However, one bobbed up the ether day on the 18th Con., Proton, vrhich gave a biinch of sports a real interesting "encounter." It appears that G. McCannel, while walking along the 18th eariy Wed- nesday mormmr of last week noticed lying on the road ahead of him what he thought at first was a fox or coon. As he approached within some rods of it the animal leisurely got up and walked into the swamp at the side of the road. He htvried to Jack Raw's honse where there is always plenty of guns and ammunition ready for any sporting game. There was no time lost in phoning over to Wilfred Black and he soon came with gun and hound. Together with Jack and Ed. Haw, the party got ontop the track and hadn't to follow in the swamp lonjc till they came up with their game sitting quietly on the iManch of a tree about Un feet up. They weren't lonir in finding out that the animal waa a wildcat, for when it got a mova on farther ap the tree its action was said to be quick as "greased lightn- ing." To add to the excitement, Ed. Haw drew a bead on the game and brought it to the ground with a charge of shot. Then there was a dog and cat fight in which the dog was out- dasaed by the wounded cat. The eat got the charge of shot in the eyes and waa blinded, otherwise it waa very much alive and put up a great fight for its life. Every fellow had a crack at it with butt of gun or club, at the same time keeping out of range dC the sharp daws. The cat had to fin- ally give np the unequal struggle, under handicap of blindness. It was a long-tailed wildcat and mMaured three and a half feet, fat and in good condition. It is supposed to have been young, probably last sesson*s kitUn.â€" Dundalk Herald.

RAN PENCIL INTO CHEEK While Miss Ethel Daley was re- turning home on Tuesday c^ last week from her lessons in stenography St Miss Sinclair's residence, she slip- ped on the icy pavement and a sharp- pointed pencil carried in her hand entered her upper lip and penetrated the interior of the cheek in such a manner that it almost protruded near the right eye. As the lead on the pencil broke and was left embedded in the flesh, the wound later began to swell in such a manner as to necessi- tate a trip to the doctor's the follow- ing day, when much probing was re- quired to successfully remove the substance. Although now fully re- covered from the mishap, she had for a time a rather painful and serious time. â€" Walkerton Hearld-Times.
