A Cat.tale.

A Cat-tale.
Perhaps 'twould be more properly
called a ghost story, but by what eye
name you call it tits a true tale. The
gentle kline had been corralled. The
shades OF night had fallen, and the IN
mates OF the lonely farm house were
about to retire for the night. Suddenly
the jingle OF a COW bell was heard. AS
the cows OF the place sported no such
musical instrument, the alarm was
needed. On stepping outside all were
positive that the bell Or the crltter
sporting the bell, vas about the corral.
Two OF the boys proceeded to the yards
to drive out the stray critter. After
reaching the fence the bell again dingled
and was carried into an open shed. It
was quite dark but the parties imagined
the could make out the outlines OF an
animal. Skunks are somewhat numer-
Gus in that region and the boys did not
care to follow the shadow but sent
in the dog. He nosed about and
returned with no animal and all was
quiet within and without, not a note
from the bell nor vas it heard again
that night. The place is surrounded
with a four wire fence but IN the morn
ing no stray WAS found. Was it ghost?
Two days later under the shed and
caught in a hens nest, was found agreat
black cat with q COW bell attached. A
neighbors boy a mile distant, had
attached the bell to rid their ranch of a
chicken eating cat.

1t will be noticed that in the Dem
Ocratic convention the First ward will
have the power to dictate who shall
be nominated.
Some little interest is being ar
reused in the coming municipal cam
paign, though the main talk thus far
has been simply in regard to the
mayoralty. The FREE PRESS some
time ago urged the advisability of
both parties uniting on such man as
John A. Willard, and this suggestion
has been well received in all parts of
the city, and irrespective of party.
Thus far no other name has been
prominently mentioned. There seems
to be willingness on the part of
Democrats to nominate Mr.. Willard,
the Republicans to endorse him.
Some such understanding should be
arrived att else Peoples convention
should be called to nominate him and
the two regular party conventions en-
-<rSrse him or make no nomination.
Whether or not Mr.. Willard would &C
Cept the nomination under any con-
sideration we do not know, but were
it manifested that there was a general
desire that he take the nomination,
we do not believe that he would de-
cline. A man like Mr., Willard is now
badly needed at the helm.
