Good for Colonel “Tip.” Col. “Tip” Kenyon has verified his assertion that a spotted rat had been observed entering the basement of the Press building. The much heralded animal, through the efforts of the Colonel, had been captured and is now on exhibition at this office. The animal is a freak and the first of the kind to be on exhibition in this country.—Remington Press.
