Wild House Cats and Cows
Send Farmers Gunnin1

M RG l. EGIIE, Mich Nlld. COWS
and wild house-catS are proving to
be troublesome trampS in Bafaga
county this winter. Residents of the
county have had to shoot cats in past
years, but that is the first autumn
that men went cunning for cows.
small heard OF cattle escaped
from the county infrmary last
summer. The cows made their way
into the woods and decided to be-
come wild. After they smashed
fences and damaged other property,
property owners in that district also
became wild. 1t was decided to
shoot the miscreants.
Keeper Zidman. of the infirmary,
led a party into the woods and after
two hours search located the COWS.
The bovines fled at the approach of
the hunters. but not being endowed
with the agility of gazeles. the
animals did not make satisfactory
progress. When the hunt was over
the bag totalled three dead COWS.
Many of the Wild cats in this dis
trict are said to have been brought
to lumber camps to reduce the rat
supply. When the camps were closed
the tame cats were forced to shift
for themselves. Hunters and guild IS
living in this region declare that the
offspring of these cats can seldom
be tanned.

patient and comment on the proba-
bility of death. However, they have
a great horror of handling corpse

clothe the victim before he does die.
