Cuts down (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

hews

mows

'cuts down' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for hews that I've seen before include "Fells" , "Cuts or shapes with an axe" , "Old-style appearances" , "Chops as with axe" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate and The Wall Street Journal.
