hand was not down from the jet be-
fore the cat sprang from corner and
struck his arm. AS he beat her on
she bit his left wrist and her claws
made furrows on his hand.
The cat renewed the attack. She
landed on his knee and he struck her
with his club. knocking her across the
room.
SEEKING her by the tail. he hurled
her against the far wall De Witt
then threw chair at the animal. She
crawled out of the wreckage and was
making another leap, when De Witt
hurled another chair In fifteen min
utes the only article of furniture he
had not thrown was the center table.
and upon the cats next lunge he up
set this upon her. But her nine lives
served her In good stead and she was
back in the fight in a second.
The policeman wrapped the table
cover about his arm and used strate-
gy. He awaited the next spring and
let the animal fasten her teeth into
the covering on his arm. AS she hung
there he shot her five times.
