Mr. A. B. Day, the old hunter and pioneer of the town of Levis, got out of lead on Thanksgiving night, and by the light of a lamp, killed with a club a large wild cat which was having a savage discussion with his dog in regard to some chickens belonging to Mr. Day. Those bob tailed felines are said to be quite numerous this fall, and make frequent raids upon the chicken roosts of the farmers.
