A Cat Story.
1t Is reported that our friend Neut
Otto who lives on the other side of
Salmon river, recently had an exciting
time with bob cat that had been in
the habit of dining regularly on the
choicest Inhabitants OF his henyard.
1t seems that Neut had literally GOV.
cred the premises with traps and had
sat up night after night with gun
but all In vain.
Last Sunday night however, the
dogs freed the ''critter" and Neut rush
ed into action with his old muzzle
loader and let fly with both barrels,
but the cat was still in the tree, so a

his trusty rifle and he then proceeded
/, to give an imitation of the battle Of
| Verdun. Mrs. Otto stood near by with
a lantern and after shooting an his
ammunition Neut took the light and
| went up to investigate and found the
cat had lost all its nine lives; but was
caught in a fork of the tree In such
manner that 1t could not fall If 1t
wanted to. Upon being taken to the
house it was found to weigh AZ pounds
some Of which was chicken, some bob
cat, and quite little of it lead. How
ever Neut can now enjoy full nights
rest without being called to the res
cue Of his henyard.
