grew so rapacious with hunger that
she devoured her litter Of kittens to
save herself from starvation.
The half eaten carcasses of her
young. which had been born in the
Prison, were found yesterday after
noon when she was released from the
attic by tearing off shingles and boards
from the roof. The big black cat was
so weak that she was unable to walk.
For several days the cat has been
missed by Mr.. Fuller's little daughters,
but until yesterday she could not Oe

yesterday by several children who
were playing around the house, but
they were unable toetell where she
was. The cellar was searched, but
nothing could DE found.
Then Mr.. Fuller and two or three
boys of the neighborhood climbed on
the roof and at once found that she
was in the attic. Shingles and boards
were torn off and an opening made.

Just twenty two days ago yesterday
the wall of q new building adjoining
Mr.. Fuller's residence was completed,
and the gap in the gable end Of his
residence. caused by tearing away par
Of the old wall, was also bricked up.
Mig had made the attic her home
while the new residence was being
built. and had often been seen goinS
in and out by the workmen. The walls
of the two buildings are adjoining, and
il was found necessary to remove some
of the brick in the old wall and open
the attic to put on the roof. As soon
as the work was completed the wall
was again bricked up and the attic
closed. There was no other way 10

il was undoubtedly before the hole Was
sealed up that Mig went into the attic
with her young and was walled in.

In the corner where she lay the
rafters were gnawed and scratched,
her claws were worn and broken and
her fur was pulled out in small tufts

The people living In the new resi-

after night. but did not think it was
in the attic They did not know that
the cat had been missing, and thought
it was proving around in the back
yard.
Mig was put to bed on cushion by
the little girls and given some milk to
drink. Last evening she was fed a
small piece of meat. The nourishment
seemed to strengthen her and each day
her meals will be increased She

Rustenburg, South Africa, Oct 10,
1926, and was therefore nearly seven
ty-nine years old at his death. His ia
Their was typical Boer farmer of
what was known as the 'Dopper," or
ultra conservative class, and but little
has even been published of the early
life Of the son. What education he
possessed he obtained in the elefnen-
tary schools of South Africa, and at no
time did he care to add to his learning
by reading.
From early youth Kruger was a
fighter. Re saw some of the bIoodiest
fighting that South Africa has ever
known while still boy, including bat
ties between the Beers and the Mata-
belle tribes under Maselikatse, father
Of the late Lobengula, as result Of
which the natives were driven across
the Limpopo river. In these fights
young Kruger won a reputation for
bravery and long headedness. While
still in his teens he became crack
shot. and his running powers were the
wonder of his companions.
In 1882 he was elected 10 the prasi-
dency OF the Boer republic and was
twice reelected. He administered af-
fairs with power almost absolute
and mainly with keen judgment and
foresight Up to the time Of tie last
BoeF war he held record of never
having committed a serious adEninis-
trative bIunder. It has always been an
open question whether his rule resulted
in good to the people or whether 1t eE-
taDiished in the Beers the desire to
hold all foreign settlers In subsection.
The young men Of the republic looked
upon him as their leader for life, and
even the uitlanders, who disliked him,
had to admire his character. He has
been called at various times "a saint, !"
"a hypocrite," IAN unselfish states
man. "a tricky politician "a pure pa
triot,'' ian unscrupulous denaagogue,"
"a devout Christian" IAN old hum
bug "a godly man" and "a tainted
bribe taker..

Mob After Res.ier murderers.

LANCASTER, Pa, July is. - John
O'Brien and Joseph Furman, alias
Day, who, it is alleged, murdered the
aged tollgate keeper. Samuel Ressler,
near Leanan Place, on the night Of
July i, after a sensational raid upon
the village of Gordonyille, arrived in
Lancaster at 1910 o'clock last night in
the custody Of Deputy Sheriff Zeigler
and Detective Berger. A crowd OF a
thousand or more people had gathered
at the Pennsylvania railroad station,
and there was remarkable popular
outburst when the prisoners were tax
en- from the train The crowd made
rush for the murderers. A squad of
policemen with drawn revolvers form
ed about them and dubbed their way
to waiting trolley car The crowd
attacked the car, pulling the trolley
pole from the overhead wire. Excite
ment was at high pitch, and 1t was
only after driving back the angry
crowd at pistol point that finally the
car was got under way.

Athletic Club Drank Lemonade and.
Smoked Clay Pipes.
The w. A. G. held very successful
smoker at their rooms last evening at
which nearly one hundred persons
were present. Lemonade was passed
among the guests and each one was
given clay pipe to smoke. The main
feature of the event was the wrest-
ling. in which several stars appeared.
The first bout was between Foley of
Waterbury and Babcock of WAterviile.
Mr. Myers was referee. The men
wrestled for twenty five minutes and
neither secured fall. After that they
gave a FIVE minute exhibition bout,
showing the different holds and how
to break them. The second bout was
between Sunstrum of Worcester,
Mass, and Sonberg of Waterbury.
Sunstrum to win should throw his OPP
ponent in twenty minutes. This he
did in eleven and one-haf minutes,
winning the bout The non-appearance
Of Lawson and Quinn made 1t necessary
to cancel the third bout. The last
event was between John MCGOWAN
and George Brown, the best two IN
three falls, for the championship of
the w. A. c.. After wrestling about
ten minutes Browns wind was ex-
hausted and he conceded the bout TO
MCGOWAN. Neither man had secured
a fall up to this time and the men
were apparently very. evenly matched.
"a three round sparring exhibition
closed the entertainment and all went
away thoroughly satisfied with the
courtesy of the w. A. @.

CHICAGO. July 16-The proposal
made by Michael j. Donnelly for the
strikers, in connection with arbitration
conference, contains the following de-
mands:
That all employees who struck shall
be employed in their old positions
within three days; that the packers

representative of the packers, another
Of the strikers, the two to select
third, the three arbitrators to be prac-
fical packing house men; that the
award in wages to be made by the ar
bitratoTs shall take effect from the
time Of the resumption of work, but
that the award shall not involve any

Postomce Graf

The astounding information is given
in the report of the auditor of the post
Office department that nearly $4O,OOO,-
GOO is paid the railroads for transport
ing the mails without any vouchers
showing the service rendered or the
weight carried or any details of the
transaction except that so much money
is due some corporation. Is it any
wonder that under such loose system
the amount paid the railroads constant
~ and largely increases? How much
graft there is in these secret transac.
tons between the postoffice and the
railroads has never been discovered,
but evidence has been produced IN
congress that tbe rental of the postal
