and that it chased some of
them up one pole and that they
walked across the wires and came
down another pole while the lynx
was going up, is untrue. So far as
we are able to learn no one has
ever seen one of these rare species
out on the prairie before, although |
old trappers claim that occasionally
they meet one in the remote parts of
the Bitter Roots.
