had been seen in the neighborhood.
Upon approaching the spot where the
trap had been placed Mr.. Bowman
was amazed that instead of trapping
the mink he had caught a large wild
cat, the jaws of the trap having be-
come closed on the left front paw of
the cat, which, nevertheless, held it
securely until Mr.. Bowman secured a
gun and dispatched it. The cat was
rather larger than the average.
