factors on the drop.

BOY KILLED HUGE
MOUNTAIN LION

Randolph Pigg. fourteen years Of
age. son Of County Commissioner w.
II. Pigg, is. probably. the only youth
OF his years in Fremont county that
can claim the distinction OF having
killed with a rife a full-grown noun
tain lion. This honor came to him
last Tuesday afternoon while hunting
with his father and David Crouch
about four miles northwest of Park
dale. The animal measured seven
feet. five inches from tip 10 tip and
was splendid specimen of It's kind.
1t weighed about one hundred and
sixty pounds and its fur was In fine
condition.
Last Tuesday morning Mr.. Pigg and
son. accompanied by Mr.. Crouch. who
olives north of Parkdale. started on a
big game hunt into the mountains
scwe twelve or fifteen miles north
west OF Canon City. where IL was be-
iieved lions were to be found. They
fook with them Mr.. Pigg's dog. a
canine OF mixed blood with the bull
dog strain predominating. and to its
oleverness and skill in tracking IL
due the fact that the big cat was Anal.
ly brought to bay. Tho dog struck
the trail OF the lion after they had
been out a few hours and was treed
by IL about noon. Young Pigg ap-
preached to within about twenty yards
lof the tree where the cat was hiding
and after locating its position among
the branches as well as he could. fred
n bullet from an automatic Winches-
ter rifle into its body. The shot
broke one OF the animals fore legs
and II Jumped from the tree and made
off as rapidly as II could under The
circumstances to find another refuge.
The dog pursued II and the lion was
brought to bay forty or fifty yards
away when young Pigg fired a second
shot; the bullet in this instance en-.
tered its left shoulder. killing It al
most instantly.
The lion was brought to town and
it's skin taken OF and sent to taxi.
dermist In Colorado Springs to be
made into rug. The skin is worth
about twenty-five dollars.

OFFICE OF FRUITA MAIL
Is DAMAGED BY FIRE

Fire practically gutted the Office of
the Mesa County Mail at Fruita. at
$3.50 O'Clock Wednesday evening. caus-
ing a loss OF 81 600 or more on the
contents and about $500 ON the build
ing. The Fruita Fire department. in
spite of the snow, did good work and
extinguished tho flames before the
plant was entirely destroyed. The
composing room equipment was ruin
ed. according to William F. Due, who
edits and manages the paper. He car.
ried no insurance on the stock and
machinery. although the building was
protected in that way.
The fire was discovered by Claude
Trickett of Fruita. Flames were com
ing out of the windows and he gave a
loud alarm that brought the people
from all directions in the binding
snowstorm.
The fire started from the stove, II
is believed, as nothing else in the
building could have started the fire.
according to Mr.. Due, unless spontan-
eous combustion was the cause. but
this is hardly likely at this time OF
the year.
