The Standard-Examiner reports the big cat was killed last month by a hunter after it had been lurking around neighborhoods in the small mountain community of Eden.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Former Mexico President Vicente Fox is reiterating his strong opposition to United States President Donald Trump's push for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Fox said Tuesday while speaking at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City: "Walls divide. We must build bridges." Fox says historical border walls in China and Germany failed and showed they don't work. Fox says the United States should be sure the border wall will work because Mexico will never pay for it, as Trump has demanded.
