"From the description that you
have given from time to time of his
actions, I ant forced to believe that
the animal Is a large mountain lion
or bob-cat. I will say that I have
been seeing signs of these animals
In this section for several months,
and only a few weeks ago a Mr. Har
rington, living three miles from town,
killed one that weighed about twenty
pounds. Previous to the time this
one was killed two pigs were killed
in the town Jess than a half mil)
from the station and the carcass was
torn much as the pigs were that were
killed In the Pineville section. The3e
animals are great fighters and the
ordinary dog will refuse to tackle
one after cornering It. The cat killed
here recently was trailed to bay by
a larg Kentucky hound we recently i
purchased and brought here, and thisi
dog. while twice the size of the cat, I
was badly cut and bitten before the I
cat was shot. ' j
