Marvelous Discoveries Varmint Frightens Farmers. Evansville, Ind., June 8.—With the blood of a lamb which it had killed and devoured dripping from its jaws, the “‘varmit’’ which had been terror- izing the people in the surrounding country near providence, Ky., for the past week, was seen by a_ party of searchers late this afternoon near the edge of the woods south of town. The animal showed no disposition toward flight when approactied, but stood looking at ther with its burning eyes, ready to spring at the approach of any of the party. A volley of shots was fired at it, but the deepening twilight served as a protection to the beast, and the bullets went wild. Farmers are excited to the greatest state of fear because of the presence of the animal in the neighborhood, ,and many of them are sheltering their stock at night in order to protect them Logan-Moore Lumber Co. ; Less than twenty years ago an Ok- Jlahoma friend of mine entertained company in a small dug-out.
