The following sounds like Danbury News story but the incident is vouched for by the Waterbury Republican, whose editor is a Sunday school superintendent: A handsome cat running across the track at the New England crossing was struck by passing train and cut in two. The most wonderful thing connected with the occur renee was that the fore part of the body upon which the head still remained, started up from it's position and ran across the track and the road to distant barn where the men were at work who affirmed the truth of the story. Some of them were frightened, be- ieving that nothing but an evil spirit could make 8 cats head run away with it's fore legs. Another workman more courageous than the rest killed the suffering animal. At the same time every motion ceased in the portion of the bodv left on the track
