Forest Hunter bas been a busy man the past year, and iu tba destruction ot predatory animals be stands at4be bead.- -His record is over 400 coyotes and. .cats. Last week he secured one, of tbe biggest cougars, be ever saw In all bis banting xpreleuoe. The big "cat was caught in a trap attached to a 25 pound stone aud he' bad dragged it over half a mile lu bis effort to set away. Last falll over in Drews Valley, J. S. Edlr lost 20 sheep one night in passing bis Hook through the valley and soon after a Frenob doclf-tuqster lost 17 one night in tbe same manner. Mr. Hammersley went over there and put out 21 traps with the result tbat be got 14 ooyotes and since then tbere are no coyotes. It was . a fre quent sight previously to see sevei al ooyotes in a drove. I His work up io tbe Crooked valley also cleaned out the coyotes and where pieviousley H. U. Chandler bad lost heavily, this winter he bas not lost ao animal. . Tbe Forest buntera are surely doing good service aud their killing ott of predatory beasts is a big item for tbe stock interests.
