FAKE CALL BRINGS Army
OF CATS UPON POLICE
Brooklyn Boys Are Victims of
Practical Joke.
Reward Of Five Cents for
EACH LIVE CAT
Brought 20 Brooklyn
Police Headquarters Monday.

In some mysterious manner this bull
letin got posted at a prominent corner
in the Columbia Heights section Of
Brooklyn yesterday, and as a result
scores of kind old spinsters are this
morning tearfully waiting for familiar
news and scratches that have not been
heard since yesterday noon.
News of the reward" spread like
wildfrc among that portion of the
Heights population which Is still writ
ing its age in one figure. By noon II
was apparent that something extraordi-
nary was taking place. Breathless
Youngsters dashed headlong around
corners. leaped over walls and into prl-
vate back yards and seemed everywhere
in constant motion. Toward l o'clock
nearly every boy Of the neighborhood
was carrying a shoe box, from which
came strange sounds, or was attempt
ing 10 conceal some small struggling
form in his blouse waist.
At . o'clock a little army descended
on Headquarters. Each trooper rushed
forward to present anywhere from one
70 a half dozen cats 70 the lieutenant
in charge and to demand the reward.
When Captain Barnes assured them
IL was all mistake, most OF the army
turned loose their captives.
Patrolmen going and coming from
Ueadouarters last night were constant
lv stumbling over black, white and gray
writhing forms.
