COLORADO SPRINGS, November IL.
Civilization, with its convenient herds
of live stock to be raided when the
mood urges, has written fms to the
marauding career of a giant mountain
lion that for years levied heavy tribute
on domestic animals of Ute Pass
ranches.
The end of the predatory beast was
not without its drama.
Successfully eluding hunters for a
decade, this one lion appeared the sole
survivor of the region. His depreda-
tons were unchecked. Yesterday the
beast took for his kill a large buck deer,
which marked the beginning of the end.
Six hunters set out on the lions trail,
located with the discovery of the deer
kill. Dogs freed the lion after 30 miles
over mountain country. Two shots at
the crouching form in tree only served
to force the beast to the ground and
straight for one of the hunters. The

out all foreign sounds. The actor out
side the scene, who happens TO fall over
a chair or meet with some similar noise

instead brings down the excavations Of

planted by thousands of lamps of the

Roadside stands for the sale OF f1re-

lun1bia line and College Park, as has

neer Of the Maryland body.
Zoning Amendments.
Mr.. Root also presented to the COM
mission last night series of proposed
amendments to the coming regulations
OF the metropolitan district of both
MONTGOMERY and Prince Georges Coun-
ties. Copies of the amendments were
given to each member Of the commits
sion, but no action was taken at that
meeting, as it was indicated that they
desired to study the list which was
drawn up by Mr.. Root and J. Bond
Smith, general counsel of the commits
sion. 1t is probable that the matter
will be taken up at the meeting next
Wednesday night.
The new regulations are designed to
tighten up the coming restrictions In the
metropolitan district, and particularly
to guard against any lengthy litigation
should some real estate owner seek to
overcome the desires of the commission.
The present regulations follow some
what those in the District Of Columbia,
but Mr.. Root has made q study not only
Of zoniAg regulations in other parts Of
the country, but also Of court decisions
on coming. Particular attention, 1t was
said, was given to the court rulings,
with a view to putting into the metro
politan district regulations those things
which the courts have generally ap-
proved. In the case Of attack, the court
rulings can be cited as authority for
the proposed new provisions in the
Maryland regulations.

the son, which Mrs. Stone had denied
existed.
Mrs. Stone had previously stated that
Georges insurance was insufficient to
cover even his funeral expenses.
A contradiction of this statement was
made by Victor Bevans, insurance col
lector, who said Mrs. Stone had taken
out 5000 policy on her sons life and
added he had been collecting premiums
ON 1t.
Notification Of the agents statement
was made by p. A. Patterson, Perry
vile agent for the Prudential Life In

entered for the policy and said he was
in no position to say whether the claim
would be contested or not.
When questioned following the state

Stone continued her denial. She said
he had only two smaller policies.
Another development in the case,
which involves strange cycle of death
which visited the Stone family during
