ONE MONTH
Charles Ferguson, Government Hunt

Eight Feet in Length; Lions Kill
Many Deer During Past Winter

A mountain lion, eight feet in length.
was freed and shot ON the Wise river re-
Gently by Charles Ferguson, government
hunter. and Ben Osborne, free trapper.
The lion Is the sixth Of its kind that has
been killed during the past month In the
Wise river district and the deer and sheep
are beginning to breathe easier. These
Ions were not kittens, but full-grown
animals, five or six years old.
Ferguson and Osborne brought down
three, and Joseph Potts a similar number
The hunters were aided by a huge dog,
which Is half airedale and half lust dog,
according to NJ. e. Harvey Of Wise river
who reported the kills.
This dog appears to have the Indian
sign on mountain lions. Up to date no
one OF the animals has dared to offer the
dog combat. The airedale now has for ar
associate q huge German police dog fol
whom the lions have also a vast respect.
When a lion Is sighted by the dogs, OF
either OF them, the animal, as soon as the
dog attacks, sprints for the nearest large
tree and ~fattens himself along the top Of
a thick limb. He is then shot down with,
Kills Many Deer
A fnll-grown lion will kill and devoul
an average Of two deer each week. HI
will not disdain an occasional sheep or {
calf. There are two more lions known Il
be In the district. One of them, a large
animal, has killed several sheep.
This Is the first season in many years
that lions have appeared on the Wise river
The heavy SHOWS brought down the deel
and the lions followed.
The chief predatory ANIMALS of the dis
trict, 1t Is stated, are coyotes, which are
very troublesome, and an occasional vol
and bear.
The bear are Of the brown and BLACK
varieties. Joe Samal lost four head OF
sheep through bear raids during the fall
Dick Olson, a Wise river hunter, by
slaughtering three bear, one brown ani
two black, has relieved the stockmen, fol
the moment at least, of this menace.

that there will be no recession. no con-

This problem in reality is a simple

O'Higgins, who was a nephew of
Gov. Healy. was 81 years Of age. He
had a clearly defined antagonism to-

he had made enemies and for this
reason was provided with police pro-
