Lion  Rampant  Chcval  Couchant

The  mountain  lions  in  the  vicinity  of  the 
Mangas  and  Gila  valleys  are  making  sad  havoc 
with  the  young  colts  this  season.  Several  parties 
have  reported  their  losses  to  the  Enterprise, 
among  whom  may  be  mentioned  Henry  Miller, 
who  has  lost  fifty  colts;  Judge  Tom  Clark, 
twenty;  John  Moss,  sixteen;  Dan  McMillan, 
five,  Tony,  of  Black  Hawk,  three.  These  are 
the  numbers  positively  known  from  carcasses 
found  torn  to  pieces  by  these  ferocious  animals. 
How  many  more  that  have  not  been  found  is 
difficult  to  determine,  but  many  colts  are  miss- 
ing from  this  year’s  crop  that  are  supposed  to 
have  been  killed  by  lions.  The  ranchers  pro- 
pose petitioning  the  next  legislature  for  a 
larger  bounty  on  lion  scalps,  so  that  hunters 
may  be  induced  to  make  lion  scalp  hunting  a 
business  and  rid  the  rancher  of  this  scourge.
