On Tuesday morning last l'arloy Hill btarted from Spanish Fork on horseback horse-back up Diamond Fork in search of a mare and colt. The aniumls were found and Mr. Hill was on his way home driving the poulcs. when, to his surprise sur-prise and horror, a large mountain lion sprang from tho bushes upon the back of tho colt. Parley, seeing tho animal's fate, spurred up a little in hopes that lion would tamoose, but instead of do-his do-his so it t.miod the tables and started after him. Now terribly frightened. Hill spurred hi." horse on through brush and bramble, riding like a wild man, caring not where hi: went so long; as it wis out of tho way of tho monster. After riding at this rato for some time, tearing tho cloihes nearly oil his back, and scratching himself badly, he. stopped TOrt found himself safe from pursuit. During this thrilling experience be-tweeu be-tweeu Mr. Hill ami the lion, the mare and colt ho had been driving had been foing down the road and luckily Mr. Hill ran across them and arrived home in safety. He says a number of dead colts are lying in iho "left hand fork" of the canon, and thinks that mountain ,Uons are not scarce iu lhat region, and 'their ravages are the cause of the death of tho colts.
