Fred K. Gilbert, Mrs. G. II. Clapp and
two young men from Mortified came upon
wildcat while driving home from
Spofford lake Monday afternoon. They
first saw the animal sitting in the road as
they drove around sharp turn from one
to two miles this side of the lake. Their
horse slowed down to a walk and the wild
cat crossed the road and climbed a fence
and at that distance walked along beside
the team for several rods. Mr.. Gilbert
then stopped the horse, and the wildcat
also stopped, turned squarely around and
faced the team. After brief "interview"
it was decided that it would be as well for
all concerned for the team to move on,
and the animal made no further effort to
keep in sight of it.
