Sheep-Eating Panthers.

Lnst night, while S. Schweglerand son Willie were looking for a missing sheep, they came upon two large panthers close to the house, which they killed on the spot. The mutton was about half devoured, aroutfd which traps were set afterwards. In the night panther No. 3 got into one of the traps, broke the chain, und now roams in the trackless forest wit i a handsome bracelet, but manages to muke nights hideous around Mr. Soliwegler’s premises. It is thought that it is the same panther that killed six sheep on Nelson’s and Anderson’s places. —[Cathlamet (Ore.) Gazette.
