NEWS BRIEFS - Binghamton is the third largest cigar making city in the United States. New York ranks first, Key West second and Binghamton third. AND - "Woman Battles a Wild Cat" Under the above heading, and several others, which together occupy three times the space of the article following, we find in yesterday's Philadelphia Inquirer the following stuff - "Alarmed by the cries of her poultry, Mrs. Hemstead, of Cascade Valley [near Susquehanna], last evening, went into her barn where she saw a large wildcat eating a turkey. She returned to the house, secured an axe, returned to the barn and gave battle to the wildcat, killing it after a severe struggle in which she was painfully lacerated and her clothing was badly torn. The wildcat weighed 30 pounds." It's funny how the Metropolitan newspapers swallow such stuff.
