A few particular of the killing of a Lynx in the wilds near the English bridge (Power Dan Road Defiance, Ohio) have strayed into Defiance during lynx scare. The fragment that have been gather up related in effect, that on the day that Dave King had his sale in Defiance township, a young man named Sitterly and a companion were passing through the woods when they flushed a strange animal that took to a tree. After around of platoon firing that would have made cuba tremble, the varmint still remind intact. A lucky shot with a hand spike in the partance of the woods, barked the animal, and with a mighty "meow" the animal gave up the ghost and fell to the ground. The boys took the animal to King's sale and the oracles there said it was a lynx.
They skinned and stretched the pelt and at a later day brought it to Defiance and sold it to H.P. Miller as a lynx hide. The fur was fine and a good price was paid for it. Since that time the naturalist in Defiance have come to the conclusion that the animal could not have been nothing more or less a huge tomcat H.P. has been buying furs for fifteen years and that he was deceived in his instance makes whispers in very deep tones. He will have the hide tanned and placed at the side of his bed that he may be remind every morning that man born of woman is likely to be skinned at any hour though he be cuter than a fox, Lynx hunters, steer clear of Miller
