Mr. Shirril had had the small beast three days when this pic-ture was taken, and it was tame as a kitten. It was caught early in the morning, when the dogs treed it up a post ,and their racket brought a crowd around. As eggs had been disappearing from the coops, first impulse was to kill what looked like a weasel. But Mr. Shirril asked to have it put in his custody, and now won-ders what his new pet is. The animal is 28 inches long, overall, with a muskrat colored bady. The tail is 16 inches long, ringed in Black and white. It has a sharp pointed nose with two large eyes, cat-lik- e ears, and small feet. . Webster's large dictionary lists a "Cacomixle", with a pic-tu'- re that greatly resembles this animal. It says it a carnivore, common in Calif., and Mexico, and resembles a racoon. Johnny Adams says he has seen the ani-mals like the one pictured in Texas, where they are called cacomixle. ....But L. F. Gordon has a 1948 National Wild Life Federation conservation stamp, with a color ed picture of the same animal, identified as a "ring-taile- d cat". Mr. Shirril said in the office he had trapped ring-ta- il cats in Nevada, and they were different than the little animal he holds here, rounder and heavier. Austin Johnson, during years of trapping in West Millard, says he has seen one such animal there. Last year Bob Stinson got one in Marjum Pass, and sent the skin in to Bud Huff, who dis played it in D. Stevens' window. Frank Crane another trapper, says he has never seen one here abouts. They are said to be numerous around Zion Canyon. Mr. Shirril and his wife were visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Taylor, at Abraham, when the pet was acquired.They plan to make their home here and will farm at Abraham. Frank S. Beckwith spent the week end in Salt Lake City and Tooele. In Tooele he helped with the in-stallation of printing machinery tor the Tooele County Chronicle. It is expected that that paper will be printed there within a week or two. At Salt Lake City he attended the monthly meeting of the directors of the Utah State Press association. ?r .Tm... ..,.u..jl. ard Gardner, Mr. and Mrs Leigh Maxfield, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Nick- - le, and Jay Bunker.
