TRAP WILD CAT;
NOT JOBBERWOCK
Zoo Cage Now Contains Animal
That Scared Some North
Side Residents

Residents beyond Washington street
bridge, particularly in the neiehborhood
of Samuel n. Baynard's residence at
Eighteenth and Washington streets,
need have no further fear Of the STRANGE
animal which has been making his home
under a summer house on the lawn
which surrounds Mr. Bavnard's home.
The owner Of the place had heard Of
the animal from several of his neighbors
and he decided TO set a trap tor it. In
the cellar of his home he found a rabbit
gum trap such as are used in the conn
try TO trap rabbits and early last even
ing he filed it with vegetables and meat
and other food and placed il near the
summer house. The stranger. a wild
cat, was in the trap this morning.
The cat is fully thirds grown and
how il came to be in these parts is a
mystery. II was 80 large that il filed
the rabbit trap and when Mr.. Bsynard
came near to make a close inspection
the animal showed the characteristics OF
its species by acting savagely. Mr.
Baynard says the fellow 'is an ugly
customer"
Mr.. Bsynard is interested in the Ere
Zoo and the newly acquired animal wa
added to the collection there today, oc
cupying a cage all to itself.
