disappeared around a building before she had recovered from her fright. A lady who was riding along a trail recently saw a queer beast loping along ahead of her and gave chase to it. She had nearly overtaken it, when it turned and with a cry, more of agony than of terror, rushed past her, frightening her horse so that he threw his rider.     The Fort Benton River Press says of the beast: “Morgan Williams, who came in from the Teton to-day, reports there was great excitement in his neighborhood yesterday. A sheep shearer came in on horseback at a breakneck speed, dashing through wire fences and other obstacles, and explained his hurry by declaring that he had been chased over the prairie by a hideous man-eating monster. From the description given of the animal it appeared to he a cross between a mountain lion and a buffalo, its size comparing with that of a 2-year old heifer”     “Others declare that the animal is nearer the size of a Norman stallion, with the agility of a monkev and the grace of a panther. It is said to have the voice of a human being, but no one has been able to get an accurate description of it. From— The Neihart Herald. (Neihart, Mont.), 22 June 1895.
