Farmer. Have n Fierce Combat With
the Brute.

Croton Dam. \. Y, Aug. 2e-Farmers in
this vicinity have been on the lookout for
several weeks for animals which killed
and carried away hundreds of their chick
ems. turkeys and geese. AT first it was
thought foxes had invaded the barnyards,
but on Friday morning George Cozzens
and Henry Burns discovered tracks OF
bigger animal, which led into the deep
woods in the rear of Mr.. Burns barn.
Along the ground where the tracks led
was a trail of feathers.
They armed themselves Saturday and
started to search the woods. When they
had proceeded three miles into the densest
part of the woods they came upon heap
of feathers and a little further on caught
sight of two immense rocks, unde. which
was a deep crevice stretching back into
darkness At the mouth of the opening
were heaps of feathers and bones.
Cozzens put his rifle to his shoulder and
stole forward to fire at pair of gilt
tering eyes in the back part of the cave.
Before he could press the trigger an i'm
mense wildcat bounded from the cave
with a fierce scream and sprang into a
big spruce tree 10 feet away.
Cozzens leveled his rifle and fired. Burns
at the same time blazing away with his
revolver The rifle bullet, as was after
ward discovered, plowed furrow in the
wildcats skull.
Thoroughly enraged and screaming from
the pain, the beast leaped from the tree
to the ground and before another shot
could be fired sprang upon Cozzens. fas-
tening Its teeth and claws in his face
and neck and knocking him to the ground.
As Cozzens fell his rifle was accidentally
the bullet striking the wild
cat in the shoulder.
When the second bullet struck the ami
NAL It sprang at Burns. who put another
shot in its body. Still full of fight. the
wildcat made another rush at Burns.
Cozzens meanwhile had got to his feet,
and as the wildcat was about to leap upon
Burns sent bullet through its brain.
killing it.
Cozzens was severely scratched and bit
ten by the animals first attack. He is
still confined to his bed.
The animal weighed seventy-eight
pounds. and was 3 feet s inches long.

The expressions Of Senator Frye. guard
ed as they are. must be taken as en-
couraging to those who favor the re-
tention Of everything we have gained
by the war. Contrary TO the common
opinion. he thinks the Commissioners will
have authority to arrange the terms
of the treaty according to their own
ideas. That is to say, they will not
have explicit Instructions on all points.
It is apparent that Senator Frye. at any
rate. favors the keeping Of more than
Manila and its island In the Philippines.
and all the other insular possessions of
Spain. That's the talk. Ii would be too
bad to have Spain for a near neighbOr,
for it would mean her subsequent sur
render under the pressure of revolution
lists or else another war with America.
Let's do 1t all up now and escape future
complications.
