Mr. was at the Agaarr camp at the time an fired four rifle shots into the ani mal. The raid was made just before daybreak. When Mr. Agaard gol up and stepped out of the camp wagon, noticed some of the sheep were milling around and thought one of the dogs was with them They were only about half a block distant, but hard to see in the dark. He looked through his binoo-cular- s at them, and was surprised to see a cougar, which he said looked as big as a mountain. No one had seen a cougar in that area before, though thev are en-countered frequently farther west, around Garrison, Gandy and Baker. Mr. Agaard's camp is about 55 miles west of Delta, through Mar-ju- Pass in Tule Valley. He has 3000 sheep there, the camp, herd-ers, horses and five dogs. It was unusual to find a cougar there, especially bold enough to come in so close. No doubt the long, hard winter had forced him from his usual hunting areas. Lon wood says he saw cougar tracks in Mar-ju- Pass this winter, although when he trapped ou there several winters ago, he never saw one there. Mr. Agaard said the cougar was not large, as cougars go. It meas-ured 7 feet ten Inches from tip to tip. It was in poor condition, thin and shaggy, and he judged weigh-ing less than 100 pounds. He skin-ned the beast, and had the hide and the 18 sheep pelts on his truck Sunday afternoon when he drove through Delta, returning to his home at Fountain Green. Delta Rabbits .

Two foul pitches were scored by Scott Sheriff and Halter--. man added two points to the Rams total. A tip in by Sheriff and a corner shot by Fullmer push-ed Delta into a 14-- 6 half-tim- e ad-vantage. Scott Sheriff opened the second ' half with a basket but Clair Rob-inson sank a basket and a r. Ted Dalton. Scott Sheriff, Hvatt Bentley and Halterman each tallied a foul pitch followed by 3 points by Robinson. Bob Hortin sent a long shot through the hoop. After a flurry of baskets Delta held a 4 point advantage at the end of the third quarter. Clair Robinson scored five quick points to tie the score with six minutes remaining Kenneth Fullmer notched four points and Bob Hortin and Clair Robinson each hit fouls.

And it is little brother you must concentrate on, for sis-ter doesn't live here any more, she is in Salt Lake City. But brother, the little pudding, does, and is very much in the public eye. Did you guess who was who last week? That was Clyde Underhill, genial butcher at the Quality mar- - ket, former North Tract farmer, and present City Council member. He never dreamed that picture, taken when he,was a boy in Nebraska,: T would turn up where it did. He was just ready to bet dollars to doughnuts he'd never be caught in Who's Who, when he picked up the paper and saw he was in. So he raked up his dollars, and some Jll) of the doughnuts, and spent the rest of the day hiding in the ice box. But back to that plump little boy, shown above. Doesn't he look pleased? And who wouldn't, all rt r dressed up like that, with a ruffled shirt, and polka dots, too. But that was not the true state of affairs. It was indignation, not blown up with pride, the reason he filled out his clothes so well. Why, it is a matter of record that one time he absolutely would not pose for his picture unless his father let him hold his watch. So there he was, dangling and bouncing the watch, with his father in nervous con-niptions. When this young man was born was quite a while ago, long enough for him to. now have some gray hairs, and acquire a family, and lots of authority. Where he was born was quite a journey distant from here, when made by horse-back, team and wagon, or buggy. It still is a long trip, for you have to travel roundabout to get there. After travellling rounabout, this per son arrived in Delta, to remain. And when this little boy was born, the Indians thereabouts were deeply interested, and creaked a bout thinking of a name for him. They thought a good Indian name would be just the ticket. Imagine if he had been called Avimpah,' meaning roiled water. He would probably have been called "Vimp" for short. Instead his father and mother chose a name for him of one syllable, so it never gets short-ened. That is too many clues for today. If you haven't guessed this person by now, the answer will be here next week. Crucial Game For Mustangs Is March 5 The Hinckley high school basket-ball squad will play their last reg-ular- y scheduled game for the north em division of Region Six on Friday March 5 in the home gymnasium.

Winners pf the North-ern Division, and the winners of the Southern Division of the region go, and the southern division play a round robin to determine the 3rd team to go to the State Meet. Delta is unconditionaly the win-ners of the northern division,, Mil-for- d now stands as second and if Hinckley wins this game with Bea-ver they wil be tied for third, and will compete for honors in the round robin tournament.
