I've seen this before.  I cannot believe that the mule just attacked a 
mountain lion and killed it, just like that. 
Let's take a closer look at the pictures.
If it had happened the way they said it did, the lion would've left the 
vicinity when it found itself overfaced.  The Mule would've been 
scratched or bitten, the dogs would've been doing something besides 
sitting there observing.  The rifle would've been used on the lion, as 
it wasn't in the scabbard(that must've been a heckuva buck...the rifle 
went too!).
My take on this is that the people involved were out hunting the 
mountain loin...note the hunting dogs.  They pursued it until it was 
exhausted and could run no longer.  There is a strong possiblity that 
the lion had it's leg trapped and couldn't escape(look really closely at 
the pics...looks like there is more there than just reins).   Then, 
perhaps, the mule got in on the action.  It probably got caught up in 
the hunt, and got aggressive when the cat was too tired to fight or 
run.  That part I'd believe.
