MAN :SAYS SHERIFF
VANCOUVER, Wash., July 13.
(A. P.)--Experienced hunters argue
loud and long as to whether a cou
gar will deliberately attack a. human
being. The wcigln) of opinion, it Is
said, tends to tBc contention that
this animal will mm from a. mull un
less It is cornered and forced to '
fight.. , . -
Sheriff W. A. Thompson of Clarle
county, however, says he knows the
majority of hunters are wrong. The
sheriff while walking down the trail
near Lake Merrill recently met a
cougar thirty feet oway. The animal
ai once crept toward the uheritf .ami
prepared to leap upon him. An ac
tual attack' was only prevented by a
shot from the sheriff's- pistol, '-""'"
The cougar weighed SO pounds nndy
was 6 -feet 10 Inches long. He was
verjc.thln and It is believed lack of
food led him to attack the man.
