Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 October 1900 — It Was a Dead Cat. [ARTICLE]

It Was a Dead Cat.

That human head incident at Cedar Lake has turned out to be about the biggest fake on record. Tt was nothing but the very dead remains of a big cat,‘killed nearly two years ago, by some Chicago hunters. It belonged in the hotel and they killed it because it annoyed them by its “yowling.” The inquest, when it was found, was held by the Deputy coroner of Lake county, and was purely a farce, and no doubt for the legal fee allowed for inquests.
