Ill Montana, one dny last November, Novem-ber, a girl 12 years old, named Anna .Davis, daughter of a ranchman, was liding her pony along n trail leading lead-ing up u ravine, when a mountain lion sprang upon her fiom tho limb of a tree. His spring carried her out of the saddle and over a cliff, where she lodged in a treo top. Tho lion nlo hung theio for n moment nnd then his hold gave wny and he went down for n hundred feet further nnd wns smashed to pieces on the rocks. Miss Anna managed to climb back up tho cliff and find nnd mount her pony, and an hour later sho arrived homo with only n few scratches to show for her thrilling thrill-ing adventure. The body of ' tho lion wns found nnd skinned nnd tho pelt given to her to make a rug for her bedroom. Had tho'heast lenped from somo other place he would surely have mado her his victim. |
