One Of the minor casualties of Sat-
urday afternoon was the running
over cat on Water street above
Winsate's by a passing automobile
Apparently the poor animal had ex-
hausted eight of her nine lives al
ready, so that this last blow of un 1.
kind fate was the end, for she was
so badly injured that ahe had to be
put out Of her misery by an officer
Those who heard of the accident for
a moment feared thdt the victim
might be the famous Water Street
black cat, but that feline is still en-
joying life and playing tricks that
endear her to the merchants and
passers- by.
