About Nov. "a look ont for wild cats In
Connecticut One Of them is seen close TO
the Rhode Island line. and his appearance
is duly chrOnicled The next day he is
sighted a little east Of the Connecticut
river, where he PLAYS havoc with live

fifty years, is on the trail On the follow

The richness Of detail will puzzle the
scientific men al first but there are three
explanations to smooth his way. one or
them is that there were more than one
wildcat; another is that there was only
one cat, but it had q lot OF lives, ana the
third is that these phenomena occurred
in Connecticut. ANY one of the eNplana-
tions is uficent. 1t viii also be noted that
for good, steady, crOss-country work thefe
bis nothing to compare with the wildcat OF
the Nutmeg state.
