 There was big killing over east of South Killingly Monday morning. Alden A. Tillinghast and Byron Jordan shot a genuine bob-tailed North American wildcat which weighed 22 1-2 pounds, and it was very thin at that. Tilling- hast and Jordan have been hunting foxes and one day last week, after a hard chase, they believed they ran one of those animals into a ledge. To in sure getting him when he came out. visited the place and found the trap had been sprung, so they reset it. Monday they went over for another inspection, and there was something doing. Only part of the chain on the anchored tra~ was visible, the remain der being drawn taut and into the ledge. An Investigating stick pushed up into the rocky crevfce was imme diately seized by some animal with a well developed grip and the snarlin g and splitting that followed appraised the hunters that it was no fox that had become mixed up in their trap. All efforts to pull the animal out failing, a guesswork shot with a revolver brought about the desired result, as the wildcat tumb1ed out. It was a fe- male and had been caught in the trap by forward paw, probably while try ing to get out of the rocks.
 The killing of the animal explains the unearthly screeching that residents in that section have been hearing all winter and may also set at rest the stories of leopards, wolves and jaguars being seen in that vicinity during the past year.

Goat Raising in Missouri.

Adair county is one of the big goat producing counties of Missouri. The goats are not raised for mutton alone but also for the purpose of clearing up underbrush. They will go through a thiclxet like rifle bullet and eat if to the ground, peehng saplings and stumps so that they will never sprout again. The goats get as fat as but ter balls on such forage. Then they are shipped to market and sold to city folk for the choicest mutton.
 Blinford ranch. the largest stock farm in this county. has produced as many 800 goats in one year, which were shipped to market after the shrubs were cleaned off the pastures. Several other ranches in the county have produced nearly as many goats Kansas City Star.

5000 TONS OF ICE
Already Harvested by Ansonia- Derby
 Company from QuilIinan's.

About eight thousand tons of ice has been cut on Quilhnan's reservoir by the Ansonia Ice company. The ice varies in thickness from twelve to sev- enteen inches and is of much better quality than has usually been harvest ed here. There is very little snow ice fin the lot, this being planed off before cutting was commenced. There is still plenty of ice on the reservoir, but this has softened considerably the past few days, and 1t will take another cold spell to make it ready for cutting.
