ATTACKED BY A PANTHER

A few days since, as a man on Yellow River, Iowa, was driving his ox team along the road, he suddenly felt the claws of some animal in his shoulder. After a short strugg,e he succeeded in shaking him off, when getting hold of his pitch fork, he attacked it and drove it off. It proved to be a very large panther. This is the first that has been seen in this region for some years
