FAMOUS CAT CASE SETTLED.
Lawsuit Caused by Staying Of kitty
Withdrawn from Court.

Chrisney, Ind.-The famous "ca'
case" Of the town of Chrisney against
David Axton has come to close. This
close Is the withdrawal Of the appeal
by the town of Chrisney, which was
taken to the circuit court from Justice
Sandage's court at Gentryville. Az
different times there have been seven
attorneys employed and, exclusive OF
their fees, the costs have amounted
to more than $50. And, 1t was all
over a cat.
Some weeks ago Axton was annoyed
by tomcat, which sat on the back
fence at his home and made the night
hideous. The cat had also pounced
on some of the chickens owned by AK
ton and carried them away. Axton re
solved to do away with the cat.
He got shotgun and one night
blew out the brains of poor kitty" He
was arrested for violating the town or.
dinance of shooting within the cor
porate limits, but at q trial In Justice
Sandage's court at Gentryville he was
found not guilty. On the advice oil
the attorneys for the town OF Chris
ney the town board decided to appeal
the case to the Spencer district court
which was done a few days ago. Now
the attorneys have asked the with
drawal of the appeal.

cows HAVE STOMACH ACHE.
Cattle Eat Green Apples and MIX
Famine Results.

New Haven, Conn.--William
Hunter, milkman at Naugatuck, sent
word to his customers the other day
that he could not furnish them with
milk as usual, because his herd OF
COWS had stomach ache. A milk fam
inc in the town resulted, and hurry
calls were sent to this city for milk
to supply the babies and children.
Hunter has a fine herd of 40 cows,
and usually they are we'll behaved,
but some of the frisky leaped the
pasture fence into an apple orchard
on Mr. Hunters farm, began feastine
on the windfall apples, and soon were
suffering from pain under their belts
The remainder of the herd, unable
to withstand the temptation, tore
down the fence, and not only cleaned
the ground of fallen apples, but ate
all in reach on the trees as well.
When Mr.. Hunter went out to drive
them to the stable all were in sad
state because of too much apple juice
AS a result, the milk was unfit for
use, and Mr. Hunter says ut may
be several days before he can resume
business"

say what we think-the women es-

Prince Wasp, will run away and wed

do better than either!" she said in
her heart, nodding determinedly, as
she looked at the handsome youth be-
fore her. who now stood with his
downcast eyes upon the ground.
They were almost out of the yew-
tree walk, and the voice of the prin-
cess carried far, like that of most very
impulsive persons. 1t reached the
ears of gay young fashionable, who
had just dismounted at the gate
the wing Of the palace inhabited by
the Princess Margaret and her suite.
"Now," said the princess. II will
show you how apt pupil make. Tell
me whether this is according to the
best traditions of Plassenburg!" And
taking his face between her hands,
she kissed him rapidly upon either
cheek and then upon the lips.
"There!" she said, 81 wonder what
my noble brothers would say to that!

CORTLAND can choose both whom she
twill kiss and whom she will marry!"
And flashing away from him like a
strong-winged bird she fled upward
into her chambers. Then, somewhat
dazed by the rapid succession of emo
tons, Johann the secretary stepped
out of the green gloom Of the yew
tree walk into the broad glare of the
September sun and found himself
