Days ;D0 to 8:00 TELEPHONE MM A brazen mountain lion that ha. no fear oi men has been roaming through the Pisgah range for a year, leaving a trail of rumors and tail stories behind him Like the famed flying discs which had the nation buzzing re cently, the mountain lion slory has swept through this area. The elu sive animal has been reported over a 100-mile section. He has been spotted in such a location as the Biltmore Estate outside Ashcville Sighting the fast-traveling lion lias become a new sport. "I guess twenty or thirty people in the past week have told mc they've seen a lion," says Ranger W. W. Huber in Brevard. "The stories have been accumulating for about a year." Tracks of the animal and a mul titude of eye-witnesses make the possibility of the lion's existence very real. "We have every rensnn to be lieve that an entire family of pan thers roam an area between Pink Beds and Mount Pisgah," claims Huber. In a telephone conversa tion with a Mountaineer reporter. Huber said there was probably a he's about four feet long, he s a good-sized cat.'' said Huber Most of the reports are coming from around Mt. Pisgah, although the mountain lion seems to be quite a traveler E 1). Jaffee. who lives above Hosnian. told forest rangers, that he heard the lion cry out one night. The sound, accord ing to people who have heard it, is spine-tingling. A Boy Scout troop, with Prank Carr, Jr., as scoutmaster, reported seeing tracks belonging to a moth er lion and cub along Sluitin Ridge several months ago. Several lum bermen up on Pink Beds in the early spring s.id they saw the taw ny animal crossing the trail one day at dusk. Ranger Huber said that the lion has not attacked livestock or done ! tu. nlav progressed Dearborn and any damage so far, although he is i George Pillctte in the role of Jack By SANDY GRADV It is a strange leap from the drawing rooms of 19th century London to the hills of North Caro lina. Oscar Wilde's rapier wit lost none of its cutting edge, however, when his "Importance of Being; Earnest" made the transformation here Tuesday night at a Theatre in the Sky performance. Mr. Wilde's humor is like a set of Indian clubs. If you don't jug gle them fast and well, the audience is apt to be suppressing yawns. The Theatre in the Sky cast managed to twirl his clubs competently on the whole and covered up nicely when one of their members drop ped one. A small but appreciative aud ience seemed to have a good time with the spry old play. The elec tric and swiftly -moving lines kept them alert and laughing. That's about all you can ask of a per formance. Again the cast was a little off balance n the early section of the play, but lost their stiffness after a lew minutes. Elwyn Dearborn in particular had a little trouble threading his way through the labyrinth of puns and involved lines during the first act. Each tune Mr. Dearborn, who played the role of Algernon, got to the heart of one of Wilde's witticisms, the syntax threw him for a fifteen yard loss. This, of course, disappeared as certainly daring enough. Lumber foreman Lewis Orr said he counted nineteen deer which were prob ably killed by the linn, "Until they got to be a nuisance we won't lay traps for them," said Huber. Due to the fact that the lions live in the protected Pisgah area, male and female and their cub they have become a little scornful somewhere in the Pisgah section of danger from Inimnns. "Their right now. courage amazes us." said Huber. Walter Green got the closest and "They have lost all fears in corn- most recent glimpse of the phan tom lion. He was on Mt. Pisgah last Sunday, about 300 yards from the parking area, when the lion ap peared suddenly out of the brush. "It was about six or seven feet long and just stood there about 60 to 75 feet away and looked at me," mused Mr. Green. Ranger Huber feels thai most re- ports about the lion s size are :-ASH IN I AN REWARDS sllehtlv exasperated bv the excite-! BOY FISHERMEN ment of spotting the animal. "If make a good comedy team, par ticularly where pantomlne is con cerned. They need something they can get their teeth into, so to speak, l'illettc did a smooth job all evening and was terrific in the long-faced, morose scene when he announces the death of his mythi cal brother. Dearborn's antics in the second act were nothing less than first -class mugging and drew laughs. The female coniponeiil.s of the ing so close to human beings." The 'cast easily outstripped their male ranger says that lions won't attack brethren in this one. Ella Beth men unless they are frightened or Hurst sparkled in the role of injured. Gwendoline. Miss Hurst always Huber figures that a hunting , manages to seem natural and at party will pot one of the lions pret-lease, and looks like the most ric tv soon.
