BELL CITY SHOWN
 TRAPPED WILDCAT
Animal Caught by Quinion and
 Norton Ny Co to Huiold
Especial to the ,Hsrsid)

Bristol, Feb. 1.-The wildcat cap. tursd in . box trap yesterday morn- ing by George H. Qstnion and Har- Ian B. Norton is on exhibition today In the display window of the Bris- tol Hardware Company on North Main street whsre 1t is attracting considerable attention. Contrary to the general opinion there is no stats law prohibiting the exhibition of wild animals except when they are used for advertising purposes or whore admission fees are charged.
 Bristol because Of the refusal of city officials to sanction the expense necessary to maintain . ROO at Rock we'll park had no public place where animals caught may be exhibited and for this reason it has been found necessary to use the store window in question.
 Three signs have been placed on the cage by Quinion and Norton and are directed to those who have doubted the presence of wildcats in this vicinity and who intimated that SAS oAoWh 0SoA Soo6 Al O yO0A d6O p$ the two hunters was tame one pro- cured from the proprietor of a gas station in 8 neighboring state. The signs bear the following Inscriptions, Who hes the collar We have the cst." Bring on your peanuts Whisviils" and This is not a zebra sigournsy but 1t has stripes" The party referred to in the last sign is Lester c. eigourney secretary of the New Departure Manufacturing Con- pany who asked Opinion some time ago to capture . wild zebra.
 Just what disposition will be made of the cat is not known. although MT. Quinion said this morning 1t would be turned over to the park authorities of Hartford in the event they desire the animal.
 A Chinaman whose name was not learned approached MT. Quinion yes- terday and offered to buy the feline but hts offer was turned down.

HOPE NOW WANING
 FOR TRAPPED MEN
Little Chance for A Caught in
 Canadian Mine

Timmins. Ont. Feb. II R-As the cage in shaft number II of the burning Hollinger gold mine made its fruitless trips up and down the smoke-laden entry way. hope faded today for the A4 men believed trap ped on lower levels.
 Keep Lonely Vigil
 Through the night the wives and children of the entrapped miners kept vigil at the minehead weeping and praying. but the return of the empty car dimmed their hopes. The car was run on the chance that some of the men might win their way to the shaft and survive the trip past the burning $50 foot level.
 Five bodies had been recovered. Only two were identified. Death had been caused by suffocation from smoke and carbon monoxide gas.
 Check Is Incomplete
 4 possibility that some of the A men missing had made their way safely to the top unreported. could not be definitely determined until g thorough check of the miners could be made today.
 Between 800 and 900 men made their way safely out of the mine yes- terday. Lack of gas masks and oxy- gen tanks hampered the work of rescuers, early rescue attempts al- most resulting fatally for c. B. Will Hams, general superintendent of the mine, who was overcome by smoke while attempting to reach the lower levels of the mine.
 Smoke and Fumes
 Smoke and fumes had penetrated as far as the 1900 foot level, when rescue attempts had to be discon- tinued. Communication was impos- sible because of the depth at which the men were caught.
 It was feared the fire might burn for several days before it could be brought under control.
 There were conflicting reports of the source of the fire. The most authentic being that it had started in pile of rubbish on the $50 foot level.
 Work was ordered suspended In the Mcintyre mine which adjoins the Hollinger shafts and the miners or dered to the surface.
