Show SHEEP HERDER KILLS COUGAR WITH STONES Claude Dalton, local man who is herding sheep for J. Bayles on Kan-arra Kan-arra mountain had the rather thrilling thrill-ing experience of killing a large cougar with clubs and rocks a few days ago. As the story comes to us, Claude was carrying some rock salt down through the pasture for the sheep j when his dogs sighted a coug-ar and ; after a brief chase ran it up a tree, j Claude dropped his salt and under-; under-; took to bring the beast out by throv?- ing rocks. A lucky shot brought it j to the groond where the dogs attack-: attack-: ed it again. ! It got rafher a firm hold on one of i them and his efforts to beat it off by clubbing it over the head were futile. Pelting it with large rocks behind the j shoulders, however, killed it, but not I before it had fatally injured one of I his dogs. It is reported to have measured mea-sured about nine feet, which is a pretty large cougar. Parowan Times. |
