TO WAGE WAR ON
PREDATORY ANIMALS
California Selects Hunter to
Kill Mountain Lion.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. May 17.-Pred-
atory animals such as the mountain
lion, bobcat and coyote, take a large
toll OF game animals each year. As q
means of reducing the numbers Of the
most important deer slayer. the noun
tain lion. the California Fish and Game
Commission has for some years been
paying q substantial bounty on the
scalps of this animal.
In addition to this bounty another
step has now been taken to elimisate
predatory animals and thereby protect
game animals and birds. The commits
sion has obtained the services OF Jay q
Bruce OF Wawona, who has for many
years successfully hunted wild animals
with his pack of trained varmint dogs.
and who will now devote all his time
to this purpose.
Mr.. Bruce has a record OF three wild
cats and q mountain lion taken In one
day. He will go from place to place
where most needed and clean up Sec
tons infested with predatory animals.
No doubt many enthusiastic eportsmen
envy Mr.. Bruce his chance for good
sport.
1t win be Interesting to learn Just
how many animals he is able to bag
within given period. The moro he
kills the better will It please hunter
and conservationist, for they know that
this added protection will still further
increase the population of stately game
animals in the California forests.

Mr.. kearney was fishing with former
Senator ]. p. Aide of Norwich, n. Y.

when the handle or drag fell OF the
reel Mr.. Kearney had 125 feet of line
out at the time. Hastily he cut tho line
and attached It to another rod and reel
and had the luck to have the fish remain
quiet while he did so.
Ill luck followed. however, for It was
seen that the reel was so small II could
not take up all the line, 100 feet being
out that could not be reeled in. For
two hours both anglers sought by vari-
Gus means to bring the fish into the
shallow water and beach II. Finally
this was done at Upcohall. The tarpou
