has been careful To say that he has not
pretended tn discuss the details or for

that the country at large will do II for

STIRRED UP THE TOWN.
Wild Cat Causes Much Excitement ct
St. Peter.

st. Peter. Jan. 24.-This town is
crowding Duluth for wild animal hon
ors. Early last evening a full grown
wild cat was shot and killed well inside
the city limits. 1t was brought down
by Patrick Martin, who lives i'll the out
skirts of St. Peter, and his experience
was somewhat exciting Several times
of late he has missed chickens and other
poultry and last evening when a great
commotion arose in his barnyard, he ran
out to learn the cause of the trouble.
As he entered the chickenhouse he
saw large animal stink away into a
remote corner. While still on the thresh.
hold, the beast sprang at him out of the
darkness, but his quickness enabled him
to slam the door and make a prisoner
of the cat. Returning to his dwelling
he selected a shell charged with heavy
shot and dispatched the catamount,
which was found to measure seven feet
and eight inches from the top of its
head to the tip of its tail.
The occurrence is most remarkable, as
there is no record of lynx having been
seen in southern Minnesota for a dozen
years or more.

Mrs. w. j. Elliott Called to Her Last
Rest This Morning.

FROM Wednesdays Daily.
Mrs. w. ]. Elliott died at seven o'clock
this morning, after a very brief illness.
She and her family moved to the city
two or three months ago, taking apart
ments in the Macbeth house at the cor

she was beyond recovery, but she sur
vived longer than they expected.
The deceased was thirty-five years of
age, and leaves her husband and one
child. Mr.. Elliott is engineer at the Man

plant. Mrs. Elliott had many friends
who will regret her death, and the sym
pathy of all win be extended to the
stricken family.
