of an attack made upon him by jelly

Newark street with his foot on ice. He
smiled as the reporters called to inquire
as to his condition.
1T was only a jellyfish," he said,
laughing, "but the joke of it is that /

when my foot began to swell. | consult
ed a physician at once and he informed
me that had evidently been attacked
by a jellyfish."
The Mayor spent several days on the
Shrewsbury fishing and swimming. He
returned Saturday night. Yesterday he
attended the Gustav Bach Association
outing to College Point. When he reach-
ed home he was so lame he could scarcely
walk. He expects to be able to get

Tom quickly awoke to the fact that he

made mighty effort to free himself.
But through the open door and into
the air struggled the fighting pair, Tom
trying to throttle the cat and the beast

Suddenly Carter stepped upon some
rotten boards that covered an old dry
well, and in a twinkling man and cat
plunged to the bottom, but luckily with
Carter ON top.
For moment he was dazed. Then he
attempted to change his position and the
cat arose and savagely renewed the
struggle.
Realizing that it was a case of kill
or get killed, Carter. after hard strug-
gle, succeeded in detaching a brick from
the side of the well. With terrific force
he brought it down on the eats head

An hour later passing party of quar-
rymen heard Carter's yells. They found
a rope and easily pulled him out. They
carried him to a farmhouse. where he
received surgical attention, for he was
badly bitten, and the Wildcats claws cut
his flesh as if it had been done with a
