August 11, 1899 - "Jesse Shill, of this place, and Josiah Taylor, of Henefer, had a thrilling experience with mountain lions on the 3rd inst. while herding sheep for Mr. William Stevens, about 5 miles back of Henefer. They ran across what they believed to be five young wildcats and pursued them, one being caught by the Shill boy. He had no more than made the capture before he was attacked by the mother - which proved to be a mountain lion. At it sprang at him it caught his ear. Just at this moment, the dogs pounced upon the infuriated lion which diverted her attention from the boys, who made as fast as possible for camp. After getting a gun they went back and shot the old lion and three of the cubs; one cub made it's escape and one was captured. The latter was taken to Henefer and will be raised by Mr. Stevens.
