Jim Hoxie Finds Two Kittens and Is

Panther Knob, w. Va.-Jim Hoxle,
one of the Oldest and best hunters in
the state, was on his way home from
Dixons Crossroads a few days ago
following the farther side of Panther
mountain. When he arrived at the
crossing of Peach run, small creek
which meanders down the mountain
about three miles from his home, he
noticed two little bobtailed kittens
playing in grassy opening on the
bank Jim decided to catch them and
take them home to his wife.
One he quickly caught and chucked
into his saddle bags. but not before
the kitten had bitten and scratched
his hands severely The other was
not so easily captured, but it was cor
nered at last and put away to keep
company with the first. BY this time
Jim's hands were scratched so badly
that he had to tie them up; 1t was get

The short hesitation of the cata-
mounts gave Hoxie time to look
around and select his battle ground
for he knew that he would have to
fight. He found big oak close by
and backed up against it. He didn't
have long to wait.

GIRL RIDES WITH DEAD LOVER
Discovers Corpse, Gets In Buggy with
Body and Drives AimIessIy.

Detroit, Mich.-Crazed at finding
her fiance, George OFT, sitting dead
in his buggy, quarter of mile from
the depot where he was to have met
her, Miss Rose Hogan was found driv-
ing aimlessly in the buggy beside the
corpse a short distance from the OFT
home at Indian Town. She is threat
ened with complete nervous col
lapse.
Miss Hogan had gone to visit her
sweetheart's parents. OFT had written
that he would meet her at the depot
with a carriage and drive her to his
parents home-several miles out
When she alighted at the station there
was no carriage in sight, and, after
waiting few minutes, the girl started
to walk in the direction Of the OFT
farm, hoping to meet him on the way.
Some distance down the road she
found the carriage motionless, the
horse quietly standing and the young
man sitting back in the seat with the
lines in his hands She called to him,
and receiving no answer, came close
to the buggy. Then she discovered
that he was dead and that blood had
streamed down his face from bullet
wound In his head.
The girl climbed into the buggy be-
side the dead man, took the lines and
started to drive to the OFT home with
the lifeless form. On the way the
situation temporarily unbalanced her
mind and when found by farmer
near her journeys end she was nearly
out of her mind.
