but II is certain that it is something
of the rat family which was trapped
in the basement of the Bolster build
ing on Depot square, underneath the
stores of Calder & Richardson and
Alexander & Co, granite supply firm.
| For several weeks snares contriyed by
three young men employed in this
building have proved useless in snar-
ing this cold timer" so they hit upon
the minnow trap scheme which hap
pened to be in the store and which
was utilized successfully. The rat
measured 10 inches from the tip of his
nose to the tip of his tail and balanced
the scales at four pounds and six
ounces.
