There are
three kinds of cat* ber*. The first,
which Is not very common, la tbe Can­
ada lynx. tbe fellow with long whiskers
and tassels on bis oars; the next Is
smaller In slxe and very plentiful, be­
ing called tbe bob-cat or bay lynx; tbe
next Is a long tailed fellow, with a tall
aa long as hla body, very spotted. The
finest specimen of this animal I have
ever seen la owned by Mr Allie Bell,
formerly auditor of Mason county,
Washington, to whom I presented the
specimen several years ago. I after­
ward killed aeveral of these animale
I considered them freaks of nature as
those treed by hounds were the first

I may add In conclusion that I take
no credit for all the cate 1 killed In
(be past 10 years I bsartily glvs all

treed tbe cats and made It poaslble for
me to kill them. The»« noble dogs
