CAMERA SHOTS AT BIG GAME 69 



and claws into the flesh. The pack flew to "JefFs" rescue, 

 and in a jiffy " bobby " was rather a sorry-looking object. 



The next cat we found would not tree, but gave us a long 

 chase back and forth all through a larger patch of cedars. 

 We came up to the dogs two or three times, and would see the 

 cat hiding and doubling with all his cunning until he finally 

 allowed them to come up to him while backed up under an 

 old root, where he was killed. Soon after we found another, —

The next one gave us a good chase and treed in a cedar top 

 of bare, dead limbs. (No. 6.) I took one picture of him, and

 On the west side the rock was thirty or more feet high, but
