A Daring Mexican,
A Mexican, accompanied by his dog
was on his way to Tempe to do some
trading, when the dog treed a large Cali-
fornia lion. The man was unarmed,
save a large butcher knife, but nothin
daunted, and knowing where he oy
seli the skin for a dollar, he whipped
out his knife and started up the tree
after the specimen of the king of beasts.
Slipping up within reaching distance,
he coolly plunged the knile into the
animal just behind the shoulder, which
so startled him that he leaped to the
ground and was instantly bounced by
the dog, when the man hastened from
the tree, sprang upon the beast and
planted a home thrust through bis heart,

having his hat torn in pieces. The lion
measured about eight feet from the tip
of the Boge to the tip of his tail, and

would have mashed him into a jelly.
