Terrible Conflict with a Catamount.
The dwelling of Mr. Tboroas S. Be
laud. of this pariah, was lately the scene
•of a most s'rauge and desperate encoun
ter with a catamount, in which several ne
groes were severely bitten, and much
alarm created among*', the occupants of
the bouse.
Ttie plantation is one of the oldest on
the bayou, and the dwelling, a noble one,
is erected amongst a duster of lire and
water oaks, with a few pecans and other
trees of the forest. Except a few ever
greens that skirt the biyou, there is noth
ing in the shape of a lurking place for
such an animal nearer than tbe swamp on
either side in tire rear of the cultivated
fields.
Some two weeks since a negro woman
heard a noise in the cabin lot above the
dwei'here a servant or two lived,
and upon repairing to the spot she was
met by a strange animal, whereupon she
beat a retreat, pursued leisurely by tbe
monster. The steward came out, attract
ed by her cries, and seeing the animal, re
turned for his master's gun and discharged
the first load indicting a slight wound.—
The second charge dtd not take tided, and
frightened at tbe approach of his fearless
antagonist, he threw down his gun to fly.
but had hardly turned ere it fastened upon
his back with a bound, and seized him by
th. neck, in which situation he rushed in
to the house, calling loudly for assistance.
His master who had not yet dressed,
peeped out, and alarmed for his family,
closed the dpor again, doubtless deeming
discretion tbe letter fur. of valor.
Satisfied with having prostrated his first
antagonist who lay helpless on the floor
of the ball, his catamountship inspected
tt-e princely apartments on the first floor,!
and when the negroes arrived from tbe j
sugar-house, he seated himself on the j
front piazza, and calmly surveyed same i
half-dozen or more o» them, batisne/ij
with the scrutiny, he entered the parlor or!
sluing room, and took formal possession,!
and when the door was opened by a ne-'
gro man, be flew at him, seizing him by
the throat. Tne negro was a powerful
roan, and after being severely lacerated,
finally got him under his feet, when four
balls were fired into him from a revolver
in the hands of a bystander.
The overseeer, who had now reached
the spot, deemiug him dead, ordered the
negro to remove bis feet, wben to the
amazement of all present, be sprang upon
a third negro, but was knocked off by a
blow from a gun, opportunely brought by
the overseer.—[Franklin (La.) Banner.
