THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, 1 PA.
A Texas Black Panther.
A few mornings ago Owen Premier
gast, a small farmer living near Cole
man, Texas, left home, seeking a
young cow which had strayed from
her pasture and failed to turn up when
milking time came. I'rendcrgast had
gone nearly a quarter of a mile when
he was overtaken by his wife, who
brought him his pistols, explaining
thai as she had seen him walk away
she had been seized with a presenti
ment of danger and, remembering
that her husband was unarmed, she
had followed with the weapons.
Trendergast laughed at the woman,
but took the pistols, securing them
about his waist.
Nothing was to be seen of the
missing animal on the prairie, so the
larmer resolved to search the belt of
timber about lour or five miles awav,
This he did pretty thoroughly without
coming across any trace of the cow.
when he found a broken place in a
thicket where some animal had gallop
ed about as if in terror, the ground
being cut up with hoof marks, while
the herbage and undergrowth was
sprinkled with blood. Following these
marks Pendergast came across othtr
indications that convinced him that
the cow he was in search of had here
been wounded in some way, and had
gone wild with her pain. Soon he
discovered the place where she had
fallen only to rise again and go running
on, tne Diooa spots growing more
lrequent, wetting the grass in pools,
I'rendcrgast drew his pistols and
followed the trail, which led him
deeper into the woods, and presently
came upon the cow lying under a tree
dead, with a large object at its throat,
tearing it open and lapping the blood
ns it flowed. This object as the farmer
drew near raised its head, and revealed
itself as an enormous wildcat of the
variety known as the black panther
irom us size and a perlectly round
tiacK spot just between the eyes.
Without quitting its prey the big
cat turned snarling toward the farmer,
it3 coarse fur bristling with a warning
of its ferocity and determination to
hold its ground. Prendergast fired at
it, but the shot only splintered the
tree behind it. The wildcat rose, how.
ever, and faced its enemy, watching
him with bloodshot eyes and open
snarling mouth, waving its tail as a
cat does when creeping upon a bird,
tut made no attempt to attack. the
farmer, until, firing a second time, he
cut off one of the tasseled ears close
to the head. Then with a scream of
fury the beast crouched for a moment
and sprang forward.
Prendergast fired directly into its
face, but unstayed by the shot that
cut away the tip end of its muzzle
and left it bleeding profusely, the cat
had nearly reached him when in
sudden panic the farmer ran behind
the tree. But the cat was after him,
and though he dodged, aiming to
keep the trunk of the tree between
him and the now thoroughly enraged
animal, the creature was too quick for
him, and springing forward caught
him, and flinging itself upon him bore
him to the ground. Prendergast struck
at the cat with the butt end of one of
his pisto b( but the animal seized his
riht arm in its teeth and tore at the
flesh.
In his fall the farmer had gotten
his left arm under him in a way that
rendered him all but helpless in the
power of his antagonist, and the cat
bit and tore at him with its teeth and
nails until his entire body was nearly
raw. Prendergast struggled desper
ately, but was not able to throw off
the cat, which only dug its claws the
deeper into his flesh for his twistings
and writhings. But realizing that it
was a question now of only a short
time till the animal killed him, the
tarmer made one supreme effort and
succeeded in releasing his arm. With
this he was able to draw the other
pistol from his belt, and placing it
close to the blunt head on his breast,
pulled the trigger and fired. The
charge entered the brain, tearing away
one side of the skull and dashing the
brains and blood over the face of the
prostrate man.
A'hen night came on and her hus
band did not return Mrs. Prendergast
erew uneasy and started out to look
for him, but meeting a neighbor, who
told her that he had seen Prendergast
in town that afternoon, she returned
home. But as morning came without
bringing him she rode over to see her
informant of the day before, who ad
mitted finally that he might have been
mistaken in the man he had seen, and
who offered to go with her to seek
her husband.
They came upon the spot where
the cat ha probably leaped from a
tree upon the back of the hapless cow,
and following" the same indications
that had been pursued by the farmer
the day before soon discovered him
lyin as though dead, with the body
of the cat still stretched on his un
conscious form and his face almost
indistinguishable for the brain and
blood upon it. He was alive, however,
though he had bled profusely from
the innumerable scratches some of
them that reached nearly to the bone
which covered his body, and from
his right arm, which had been fear
fully lacerated by the cat.
it was feared that he would bleed
to death before he could be gotten
home, but prompt attention was
secured and that evening he was able
to give an account of his terrible
experience, i
Fashionable White Toilettes for Ladies.
As the Rummer season advances
white gowns are the favorites for the
sea shore and mountains. White
flannel as well as serge are adopted
for mountain costumes or yachting
suits and are even worn in bicycle
riding. For the morning, white toil
ettes of pique, duck and linen are
seen in endless combinations. Be
sides these, the following materials
are largely in demand : China silks,
barges, dotted or embroidered, Swiss
muslins, and all the varieties of nain
sook and dimities. Among the nov
elties in summer millinery white is
also popular. Artistic hats are made
of tulle, and the delicate milk-white
chip hats are trimmed with white
moire and white flowers in pictur
esque confusion. The favorite wrap at
the summer resorts is the Golf cape.
in white cloth, lined with some
dainty bright color in plaid or bro
cade. , In the McDowell Fashion
Magazine are found numerous details
concerning these novelties, the pat
terns ot which are offered in the form
of coupons at very moderate prices.
"La Mode de Paris," and "Paris Al
bum of Fashion," cost $3.50 each per
annum, or 35 cents a copy. "The
French Dress Maker" is $3.00 per
year, or 30 cents a copy. "LaMode,"
a unique family journal in the colored
plates, costs only $1.50 per year, or
15 cents a copy. The three first
mentioned publications offer each
$1.00 worth of coupon patterns and
"La Mode" fifty cents worth of the
same as a premium for a yearly sub
scription. If you are unable to pro
cure any of these journals from your
newsdealer do not take any substitute
trom him but apply by mail to Messrs.

Pacts Worth Knowing.
In all diseases of the nasal mucous
membrane the remedy used must be
non-irritating. Nothing satisfactory
can be accomplished with douches,
snutls, powders, or astringents, be
cause they are irritating, do not trior
oughly reach the affected surfaces and
should be abandoned as worse than
failures. A multitude of persons who
had for years borne all the worry and
pain that catarrh can inflict testify to
radical and permanent cures wrought
by Ely's Cream Balm. Your druggist
has it.
