	''The Eaton Democrat'' (1887) and ''[[The Sydney Mail]]'' (1889) reported from ''[[The Sun (New York)]]'' that a [[hunter]] said that he and his companions traveled about {{convert\|30.0\|mile\|km\|abbr=off}} to the north-west of [[Bangalore]], and encamped on the bank of a [[Creek (stream)\|creek]] near a [[Population decline\|depopulated]] [[village]] that extended for about {{convert\|0.5\|mile\|m\|abbr=off}} along it, in a [[~~Hill\|hilly~~]], [[timber]]ed forest. He said that the creek had water about {{convert\|2.0\|ft\|cm\|abbr=on}} deep, was about {{convert\|10.0\|ft\|m\|abbr=on}} wide, and emptied into the [[Cauvery River]] about {{convert\|20.0\|mile\|km\|abbr=off}} below. That night, they heard noises from the [[Indian leopard\|panther]], [[Bengal tiger\|tiger]], [[Indian lion\|lion]], [[Indian wolf\|wolf]], [[Striped hyena\|hyena]] and [[Golden jackal\|jackal]]. The village, besides others, had been depopulated due to a [[fever]] [[Plague (disease)\|plague]]. For this reason, no shooting had occurred in this area for years, and this reportedly allowed animals, such as lions and tigers, to be plentiful here, or come here from areas where they had been driven out. In the hunter's party was a native who lived near [[Seringapatam]], and had been informed about the abundance of lions and tigers in this place, which was why they came here. The next day, after leaving the camp, he came across a big, black [[snake]], and heard an animal in the [[thicket]]. Alarmed, he prepared his [[rifle]], and kept a watch on his surroundings as he went to the village. There, he entered a large [[hut]], which had a whitened [[skull]] inside. After kicking the skull, a dark, hairy, [[venomous]] creature (probably an [[insect]] or [[reptile]]) bit his left [[wrist]], forcing him to treat himself for about 15 minutes. Recovering, he rejoiced, but when he looked northwards, he noticed a lion and tiger, much to his surprise. The two beasts, which were stalking him, were on opposite sides of an [[adobe]] wall that extended for about {{convert\|300.0\|ft\|m\|abbr=on}}, and was about {{convert\|4.0\|ft\|cm\|abbr=on}} tall. Possibly due to excitement for hunting the witness, they did not notice each other at first.
