A huge panther, the first one killed in Pennsylvania for many years, and one of the largest ever seen in the Allegheny mountains, was shot near Clarence, this county, on Saturday. A telegraph ope- | rator, Charles H. Watson, at Clarence | station, is the heroic young hunter who brought down this royalgame. Itwasa dangerous encounter, as the panther is the most formidable and ferocious beast that inhabits the forests of North Amer- ica. Young Watson is only 18 years old and left the telegraph station at Clarence, on the Beech Creek railroad, Shoe, which located in one | wildest spots of the Allegheny tains.

The early morning trains were crowded and unable to carry all the passengers. Private conveyances crowded the public roads so that by noon probably the larg- est crowd ever seen there was on the ground. At noon the heat was intense, a hot wave made everybody swelter. At about 2 p. m. dark clouds appeared in the western horizon, They grew heav- ier, darker, and soon covered the sky with a most threatening aspect. Deep, low rumblings and brilliant flashes of | vivid lightning told that a terrible storm was coming. People began to rush for quarter and shelter. Many were alarmed about their conveyance lest the horses might be stampeded. Ina few minutes it became almost dark, the rain same down and the wind blew with great force.
