Georgetown Man Has Two Under Discipline
on His Motor Boat.
One day last week while going
through a portion of Santee swamp,
P. R. Lambert, a well known woodsman,
of Georgetown, came across a
wild cat's liar. His dog gave the
first alarm and as he came to the
spot the dog seized an object which
Mr. Lambert i-ecognized as a baby
wild cat. The little fellow had
bravely shown fight, although not
more than two weeks old, it was
soon killed by the dog. Just then Mr.
Lambert saw two other little wild
cats making away through the bushes.
He gave chase and caught them. The
mother wild cat had evidently siunK
away at the approach of danger, leaving
the little ones to their fate. Signs
of her bed were there and the spot
was still warm where she had been
with the kittens playing about her.
The baby wild cats are now in possession
of Arthur Lambert ,son of the
fmder, who says they will not be wild
cats long, as they are already getting
quite tame. He has them on his motor
boat. ^'hey are pretty little
things, a male and a female of the
species, with dun brown b^ks, spottcJ
