Strange Death Brought to Light at
Hillsboro.
Greensboro telegram

Mr.. o. Williams, of this city, tells
the Telegram that while at Hillsboro
last Friday he was shown the dried and
hardened bodies of a cat and rat which
met death in Il most unusual and strange
manner. The cat had one tooth stuck in
the shoulder of the rat, a paw raised as
if to strike it, and in this position they
both died. 1t is possible the bodies have
been in this condition for over a hundred
years.
This strange case was brought to
light in the following manner: An old
building which formerly belonged to the
Badgetts. was recently purchased by Mr..
s. e. Cole, a merchant in Hillsboro. The
building was erected long before the
Revolutionary War. Mr. Cole recently
employed a Mr.. Cooley to take the old
house down, and it was while engaged
in this work that the remarkable speci-
men was found.
Away up in the boxing near the
caves Of the house the rat had been
chased by the cat to point over behind
the top plate and they had forced Them
selves into such q narrow creyice that
they could not get out, neither could the
cat eat the rat In this position, the cat
with one tooth stuck in the rats should
