In the opinion of Luther d. Snow.
sheriff Of Nillscy county, who
probably knows as much about noun
tain lions AZ s-ny other living per-
sen. As 70 whether mountain lions
kill more deer than hunters. as has
bssn asserted, Sheriff Snow thinks
IL 10 doubtful, on account Of the
~decresting number ~ those animals.
However, Sheriff Snow Is Of the
opinion that predatory animals tax

Besides mountain lions, coyotes
and bobcats are the greatest enemies

are smaller than lions. and prey

Practically speaking. all mountain

confirmed deer killers, and depend

these animals. This clEss az lion Is
very destructive to deer. and slaugh-
terra them In great numbers. a
lion does not run down a deer and
catch him, as some people might
suppose, hut crceps upon his prey
much in the same as a house

When he gets within leGping dis

grabs him by the neck. after which
he kills and Gevours him.
Feed on Javelinas
The chief source 81 food for
mountain lions is the javelins, or
wild hog, which is a species Of
psccary. These animals used 70

creased in numbers. They are still

tain lions, kill large numbers Of
young deer.
There are at present a compare
lively small number OF mountain
lions in Texas, according 10 Sheriff
Snow and his brother, Deputy Game
Commissioner Robert Snow. A few
are still found In kennedy county
and further west in Starr and Zap
alta counties, but their numbers are
on the decline, due mainly to hunt
ers like the Snow brothers, and
r~anchmen. Sheriff Snow aions has
killed thirty-six Of these beasts, a
few OF which he has lassoed and
taken alive. He has stated that he
gets a much greater thrill out Of
capturing a mountain lion than by
shooting him.
bis pack of trained lion dogs is
probably kcenest Of any In the coun-
~. and one Of the greatest treats in
store for any person visiting the
Lower Rio Grande Valley is to &c
on a lion hunt with Sheriff Snow.
Crosses Rio Grsnde
With such hunters on their trail, il
Is not surprising hat the mountain
lion Is rapidly approaching eXtine-
ton. Still his ranks are constantly
augmented on this side OF the Rio
Grande by lion, coming over the
river from Mexico. This is espe-
eially common when the water is at
a low stage.
Bcsidts the hobcst and mountain
lion, which is the common name for
the puma. there ia another very
pretty animal OF the eat species
found in the Valley, the ~ocelot, or
leopard cat. This little animal at
tains a length OF two or three feet,
with markings like the leopard, and
does not depredste upon young deer.
A much more powerful animal
than the mountain lion Is the jsguar,
found south Of here in the jungles
Of Mexico. This animal Is a dan
serous antagonist not only for
grown stock, but also for man, IN
less he Is nm experienced hunter.
The j%aguar, however, rarely invades
any portion Of Texas, but remains
on his own side Of the Rio Bravo.

HOOVER'S EDICT
PUTS BRAKE ON
DRY FANATICS
Constitutional Rights of
All Must Be Respected,
President Rules.

BV iWcs SpCcial
WASHINGTON. April 8.-Presi-
dent Hoover does not intend to let
his administration be forced into a
position of fanatical enforcement of
prohibition or any other federal
laws, it was learned today.
Since he took office, the President
has ISIS ed instructions against VIC
lation Of citizens constitutional
rights in carrying out his demand
for enforcement of all laws. 1t also
is known that the President is con-
Cerned deeply lest oyerzealous Off
Gals presume upon his strong stand
for a vigorous offensive against law
breakers by infringing on the indi-
viduals personal and property
rights.
Every constitutional safeguard
that makes a person secure in his
person and property, the President
has warned his law enforcement Of
ficials, must be respected scrupu-
lourly.
Although many believe that
growing spirit of violence has been
manifested by federal agencies with
in recent days, as in the sinking of
the I'm Alone and the raid on
Stuyvesant Fish's yacht in New
York harbor and by state groups,
as in the attack on the Joseph De
King home at Aurora, Ill, the Pres
ident's orders did not grow out of
these incidents.
They may fall within the cate
CORY of invaSionS of constitutional
rights deprecated by the chief ex-
ecutixe, but since his order was sent
out before they we're committed,
there was no specific relation be-
tween the enforcement activities
and the insistence on a policy of
restraint.
Though the President did not dis
cusS the Aurora incident, which led
to holding the state agent on a
charge of manslaughter, other Of
ficialS have made clear they would
not tolerate the methods used in
the attack on the De King home.
Both Seymour w. LoWman, as
sistant secretary in charge of pro-
hibition, and DR.. j. M. Doran, fed
