for bounty of IS for the killing of "a
lynx or wildcat" When the bill was
under discussion Senator Rice Of Els
sex. who had habit of asking the
committees to explain some parts Of
bills they had reported. said he would
like to ask the committee who report
ed the bill whether the term lynx or
wildcat referred to two different spe-
cies of animals or whether 1t was the
same kind of animal called by different
names. Senator Rockwell Of Pittsheld.
who never let an opportunity to say q
good thing pass. arose and said. "In
the absence Of the chairman of the
committee who reported this bill l
would say for the information Of the
honorable senator from Essex, who.

that for years there has been a chain
Sf Wildcats roaming over the Berkshire
