 Maurice Mccarthy has disposed of his wild cat and appeared to be tfckled at the idea of getting it out of his l place. It seemed to have a grudge l against Mccarthy, who captured it at l all- nn,1n1n 0f and al. though he has used it well ever since, still it showed no signs of becoming reconciled to it's new quarters and l spent most of it's time making frantic | efforts to get q claw at it's captor. He sold it to New York woman at the pet show held here recently in the rooms of the Boys club. but after the i lady saw how it acted when she tried , to make friends with it, she decided that it would never be q very desirable pet and left it at the institution. When the original owner heard this he didn't like it and wants to buy 1t back now for the purpose of putting it out of the way. He considered himself safe from it in case it should be taken to New York, but he is afraid that if it should break loose here it might find him out and kill him. A Norfolk farmer was in town yesterday and re- ported that another wild cat is doing considerable damage in that town and the people are alarmed lest it should take to feeding upon human flesh. He represented it as weighing at least 125 pounds, and stated that the last depre- dation it committed was the killing of a calf of one of his neighbors. It is supposed that this is the same mon ster that devoured handsome hound a year or so ago belonging to James Healey of Baldwin street. and did the job so quickly that the dog had time to emit but one piteous yell. Since that time Waterbury huntsmen who have valuable canines give Norfolk a wide berth.
