A QUEER ANIMAL KILLED.
Hunters Secure an Animal Whose Name
Cannot be Learned.

hunters secure aa animal whose Name
Cannot be Learned.
PAINSVILLE, O., November 30.-A
strange animal said to be a cross be-
tween a coon and a common domestic
cat was killed by hunters near the
Lake-Geauga county line Tuesday
morning. The characteristics Of both
parents are combined in a remarkable
manner, and when first seen the animal
was believed to be a wild cat. 1t was
nearly twice the size of a domestic cat,
and was covered with long dusky yell
low fur. The legs and tail were long
like those of cat, and were without
the rings and black markings of a
coon. The muzzle was long and point
ed, and the head appeared very small
as compared with the size of the body.
Several of these animals were known
to be in the woods about gainesville a
number of years ago. and one which
has been tanned was kept as pet at
a saloon on State street, where its
mounted skin is now preserved. The
animal killed Tuesday is believed to
be the only one of its kind killed near
here in recent years, and may have
been the only one in existence.

which has been in operation for forty
years or more, practically decided to
close up its affairs tonight, though a
final meeting will be held December 4.
At one time the association had a
surplus of $4,000. but of late Access
sions have been few, so that the brunt
of death assessments have fallen upon
the older members. In 1894 there was
a reorganization accompanied by a
heavy assessment, and now the aver
age of the members is between fifty
and sixty. When $4,000 of pending
claims are paid there will be but s1S,-
600 left in the treasury. Accordingly
at meeting tonight President w. H.
Elston and Secretary W. c. Wikoff
presented a plan to dissolve the asso-
citation. This will be done.

WEST VIRGINIA GAME.
A Hampshire County Sportsman Tells What
is Needed to Make 1t More Plentiful.
10 the E,ditor. Of nhxa Raoister

To the Editor of the Register.
ROMNEY, w. Va, November S.-Years
and years ago, game was SO plentiful in
Hampshire county that it was no unusual
thing for man to kill two or three deer
in a day, but to-day the day of game
laws, etc, a person did not expect to see
game so plentiful as it has been in this
county this fall. 1t has been no unusual
thing to see from three to four deer
brought into this town on one wagon, and
all together there has been over forty deer
killed here within a radius of five miles
from town On or two reasons for this is
the fact that we have had forest fires in
Maryland and the western part of the
State ard it is supposed that lots of
deer have been driven in this county on
account of that fact. Another is that we
have had practically a close season for
three years, and the deer have had an OPP
portunity to breed unElolested. The whole
sale slaughter of does and fawns should
be prevented if there is a way to prevent
it. Our citizens do not allow hounds and
this may be another help to the plenu-
tude Of deer. But what's become of our
game warden? He has not been heard Of
since his appointment. Our game laws are
good enough If enforced, but they are not
enforced. You cannot enforce game laws
without deputy war5ens. Lots Of citizens
of other States are hunting in this State
without d Incense as our game laws r.
qlaire. And game Is being shipped cut of
the State marked as poultry and no one
to try to prevent it. Our license law is a
prohibtory one and with fifteen years ac-
qua!ntance with the majority Of sports
men VINO have hunted in this county, /
can say that for every cents worth Of
game they have carried away they have
expended ore dollar, and the license law
is only a protection 10 the game hog and
the man who hunts to sell. Why should
the State of West Virginia demand TWEEN
ty-five dollars of a nonresident for hunt
ing. and Il paid by him. give MIN 70 place
to hurt? Most farmers have their farms
posted and the State has no game pre-
serves An attempt win be made at the
next meeting of our legislature TO put
license on fishing by non-residents, OF five
or ten dollars. This would be a needless
piece of legislation if the present fish and
game laws were carried out Why does
not our game warden take some interest
in these subjects? There are plenty of
men in Wheeling who can vCuch for the
fact that the South Branch was at one time
as good a black bass stream as could be
found. Constant flsing, catching with tie
RATS and fish pots has been the ruinatlon
Of our bass fishing. The U. S. Fish Com
mission placed lot of young bass in this
stream this fall, and if our stream becomes
good again it will depend on the enforce
ment OF our fish and game laws. Others
may disagree with me, but | can prove
the facts of which l have written.
