Her Grit Rewarded by Southern Texas Cattle association Whose { Members Preseuted Her with a Gold-Mounted Revolver. The Southern Texas Cattle associa- tion has given Miss Norma Diorn 4@ gold-mounted revolver and a hand- some saddle as a reward of “grit.” The Christian Work tells the story of her courageous act: Miss Diorn and her two sisters live on their father’s large cattle ranch and are accustomed to riding about and looking after the cattle. One Sunday morning Miss Diorn } started out on her pony to inspect the wire fence of a small pasture a couple of miles from ti house. As she started out she swung the belt of her Winchester over the gate post, remarking that she was not going far and wouldn’s need a gun. She was hardly out of sight before an immense Mexican lion sprang out in the road in front of the pony. The beast gave a few loud roars and then disappeared in the direction of a sma)! bunch of coaws and calves. When Miss Diorn saw that he was chasing a white cow which was her especial pet, she started toward him at full speed, yelling at the top of her voice. She reached him just as he sprang upon the neck of a calf, crushing it to the earth. The old cows instantly charged the lion, and the mother of the calf gave him such an ugly thrust with her sharp horns that he was forced to re- linquish his hold on his prey. The sight of the trembling, frightened lit- tle calf aroused the girl’s ire, and swinging her rope over her head, she rode at the lion, threatening to tear him to pieces if he did not let her cattle alone. The retreated, and, summon- ing all the strength of her lungs, the girl screamed at him and urged her pony to pursue him.

So, instantly, as the lion sprang | forward, the pony began to run. The | rope was tense, and if she had wished | to do it the girl could not have un- | fastened the lariat from the saddle horn. Realizing that her life depended | upon the strength and speed of her pony, she leaned forward and urged her frightened mustang to do his best. She reached the ranch gate at her home just as her sisters, accom- panied by two young men of the | neighborhood, were about to pass through on their way to church. “There now!” she shouted, “I have roped and dragged a lion to death.” Her speech of triumph was cut short by a warning scream from one of her sisters, who noticed that the lian was about to regain his feet and renew the battle. One of the men sent a bullet through the monster's brain and ended his career, She will stand up to the fray as long = as passes are made at her, but should her tormentor turn to run, Tabby fastens to tffe calf of his leg with both teeth and claws and holds on until he renews the fight with his hands, She is so used to fighting men that | the biggest of dogs has no terrors for her.

While urging her horse into a Barow canyon Mrs. Marx espied a huge black bear coming toward her from a clump of bushes. Quickly dis- mounting, she knelt on one knee and fired. The bullet broke one front leg, but bruin only quickened his pace, at the same time uttering a growl. Work- ing the lever the woman hunter threw another shell into the gun and fired again. The bear stopped for an in- stant and licked a hole in his left breast and then continued to approach with rapid strides. Never losing her nerve for a moment, Mrs. Marx pumped another cartridge arrel, and this time, taking careful aim at a vital spot under and in front of the right shoulder, pulled the trigger.
