man, but will generally give him the
right of way. The people here call them
tigers, but h is a misnomer, they are the
genuine American panther, though al
most as ar ge .Tin! quite as ferocious as
the tiger. flu cattle men here dont
appear to mind tackling a panther any
more than a Tallahassee sport man would
a wild cat. Not long since while look
ing after their cattle in the woods with
out guns, Dr. T. E. Langford and Mr.
Jehu Blount came upon a large panther
in the p no woods and made him take a
tree. As the huge beast crouched upon
a limb glaring vengeance from its tirerv
eyeballs, they cut some heavy clubs and
then fastening a large knife on the end
of a pole, one of t hen', drew its attention
while the other ran under the tree and
jabbed the !:ui:'c into the panther’s
bre st wounding it severely. Then came
the tug of war, th,-> panther sprang at
them furiously, hut the wound caused it
to miss its aim a m before it could re
cover for a second leap they fell upon it
with the clubs and stunned it until
tliey could stab il ;•> "death with their
knives. It measured seven and a half
feet in lengih, This panther could easi
ly have limited oil' with a half grown
cow mid could have torn out a man's
heart with one stroke of its paw yet
the.'i.; i'cimi do not seem to think
they a •ompUhed any extriordinary
feat in its destruci iori without a gun.
