DEATH OF THE BAJOUREH LEOPARD. This animal, whose misdeeds have so freely been commented on by the Indian Press, has at last succumbed. He was killed on the 7th ult., after a good scuffle, in which three people were mauled. A Kuhl correspondent sends the following account of the affair to the Civil and Military Ga.-etl, "He had been hovering all round a Camp of Busahiri sheep, which were carrying grain, during the night of the sth, but was kept oil by five large sheep-dogs. In the morning of the 7th, a Muhammadan woman saw him in some long grass near the diik bungalow, and taking him for a large jungle cat after the fowls ran after him. He charged her, striking her on the chest, and seised her by the arm ; she struck him over the head with a heavy stick, add, other people coming up, the leopard let go, and ran into a garlen near the dab bungalow. The woman was found to have two claw wounds on her chest and sit deep bites in her left arm. By this time some 20 persons had assembled, and went into the garden in search of the beast. A syce in the service of the Assistant-Commissioner declared he believed it was only a jackal, but the words wren hardly out of his mouth when the leopard, which had been hiding under a stone, charged straight out at the syce with a roar, id:Ricking him down and mauling him badly ; he is badly clawed on both urns,. behind the right oar, and bitten on the scalp, and would certainly have been killed had cot a man named Basins run in and driven a hopper clean though the leopard's body; the brute left the ~yee, and tried to work itself up the shaft of the spear to get at his new assailant, but it only succeeded in tearing his clothes, Nasina escaping unhurt. A mistri ran in to club it, but got clawed on the chin for his pains, Nasina holding on to his spear all the time. By this time the others, who had belted when the leopard charged, had returned, and the leopard was clubbed to death. It was a full-grown young male, probably about tour years old."
