Lions Raid Game
In Black Gap Area
IllSt
M r-
J.
f II I T'
AUSTIN. The assistant di-
rector of wildlife restoration fir
the (Jame and Fish Commission
reports that inountain lions are
cutting down some of the bif
game transplanted in the Black
(iap game management area in
the Dead Morse Mountain coun-
try.
Returning .from an inspection
trip west of the Pecos, he said
the big cats have been moving
into the Brewster county refug*
from nearby Mexico and the Hig
Hend National Park.
"There seems to be two maia
I reasons for the invasion," the as-
sistant director explained. "On*
is that the deer population in th*
nearby park seems to be thinning
out. The other is that we havt
been stocking the Black (Jap area
and have been impounding water
which is attractive to both our
transplanted deer and antelope
and certainly to the lions."
He said "it is the old story of
having to take the bad with th«
good" and then added: "Wher-
ever you have wildlife you havt
predators. We expected the raid-
ers sooner or later, but /rankly
, they seem to have shown up in
urnrisini'ly large numbers."
The director quoted the resi-
dent manager of the area, F*red
Moore, as reporting that deer
were the main targets of the
lions. 'The deer prefer the foot-
hills and that is where the cat*
II row I around most," Moore ob-
served. "The antelope pre.fer
the opi i i lain and are more or
less on of range."
Moore ha1 been trapping in an
effort to curb the invaders. Mis
last catch was a big female which
had been denned tin with two
kittens. Moore said he believed
the ymtii}' one*.- either perished or
left the area. Thi- lion had kill-
i• 11 at lea-t three doe deer, two
of them bearing fawn.
The maiiarer said the jrrim
counter attack routine , ecently
w.i sn'ced by his black cocker
panic], named "Skeeter Bill,"
which began acting like a lion
dog.
That i , the dog did until he
foolishly leaped off an overhang-
ing rock iinnn the head n,f the big
cat that had one leg in a trap.
Only thing that saved the pooeh
was that, the lion, in swinging
furiously at the pup, shook it
loose from the ear to which it
Mad Hie lion's paw
struck home that wonM have
been all for "Skeetrr Bill."

"Mommy, can I stay at grandmother's tonight?" That was little
Carol's very first telephone call — a real thrill that can hardly
lie measured in dollars and cents. Yet, Mrs. Caroline Niemeyer,
Carol's grandmother, can tell you what that call cost. She is
one of a group of customers who kept day-by-day records of
calls made for a week — a total of 30 calls covering 133 miles.
Then she broke her telephone bill down into the actual cost
per call. "I was amazed," she reported, "at how little my tele-
phone service cost for all the convenience and happiness it
delivers." southwestern bell telephone company ... a team or
