Col. Doherty Aroused BY
Felines' Wrangle at Mid
night Hour
POTS, PANS, EGGS,
JAM ARE SCRAMBLED

After bolting and barring his win
dows and doors against a possible visit
by burglars, last night Col Simon p.
Doherty, Of No. 1903 West Third St.,
retired about 10 o'clock and was soon
dreaming OF his military days.
Shortly after midnight the colonel
was aroused from MS peaceful slum-
bers by a crash Of glassware In the
cellar. Without waiting to dress. the
colonel grabbed his gun and hurrledly
descended the stairs TO give battle to
the intruders. Arriving in the cellar
at first he was unable to see the cause
OF the disturbance, but turning on the
electric Light he found two cats in a
marathon about the cellar. The pur-
suer and pursued stopped not for pots
nor pans. eggs, etc, which were
scrambled on the cellar floor In the mad
plight OF the cats.
Finally Col Doherty opened a win
dow and the cats continued their con-
test outside. leaving the colonel to
clean up the wreckage.
The family cat. it appears. had car
rled some new kittens to the cellar,
and the disturbance was probably
started by her anxiety to protect her
offspring when strange cat visited
the cellar.
