 Wild Cat White Hills.
 For the past few weeks there has been considerable excitement among the residents of White Hills, owing to the fact that a large wild cat has been roaming about that section. The cat has been seen by quite a number of people. Poultry killed and partially eaten have been found about a num- Der of yards, and some of the pet cats of that section have met with an untimely end. The last time the cat was seen was some days ago, when Miss Susie Beardsley saw the animal being chased by strange dog, the latter seeming to be too strong for the cat. That there has been fierce fight before the cat turned and ran was evidenced by the appearance of the ground, and when last seen the cat was we'll ahead of the dog, but apparently growing weak. Whether the dog managed to overtake and kill the cat, is not known.
