only about 2.5 acres.
Both White and Dunlap
said the cougar apparently is
a "fair sized one." Dunlap
said he found tracks near a
water hole north of the road
in the hills, and the tracks
were "good sized." He said he
also found the remains of an
other deer which apparently
had been attacked by the cat
within the past week.
Dunlap said he searched
theh area all day Friday, but
was unable to find the cougar.
He went back to the site along
the road that night, thinking
the cat would return to the
scene to find "his kill" but he
said he saw nothing.
May Go Back
Dunlap, who said he has
killed about 13 cougars since
he purchased his dogs, said he
may go back into the area
soon to see if the animal can
be tracked.
Several reports of a cougar
in the Gold Hill area have
been made in the past few
years.
Last spring, Terry Turner,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Donald Meister, Gold Hill, re
ported seeing a cougar on a
mauled by a "fair sized" cou
gar about three miles west of
Gold Hill along Old Stage rd.
north of the Rogue river Fri
day morning.
The young buck was put to
death later, according to state
police. But the cougar escaped
when tracking efforts failed
because of dry weather.
The incident occurred about
Police contacted Harry
Dunlap, 1216 Saling st., Med
ford, who tracked the cat off
and on during the day with
four dogs. Dunlap said, how
ever, that because of the re
cent dry weather the animal's
scent was not enough for good
tracking.
He said the dogs tracked
the scent about a quarter of a
mile up a hill north of the site
where the incident occurred.
The scent then became so
slight the dogs could not fol
low it.

Rooster Rules
Crow-Off Roost
Rogue River A Rogue
River rooster crowed 96
times in 30 minutes Saturday
to break a tie with a Medford
bird during a "crow-off' con
test here.
The first-place gold trophy j
was awarded to Sandy, own
ed by Paul Elbert Sanders of
Rogue River for the second
highest number of crows ever
recorded in the annual rooster
crow.
The Saturday event was
necessary to decide the win
ner of the gold trophy. A tie
occurred between Sandy and
Twinkle - Twerp, a rooster
owned by Howard and Arlen
Simon of 2105 Roberts rd.,
Medford, during the regular
June contest, Twinkle-Twerp
came in a close second Satur-1
. flair ritK nrnnrs in tVio half- '
hour period. f
A crowd of nearly 300 Der-1
sons attended the contest.
County Judge Earl Miller
counted Sandy's crows. Twinkle-Twerp
was coached by
Leo Deja, Two Rivers, Wise,
Rogue River's "tourist for the
day," who also counted the
bird's crows.
For a while Saturday it
was thought an overtime per
iod would have to be called,
as the two roosters stalled at
67 crows each. It was report
ed that not only did the roost
ers continue to crow after the
contest, but during the bar
becue which followed.
; This is the first time that
. a "crow-off has been neces
sary, it was reported. The two
birds tied with 67 cocka-doodle-doos
last June with the
owners splitting $325 prize
money.
