Show GREY LUSTY HUNTS DEER BUT FINDS MORE CUGARS Gray Lusty while hunting deer at his ranch In Indian Canyon last Sunday, had an experiance of ' a life time. He heard the brush , behind him cracking, when all of a sudden approached a Mountain Lion, the lion apparently frightened frighten-ed when he discovered It was a man face to face with him, jumped jump-ed completely over Mr. Lusty, giving him a real thrill. He did not have very much time to aim at the beast but fired, hitting the Lion the first time, and the second sec-ond shot fired went through his heart killing him instantly, making mak-ing Mr. Cugar his rug, which will make a beauty. On investigating, Lusty found the Lions den and six kittens, old enough to shift for themslves. The lion had just that morniig killed a two year old doe deer and had eaten part of It. It is said that this same lion had killed as high as 25 sheep in a single night on several occasions. It Is hoped that the sheepmen of the country will pay Mr. Lusty a generous bounty on the ravenous beast, as it was a good and brave deed on the part of Mr. Lusty v- 1 that he killed the lion, weighing 150 pounds, and measuring eight and e-ne-half feet from tip to tip. |
