Thompson 73 Medford Oregon Interview with Judge Colvig Oct. 15, 1930. Deer were far more plentiful in the past than at present. Mt. Sheep were never known at Crater Lake. In 1865, sheep were on Stein's Mt. Grizzly Bear used to be abundant around Crater Lake. The last one (Club-foot) was killed in the "early seventies" by John B. Griffin. Grizzlies were in the Middle Fork to Rogue. Cobles were reported here, but the judge never saw them. Mt. Lion: At Canyonville, the judge's brother (then just a boy) and two other boys were driving home to town. A Mt. Lion jumped on the back of one of the boys & lacerated him quite badly. The other two beat it off with whips.
