Stalked by Mountain Lion.

Trojan.-George Lawler, a well
known resident of this part Of the
Black Hills, had the thrilling expert
ence of being stalked by a big noun
tain lion, these animals yet being
quite numerous in some parts of the
Black Hills. He was walking to his
work when he espied the lion not far
from him near the mountain road he
was following. The animal stalked
him for some distance, keeping oppo-
site him as he walked along the road.
Lawler was not armed, but kept his
nerve and walked along IS calmly as
though the animal was not within 100
miles of him. This apparently discon-
rerted the mountain lion, for it finally
disappeared in the underbrush near
the highway. Had Lawler exhibited
signs of fear and started to run, the
fierce animal would have been upon
his back in a moment. The mountain
lion evidently had been enticed out Of
the mountains by hunger.

Auto Thief Captured.

Yankton.-Joe Clinton is in jail
waiting a hearing on a charge of store
robbery and theft of ar automobile.
An early discovery of the loss of the
car led to the catching of the thief
before he was many miles from town.
A customer of the Yankton Auto COM
pany called for his car at a late hour
to drive to his home in the country.
Finding that things about the place
looked suspicious, he phoned the own
err, who at once missed a 6-cylinder
S~tudebaker. A party IA soon made
up and was in pursuit, getting their
clew from the tracks in the snow,
About six miles east Of town they
came upon the a stuck in a snow
bank. The man soon put in an ap'
pearance with a shovel which he had
gone after to dig himself out. He was
found to have an assortment Of small
merchandise taken from the Arthur
Reetz hardware store, which also had
been entered. He made no fight
against his capture, but gave as a rea
son that he was out of money and had
no place to sleep. He is a stranger
but had been about the town for a few
days.

Catholic School Is Burned.

Pierre. Reports indicate a severe
loss at Stephen Mission in southern
Hyde county during the extreme cold
weather of last week. At this point
there has been a Catholic Mission
and school established on the Grow
Creek reservation years before rail
ways were built into this part of the
state. On account of a fire, which vas
probably caused by forcing the heat

dormitory were burned to the ground,
at a heavy loss TO the association
which maintains the mission. Twenty
years ago last month, that same mis-
lion suffered another heavy fire loss
which crippled their work for several
