This season he is filling the re- quest of a German circus for 100 cougars, and he ranges the forests of Idaho, Washington and Mon- tana with his axe and three ‘/cou- gar hounds,” catching his, cats alive. With a steel lariaf, he hauls them out of the trees. The rest of his equipment con- sists of a pair of light tree climb- ers, a leather muzzle and a few short pieces of sash cord. He has no need of a gun. On one recent expedition, typi- cal of Bakker’s daily round of teil, six cats were caught. Bakker and two friends stalked about unmtil they found the body of a freshly- killed mule-deer - doe. Tracks showed that the cougars that kill- ed it went in several directions.? Each dog started on a separate track, and one of them soon treed a ferocious cat. The men, hasten- ing to the ‘spot, found the Wog baying under tree from which a young cougar "spat and snarled Bakker obtained a slender 15- foot pole and attached the wire cable, with its noose abont tem inches ‘in - diameter, one ‘of the hunters related, and climbing the tree, flung it over the cougar's head.

One man clung to: the noose about its neck, another clutched it by the tail, and Bakker grabbed the big beast by the throat and adjusted a collar, chain and mus- zle.
