CAT RESCUE. D. A. Mcleod and Charles
B. Eaton worked about four hours last Monday
afternoon to rescue cat-one of the homeless
Walt Mason variety of Toms-from partition
between the old and new parts of the Eaton
house. The covering on one side of the fire stops
near the soil pipe in the cellar had been left off
j and the cat had crawled in, going up that side
and came down the other only to find himself
prisoner. Mrs. E. A. Wadsworth heard the cat
crying the Wednesday before but could not
locate him. Both families were annoyed by
the cries until Mr.. Mcleod began the search
by removing the wainscoting from the bath
room. Not finding him there he put a stop
board over the opening to prevent the cat
from crawling above the second floor and made
another opening in the Eaton kitchen, when
! Tom was found between the kitchen and the
Wadsworth front hall. He seemed grateful
for his deliverance from his cramped quarters
and enforced fasting.
