CAT, COW, MULE DIE
SUDDENLY ON FARM
Remarkable Casualties Among
Quadrupeds on w. C. Max
well Place.

The sudden demise of a playful lit
tie kitten in happy family circle
doesn't throw much of shadow ov-
er the Joy Of living; but when it is
Immediately followed by similar
deaths of big and valuable animals
like mule or COW the aforesaid
family naturally begins to sit up and
take notice that the unusual at least
lis coming close>to them.
Last Sunday the little member Of
the carnivorous feline tribe, preced-
ed DR.. Victor Maxwell down the
stairway into the living room at the
w. c. Maxwell home. LoI when the
young physician reached the room a
bout three minutes later the cat lay
dead as any mouse 1t had been its
erstwhile joy to victimize!
The curtain fell softly over the va
cant place at the warm freside and
the next day dawned as tho all the
cats in the world were still chas-
ing mice or purring for sympathy.
Out in the open that morning
Monday-went fifteen fine milch
cows to pasture southeast Of the
home. In little while a valuable
COW, who had given no warming by
kick of foot or swish of tail she
would never fill the big milk pail a.
gain, dropped dead-as suddenly as
possible.
In the afternoon negro boy left
the shadowed ireside and barnyard
with two pair of big gray mules to
transport the dead bovine to final
resting place-and succeeded with
no trouble nor premonition that the
spirit of death was pursuing mule or
niger, when, 10! the latter began to
note the unusual jog of the animal
he was astride, dismounted-and in
thirty minutes after the COW was re-
legated to the bone-yard where all
good cows go, the big mule lay prone
upon the earth-as dead as cow or
catl
The owner had paid $400 for the
mule about two years ago SO that the
death of the last-named victim was
felt the most deeply.
This is a really truly story and not
fairy tale. Truth is often stranger
than fiction.
The cause OF the three deaths on
the Maxwell farm is inexplicable
The cat. the COW and the mule were
in no way related and all were fed
different diet.
