The string holds - pound wildcat. captured Satur- day afternoon by George Quinion and his fellow huntsmen. who were laughed at by local skeptics when a wildcat which they hunted recent ly tunneled it's way through many yards Of South Burlington rock and earth 10 escape its pursuers.

Pain failed to stop a ferocious eX- hibit Of spitting and clawing, and the hunters had to be cautious when they tried 10 dispatch their prey. With the ferocious scowl still on his hewhiskcred face. the dead wild cat balanced the police department scales at 27 pounds. The hunters said that the dead fellow was not as large as their original quarry. but still he would be a bad customer 10 meet on a dark night.
 While they admit that their re- cent catch is not the same animal that caused them many weary hours of pick and shovel duty. the hunters stated that he substantiated their report that wildcats do roam in south Burlington.

But traps still remain in that section in hope that the largest member of the local wildcat family will forget his caution and stray abroad some inc day.
