The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, May 20, 1909 Rev. E.R. BENNETT and CLEVELAND OTTO were fishing on the banks of Whitebreast recently and on returning home they met what they supposed to be a wild cat. MR. BENNETT threw a rock at the ferocious little animal killing it instantly, but the rock hit a tree and bounded back, striking MR. BENNETT on the head knocking him almost senseless. It made him think of the old adage killing two birds with one stone. The next day MR. BENNETT accompanied by AL ROSS and FRANK GARDNER, TOM NORRIS, CARL KIRTON and DAVE BRECKENRIDGE, went to the secluded spot, thinking they might find the den where the animal lived. The boys all had a curiosity to see the dead wild cat before making any further explorations, and to their astonishment DAVE BRECKENRIDGE at first sight recognized the cat as the old pet house cat that had been left with him by Major GREEN a few years ago. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert iggy29@rnetinc.net 'A Closed Mouth Gathers No Foot'.
