TIGERS A PUBLIC MENACE.
People and Stock Are Killed by Save
age Beasts in Mexican
Territory.
Tigers, driven from their mountain
lairs In the territory of Tepio by the
scarcity of food, continue to ravage the
haclendae of the valleys. They are be
coming such a general danger, says the
Mexican Herald, that the municipal au-( j
thorltles have offered a reward of $10
for every tiger’s skin.
For the past several months great
numbers of the animals have swarmed
through the marshes of the lowlands
along the coast and in the valleys of
the territory of Tepic, having been
driven out of the states of Sinaloa andf
Sonora by the floods and the extremely
cold weather. The damage caused bo
the haclendados and the danger In
curred by the presence of the animals
was such that many of them offered
rewards for the skins of the animals
some time ago.
The tigers, however, seem to like the
warm weather and the good food that
they are getting in Tepic and instead of
decreasing their numbers have greatly
increased within the last few weeks.
Now the ihunicipal authorities of the
territory have also offered a reward for
the skins of the animals.
The tigers have become so bold that
they will enter the houses on the plan
tations and help themselves to what
ever comes in their path. Several
deaths are reported in different parts
of the territory. In many sections of
me state it is necessary to have armed
guards stationed at night, to insure
the safety of the other people in the
settlements.
Live stock is suffering more than
anything else. With the slight pro
visions that are necessary for ths shel
ter of the stock, it leaves them in most
cases without any protection at all
from the beasts. Even the presence
of numerous guards around a bunch of
cattle is oftentimes insufficient to keep
the tigers from getting away with an
animal or two from along the edges
of the herd.
Hunting for the animals has been
greatly stimulated by the offers of the
government and scores of hunters are
scouring the country for them. The
number of the' skins that have been
turned in thus far is large and It is
hoped that it will not be long before
the animals are driven back to the
seclusion of the mountains.
WAKING IN THE WILDERNESS
How to Get Out of Bed When the
Thermometer Registers Yorty
Below Zero.
You are awakened in the bitter dark
ness of the early morning by the
sound of the camp dogs moving among
the frozen pails of refuse. You heat
their padding footsteps passing this
way and that outside of the tents and
the brushing of their bodies against
the canvas walls. Then you hear the
sound of chopping wood where some
one is at work in the starlight, says
the Boston Globe. One of the men
stirs and rises in the darkness. The
tent is bitter cold, with everything
frozen as hard as iron. You hear the
man fumbling around In the darkness
for the matches, and presently hs
strikes one and lights a candle.
Presently he begins chopping ths
wood for the stove, and his big, round
shadow moves unoouthly and gro
tesquely about the walls as the flame
of the candle wavers in the draught
of cold air He makes a Are, and in
a mocpent the flame is roaring up the
stovepipe, which gradually becomes a
dull red with the gushing heat. He
stands with his back to the stove and
presently the other mau rises and
joins him
Then you yourself move reluctantly
in your warm swaddling of furs, and
with some effort crawl out into the
bitter cold and joiat the others around
the stove. None of you speak, but
each absorbs the soaoty heat In
silence. By and by, warmed to some
return of life, you peep out of the
tent; the sky is like black orystal, the
stars shining with Incredible efful
gence. From the stovepipe of the
other tents roeketa of flame are gush
ing up Into the air; showen of aparka
rise up into the night high overhead
—plover, waver, aad then sink dwind
ling upon the tent and the surround
ing snow.
You look at the thermometer hang
lag agaloet a tree and see by the light
of a mateh that it la 40 degrees below
aero. By tM's time the smell of ooek
lng ie filling the silent froiea apacee
of the ItAneat and you'reenter' the
teat to hug again the warmth of the
stove, with a huge appetite for the
rude breakfast of molted preese aad
giltettes.
