II is not very often that a man is held
a captive by a couple OF ordinary house
cats. but such was the case with Web
ster avenue man yesterday morning and
10 say that he was confined TO his house
under such circumstances makes him
mad, now when he even sees the poor
cat or kitten.
The mans wife was called away Sun
day night by the illness OF her mother
who lives at East Providence, and with
her went her 10-year-old son.
The good wife left her hubby Monday
mornings breakfast already for him, ana
told him that she would be home In time
for Mondays dinner. Sunday evening the
man OF the house spent the time with an
old friend and did not get home until
late or at least early Monday morning.
He had no sooner got into bed when
couple OF cats began a concert In the
next yard
In the next yard Is two tenement
house, but is vacant at the present time
and so is the tenement down stairs In the
house I'm which he resides. He stood the
concert as long as he could. and with a
cuss word, so II is presumed, went TO the
window and said scat! but this didn't
scat" the cats
He then went prowling about the house,
for something TO hurI at the concert
makers and by this time he thought that
he could hear the paw OF the cats striking
against the window Of his sleeping room
He could stand the strain no longer but
reached under the stove and pick
ed up an object let IT drive at the
cats but he didn't even jar them for the
object, as is most always the case on such
occasions, went wide OF the mark, hit
picket fence, and the next thing that he
heard was falling glass. This did not wor-
1 Ill. skl he
fact that the object had broken small
window in the kitchen in the next yard,
but IL drove the cats OF.
He arose at 5:45 on Monday morning
that being his usual time and IL was then
that he found that the object he had
hurled at the cats was nothing more or
less than his left shoe and as he had but
one pair. said that he would go back TO
bed again and wait until S:45, when his
little niece would call on her way to
school and he would get her TO call upon
the man who owned the house next door,
TO get the key so that he could get his
shoe. He woke up at $3.50, but heard no
school bells nor did they ring at O'Clock
and IL then dawned upon him that this
being a holiday week there was no school
so there would be no call from the niece.
The poor fellow had TO wait until his
wife came home which was at 1o:30 and
she succeeded in getting the shoe from
the house next door. When he went TO
work In the mill at noon time said that
he had been confined TO his home during
the forenoon by a severe headache and
none who knew the circumstances dou-
bled him In the least
