DOGGED BY BLACKBIRDS,

Prize Tabby Owned by New Jersey
Man Punges from Third Story
Window to Death

ELIZABETH, N. J., Sept. 20
at every step by blackbirds
bent on vengeance, Selma II, a prize
tabby owned by John Bender of Lor-
raine, N. j., plunged from third story
window and crushed her life out or
the pavement.
About two weeks ago Selma II
caught a blackbird on the front lawn
OF the Vender residence. She ate it,
Ever since then a flock of the bird s
companions have been following the
cat about. They went so far as to
come on the porch when Selma II was
being petted by one of the Benders.
Soon the cat began to show signs OF
fear. For the past three days she has
refused to leave the house. This morn
ing she was enjoying sunbath on the
sill of the third story window. Sud
denly the blackbirds swooped down
chirping shrilly. Selma decided she
had about enough and the little black
bird was avenged.
