II years old, and Robert. years. Martha
was scratched several times on the face
and also received bad cut on the arm.
The boy was not so badly hurt, although he
got scratched few times.
Mrs. Follis thinks that the cat was mad,
BECAUSE she says it had shown symptoms
OF madness for two days. The cat was
killed by policeman, who beat it to death
with a club, after all the tenants in the house
had been scared and he cat locked in a
room.
The cat had been a member OF the Follis
household for about two years and no one
had ever noticed anything vicious about
it until Friday morning Robert was play
ing with the cat then and il made a half
spring for him. The boy was frightened
and ran away and Mrs. Follis drove the cat
into another room
Yesterday morning Mr.. Follis went to
see the parade, leaving Mrs. Follis, her
fve-mont hs.old baby and the other two
children in their rooms on the top floor,

to get something for her mother. The
girl noticed that there was a glare in the
cats eyes and that 1t was frothing at the

The girl threw the cat Off. but it came back
again. this time getting a grip on the girls

the arm from the shoulder almost to the
wrist.
Little Robert came running into the room
then and the cat attacked the boy. In
trying to get out of the way the boy los,

struck him on the side of the face and
clawed II enough to bring blood.
Mrs. Foiii-, who was in the front part Of
the fiat, ran in when she heard the children
screaming. Martha ran into the hall and
Mrs. Follis, who carried the baby in her
arms, grabbed Robert and carried him into
the hall. She left the children with a neigh
Dor and then went back to her rooms to find
parlor and was tearing around the room.
Nrs. Follis closed the door 80 that the cat
couldn't escape. and then went out for q
policeman. She found Policeman Greeni-
son on the corner, and he went back with her.
Everybody in the house had heard the
children screaming. and when Greenison
got To IN" top floor the hall was crowded
with tenants
Greenison says the cat was making circles
when he opened the paror door. 1t
was frothing at the mouth, and in one
OF its trips around the room had got tangled
up with a table cover and upset a lamp
Greenison chased the cat into a corner
and beat it on the head with his billy until

vicious, but probably not mad

ANNOUNCEMENT.


To the Electors of, the Tenth
judicial Circuit-State of Wis.
The time is fast approaching
when you will be called upon to
elect a Judge for this Circuit, and
/ have received numerous in
quiries as to whether or not I in
tend to be a candidate, and many
requests, from all parts of the
Circuit that [ should stand for
reelection. Having carefully
considered the matter and being
satisfied from all the information
obtainable, that there is q gener-
al desire on the part of the peo-
lie for my continuance in the po-
sition, and, moreover, my circum-
stances being such that | shall
be glad to serve for another term,
l hereby announce myself as a
non-partisan candidate for re-
election to the Office of Judge of
the Tenth Judicial Circuit at the
coming spring election.
1t would be idle for me to at
tempt to make any new promises
for the future. My record of SER
vice for the past eleven years is
known to you, and is foe you to
say whether my conduct during
that time has not been such as to
merit a continuance of your sup
port. All that I can say is that,
if elected, shall continue to do
in the future thai which | have
done during the past eleven years,
viz: studiously refrain from all
participation in, or connection
with political affairs, and with
whatever ability and energy [
possess, faithfully endeaver to
discharge the important and
sometimes difficult duties devolv-
ing upon me as Judge, without
fear, without favor, aad without
prejudice.
This is the platform upon
which l stand and confidently ap-
peal to the people of the Tenth
Circuit for a continuance of the
generous support they have here
tofore given me, and for which,
whatever may happen in the fu-
ture, | shall ever feel the deep
est gratitude.
In due time nomination papers
viii be prepared and an oppor-
tunity afforded you for signing
the same. Yours truly,
JOHN GooDLAND.
