YOUNG MACON

Shooting Occurred in His

Macon, Ga, Nov 27-Ferd. Gut
tenberger, prominent in Macon and
this section of Georgia, was mistaken
for a burglar and shot in the rear of
his own home here last night by NAL
larry Beddingfeld, a next-door neigh
Dor, also prominent socially and ~
business circles. Guttenberger, while
seriously injured, has good chance
o, recovery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Guttenberger reached
home in their automobile about hait
past ten and drove the machine
through their back yard to small
garage in the rear. They were an
their way to the house when the shCts
wire fired by Beddingfeld, who be-
lleved the two to be pals of clicFen
thieves who had recently been oper:tt-
ing in the neighborhood of Napier
Heights. AS soon as the mistake w S

'Here!" said Denkins severely,
"You go back in there and stay!"
Then Denkins learned something.
The cover to a wash boiler is an in
flexible object and raising it enough
to get his arm out meant raising ali
one side of it. That afforded room
for six cats to slip out If necessary.
He let his arm hang inside as he
meditated upon the situation and the
cat scuff1ed about Indignantly. Final
ly it planted its claws in Denkins'
bare wrist. DenkiHs yelled and jerked
out his arm. The cat came, too, and
made a gray streak through the at
mosphere.
For two weeks after that whenever
Denkins appeared the cat at once
arose and with obvious dislike left
the room. The speed with which it
left depended in some degrees upon
the speed with which Denkins pur-
sued. Usually the chase ended in the
cats leaping to the top of the furnace.

its green eyes shone maliciously as it

He could think of nothing else ex-

the cat curled up in ball asleep in
the very last chair he gasped with
the suddenness of the thought that
came to him.
''Kitty." he said, st strikes me that
you would just about fit into pail
I'll see"
Tiptoeing to the kitchen, he got
pail and the sponge and chloroform
and with the sponge inside the pail
he clapped it down over the cat and
sat upon it. 1t was not pleasant
performance, but Denkins was a des-
perate man. Finally he arose and re-
moving the pail, surveyed his work.
Aha" said Denkins, with much
satisfaction. He removed the remains
to the back yard, deposited them in
box, dug a hole and hastily buried
the cat. Then in celebration of his
victory he took Mrs. Denkins to the
theater.
Scarcely had they retired that night
when Mrs. Denkins shrieked Look"
she cried, in a strangled voice.
There on the window sill sat the
cat gazing in reproachfully.
"p-d-do cats have gh-gh-ghosts?"
shivered Mrs. Denkins, clutching her
husband.
