ATTACKED BY NEGRO.-A series OF
mysterious threats to burn the home OF
w. II. Boyd, contractor residing in
Birmingham, Ala, eliminated yester-
day in an attack on Boyd's wife by an
unknown negro. On Wednesday Boyd
received an anonymous letter warming
him that his house would be burned. In
the afternoon an unknown negro met
him and handed him another letter con-
tanning a similar threat. After deliver
ing the letter the negro fled. Later a
telephone message from unknown par
ties conveyed similar threats. While
at supper Wednesday night Boyd and
his wife discovered that the house was on
fire but with the aid of the neighbors
the flames were quickly extinguished.
Yesterday an unknown negro was seen
lurking around the Boyd house. Ap-.
prebending danger, Mrs. Boyd procured
a pistol and fred at him. Missing him,
she held her weapon on him and at
tempted at the same time to telephone
to her husband. While at the telephone
the negro snatched the revolver from
her hand, felled her to the floor with
the butt of the weapon and fled. Mrs.
Boyd Is severely wounded. The police
believe that these outrages we're insti-
gated by some discharged employe OF
other person, who had grudge against
Boyd. No arrests have yet been made.

BATTLE WITH CATS. William Bar
rett. of Bloomfield, n. j., had fierce
battle yesterday with three savage cats
in the cellar of Frederick Cranes house.
They had attacked women and children
until the residents held meeting and
decided to have them killed. Barrett
was sent for and engaged to do the ex-
termination. He went into the cellar
armed with pistol and club, and after
closing the windows, so that the cats
could not get out, started to Hi them.
He saw three pairs of fiery eyes glariug
at him from behind barrel. The cats
were biting and growing, but Barrett
raised his club and aimed a blow at one $
head. He missed, and then the three
animals splaug at him, one landing upon
his shoulder while the others clawed
savagely at his breast He tried to
shake them OFF but could not. Finally
he seized the one on his shoulder by the
throat. As he drew it toward him it
clawed him across the face in i.1ghtiul
manner. Barrettthrew it to the ground,
placed his foot on it and then killed it
with his club. In the meantime the
other cats made things lively for Barrett,
tearing his clothing in shreds and
lacerating his flesh in several places.
Barrett had fought for over half an hour
before he killed the second with his re-
volver. The third cat fought more des-
perately than had the others, and before
he could land a blow on its head 1t
seized him by the throat with its teeth
while it clawed his breast. 1t was with
difficulty he dislodged and killed it.

PNEUMONIA CONTAGIOUS A?
We wonder if The fact that patient

We wonder if the fact that patients
and their friends ignore the contagious
ness of pneumonia is of.en due to pro-
fessional negligence. An exaggerated
conception of the contag oftuber-
culosis is held by the lay world, but
pneumonia is, of course, far more con-
tagious. And patients and profession
alike have not realized the new fact that
the mortality ofpenumonia is in some
cities and parts of the country higher
than that atoftuberculosis. DR.. Reynolds,
of Chicago, returns 70 this lesson ana
emphasizes the necessity Ofthe following
measures:
Pneumonia is a nightly contagious
disease, the cause of which is micro
organism in the sputa of those suffering
from the malady, and contracted by in
haling this germ Therefore, the same
care should be taken to collect and destroy
the sputa that is taken in pulmonary
tuberculosis or in diphtheria or influenza.
During the illness the greatest pains
should be taken to prevent soiling bed
clothes, carpets or furniture with
the sputa, and after the illness the
patients room should be thoroughly
cleansed and ventilated. The fact
that the disease is most prevalent in
the winter season, when people are
most crowded together and live much OF
the time in badly ventilated apart
ments, makes obvious the necessity OF
thorough ventilation of houses, offices,
factories, theatres, churches, passenger
cars and other public places, in order
that the air which must be breathed
may be kept clean aud free from infec-
tious matter.
Laymen should be taught not to be
afraid of a patient who has pneumonia,
influenza or tuberculosis, but to be
afraid of lack of cleanliness about him
during his illness, OF failure to enforce
prophylactic measures and OF close,
badly ventilated apartments during the
season when these diseases most prevail.
Since pneumonia is most fatal at the
extremes of liie-the young and the
aged--special care should be taken to
guard children and old persons against
exposure to the infection of those al
ready suffering with the disease and
against cold privation and exposure to
the weather, which are potent prec s.
posing causes i American Medicine.
