gin over later prices in the fall. Orders can
be left at Burke Bros.' grocery store or by
telephone No. 113.
The What-Was-It.
Accounts of depredations being committed
on stock belonging to farmers in Deer Park
and Vermillion townsliips, by some sjrt of a
wild animal, reached this city Tuesday, and
on Wednesday a large party whs organized
to go in quest of the varmint." The party,
consisting of Sheriff Milligan, Andrew
Lynch, Judge Gilbert, V. J. Cary, Dr. E. W
Weis, Jas. Milligan. George Beatty, Henry
Mayo, C. S. Cullen. Nat. Eels. Will Stead,
Wm. Splain, Charley Felte, Ed. Nattinger.of
the Tuner, Frank Kendig, of the Journal, and
a Fa ee Thadfr pencil-pusher, arrived at the
hunting grounds at S r. m. There were six
dog3 in the party, and on arriving at what
is known as Horse shoe Ben 1, on the Ver
million river, about 12 miles south of Otta
wa, the doirs were let loose, and soon their
deep baying sounded through the dense
woods that line the river at that point, me
party was hurriedly gotten together, and
not prepared for a long seige. Some of them
had noovercoats, only two had guns, and
about nine-tenths of them were more orna
mental than useful. The animal, variously
designated as a panther, bear and tiger, and
by others a catamount, hyena or lynx, wag
not run down, and no traces of him were
discovered. Thos. Johns, a farmer of that
vicinity, came into enmp at sunset and cor
roborated the story that a wild animal was
loose around there; a farmer named Ott
added his testimony also. E. H. Raymond's
colt was nttaeked by the animal not long
ago. It was also seen by other residents of
tho neighborhood. After a three hours'
further ehnse the capture of the animal was
given up aud the party returned to the city.
It may be added that though the party was
poorly supplied with arms, there was suffi
cient ammunition in the crowd to kill two
or three tigers. Frank Kendig had a field
glass, and when ho got tired sweeping the
horizon lo. king for signs of the "painter,"
ho would pull out another glass and take a
survey of tho planets. Nattingcr became
f rocious ns ho ncared the probable lair of
the beast, and soon got into a huge pair of
top-boots, overalls, hunting shirt and slouch
ed hat. Nat. Eels, Sumner Cullen and Geo.
Beatty had on their lavender-colored panta.
loons, with kid glove attachments. Judge
Gilbert, Henry Mayo and Andrew Lynch
became bow-legged from climbing the almost
perpendicular cliffs, and lost all their sus
pender buttons. The result of the hunt
was one poor little wood-pigeon. However,
two foxes were unearthed, but they, also,
were too cute, and were not captured.
To-morrow noon a large party leave again
for the scene and will camp out all night,
and next day it is thought a force of 1U0
people will be in full pursuit of the beast.
The party of Wednesday had a right royal
time, even though they failed to capture the
wbat-is-it. There is some grand and beau
tiful scenery at the Horse-Shoe Bend, and it
repaid the party fully for the trip. To-mor.
row the hounds will be in charge of Sheriff
Milligan and P. J. Cary, and a big hunt is
anticipated.
