hen house and found some kind of
an animal killing the hens. Mr..
Stevens being absent, she called up

and found the wild cat busy and
eager to make his acquaintance. He
made a hasty exit and took a shot at
the cat through the door. On en-

the animal and thought it had es-
capped and went around the barn to
get another shot. While he was
gone a lad arrived and thought he
would investigate so entered the hen
house, where he found the wild cat
ready to get at him. The lad made
safe getaway and Mr.. Farr re-
turned and killed the cat with an.
other shot.
The wild cat killed seven hens and
injured several others. The severe
cold weather has made it difficult for
