130 years ago today - Mar 30, 1883

[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] I read a letter from Nellie Woodruff At Ashleys Fork giving an account of 2 Men killing an Animal in the Country Sumthing of the Panther kind that measured 9 feet in length 3 1/2 feet high & weighed 200 lbs. It was shot with 17 Balls Before it died. It was Considered the largest Animal of the kind Ever killed in the Rocky Mountains.
