ENTOMBED BODY OF CAT IS FOUND IN WESTMORLY HALL

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Wrapped in a newspaper dated 1902 and containing on the sport page a picture of Terrible Terry McGovern, the prize fighter, the cat's body was found wedged in a niche among the floor supports seemingly as well preserved as any specimen to be found in the Agassiz Museum.
