Ed Eckermann had quite an excit-
Ing encounter on Thursday morning
OF last week with a large lynx at his
farm east OF town. He had just start
ed In the field In the morning to plow
and was driving along the fence when
some colts in his team took fright
and became almost unmanageable.
Ed saw an animal jump out from near
the fence but gave his attention to
the team until he got them under CON
troll. In the meantime his two dogs,
which were In the habit of accompany
ing him In the field, gave the animal
battle but soon retired to a safe dis
lance. The lynx, for such the intrud-
err proved to be, took refuge on the
fence and was kept there by the dogs
until Ed could tie his team and run
to the house for his gun, after which
an end was soon put to the story.
Ed says the big cat weighed 30 pounds
and measured rs inches In height and
3S inches in length and did not seem
the least afraid of either him or the
dogs Its death will no doubt save the
farmers of that neighborhood many
pigs and chickens.
