A pet kitten kit-ten belonging to one of the Sergeants at Central police station called out all the reserve police force 'and sent in a riot call, which brought all the officers sleeping in the station rushing in' half dressed. The electric buttons with which the calls are turned in are at the side of the Sergeant's desk. The kitten, while in the vacant chair at the lunch hour, began be-gan playing with the buttons, with the result that both calls were- sent in almost al-most simultaneously. Business was Plow, but in a minute the officers were startled to see two patrol wagons dashing dash-ing up from the the stables, while haif-dreesed haif-dreesed policemen ran In from all directions, di-rections, carrying the remainder of their uniforms in their hands. |
