He and his guide stalk the lair at close range, the tiger is killed, villagers skin the animal, and the hunter values the skin for a rug for his niece.

Frontier Days of Texas An Encounter With Indians and Three White Men
On a 1872 road trip from Comanche to San Saba two wagon teams carry wheat and corn when a nearby ravine hosts about thirty Indians. Teamsters George Wallace Frank Brown and Bush Grissom defend with a single shotgun and Roach’s five shooter. Brown wounds the chief as Wallace and Grissom drive to escape. Roach fights hand to hand, kills four Indians with pistol fire, and escapes after the mule is shot. Roach is wounded, subsists in a ravine, and all survivors return to find the Indian leader dead and graves or signs of the battle nearby.
