FIERCE WILD CAT
KILLED BY HUNTER
Caught in Trap, Cat Screams
and Fights When Ap-
preached.

MILTON. Ind, Dec, S.-The first
wildcat believed to have been killed
in this part of the state in years, was
shot by Walter Wissler. son OF Henry
Wissler, of Liberty, and brother of
Lawrence Wissler. OF Milton
He wrote a letter to the correspond
ent here. telling of his exciting expe.
rience. II follows. in part:
Il am trapper, and this mOrnin2
while going TO my traps in the vicin
ity of where | live, seven miles south
of Liberty, | was startled on approach
ing a certain trap on Patrick Hunt 5
farm about ninety rods from my home
to hear wild scream At a nearer
approach l saw what | thought to b.
large house cat, but on more thor
ough examination found that it was
a genuine wildcat. 1t was caught b!
the right front foot and showed fight
but soon gave me an opportunity tC
shoot. | landed a bullet as squarely
between her eyes as if it had been
measured. Evidently it had eaten d
rabbit from the same trap the night
before. The cat measured three feet
seven inches from tip to tip"
Mr. Wissler lives on Rural Route
No, out of Liberty, and is well known
here, where he formerly lived with
his parents.
Last year several Milton hunters
were after a wildcat that had beer
southeast of here. They failed tC
find any trace of it.

in the United States and the deadly
germs claim more victims in cities
than in rural districts, due no doubt
to the increased number of indoor
workers in conhning quarters and
their lack of sunshine.
Tubercular germs always attack when
the system is weakened from colds or
sickness, overwork, overstraiu, conhning
duties or any drain which has reduced the
resistive forces of the body But nature
always provides a corrector and the best
physicians emphasize that during chang
ing climate our blood should be kept rich
and pure and active by taking Scott
Emulsion after meals; the cod liver oil in
SCOTS Emulsion warns the body by en-
riching the blood-it peculiarly strength
ems the lungs and upbuilds the resistive
forces of the body to avoid colds and
prevent consumption.
If you work indoors, tire easily, feel
languid or nervous, SCOTS Emulsion is
the most strengthening food-medicine
known; it builds energy and strength
and is totally free from alcohol or any
Supplying drug-every druggist has it.

COLQUITT PASSES ON BILLS

Governor.

Gov Colquitt finished his tack of
examining and passing upon new
laws last Friday night and lett Sat
urday for Colorado Springs to meet
with the convention of governors. He
used his blue pencil quite freely on
the bills and buried several acts Of
the special session. He ran "a big blue
line across the appropriation of S25,-
600 proposed for Comptroller Lanes
use of enforcing liquor laws.
The Governor found that the appro
priation bill carried $79i6,S3i the
first year and SG.06i,521 the second
year. His vetoes and certain credits
have reduced those amounts to SO,
SG2. 900 the first year and S5,009,OSS
the second year He estimates that
the deficit In the treasury to be tax
ed on the first years tax Is 100000
The 100000 appropriated each year
for the state Fire Insurance Commis-
sion will be deducted as II com is
from the Insurance companies ana
no, out OF general revenue. Tho com
panies. by assessments pay that into
the troasary. Among the yetoes Is
100000 for agricultural and man

$4,000 each year. lie leaves $780,
600 each year by permitting the en-
tire 100000 20 stand for the first
year
The vetocs In the first year amount
ed to S1,47A71O and In the second
year $1.954.6O5.
The Governor said he would have
reduced a number Of largo Items but
that the Attorney General ruled that
could not be done That prevented
several vetocs an1 also caused O. mum
ber Of whole amounts to be cut out
which would have been scaled.
After the vetoes the bin calls for a
total of $12.O2l.862 for both years.
