He brought it In and noticed there was a letter from the Washington. D. C., Land Office, marked “ Rush." Kay was in charge o f George’s place untill his folks got back so he opened the letter and informed them that George had died of a lingering Liver trouble. The rest of us cant get out of It like that so we better watch our prove-up date. A few days ago Letha and Jack Bordmess (an elderly couple of old timers that roam the hills of M al heur County and catch furs in the winter months and wild horses In the summer time) came through Cow Hollow with a live Linx cat. Letha had been In Ontario a few months before and while talking to an old friend who runs a restaurant there he told her that when she caught a Linx cat to bring him the hide he wanted to mount it for dis play in the restaurant. They made a joke of it. She told him she would "drive In a live one.” So the first one she caught In her traps she remembered him and her and Jack wraped it up in a “T arp” and finaly got It out of the trap and Into a box with out hurting it or geting themselves hurt. The box had to be made secure also for it was a very nice sized kitty. About two and one half feet from tip to tip and weighing twenty five or thirty pounds. When they put him In the box he grabbed the edge of it and drove a tooth clear through a three quar ter inch pine board. Letha said she was going to take it into the kitchen of his restraurant and open the lid and say “Here you are now lets see you mount him." The hunters are beginning to in vade our "Hunting Area" out here some now. It is surprising how many hunters cant read “ No Hunt ing” signs. Some of them can’t even see cattle when a bird flys up. The other day Elza Niccum went out to chase o ff a hunter (Elza is chairman and sort o f runs the Hunting Area) and the hunter flashed a permit on him. O f course they got friendly right away then.
