J., brother of Theodore Todd Maxfield, a well-known horseman, and nephew of Thomas Oakes, millionaire cloth manufacturer of Bloomfield, had an exciting encounter with a wild cat at Nashua, Fla. Maxfield was severely clawed by the animal, and his hunting dog was badly hurt. A farm hand saved Maxfield&#8217;s life by killing the cat with a club. Young Maxfield&#8217;s father, John F. Maxfield, owns an orange grove in Nashun. Chickens, ducks and other fowl have disappeared from his hennery, and suspecting that a chicken thief was plundering them, the Maxfields resolved to keep watch. At midnight they heard a commotion in the chicken house, and, armed with clubs and pistols, went there and discovered the cat. It sprang into a tree, but a shot from a pistol caused it to jump. It landed on young Maxfield&#8217;s back, biting and clawing until his clothing was torn to shreds. Maxfield&#8217;s dog went to his assistance and saved its master from futher injury. As it was fighting the cat George Pierson, a farm hand, attacked the wild beast with a club and dispatched it. The wild cat was four feet long, and is said to be the largest of its species ever seen in Florida. Young Maxfield recently had a battle with a rattlesnake, and was saved from death by the same dog that saved him last week.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00c2\u00a0 Little Boy Has Exciting Encounter With Vicious Animal. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Perry Maxfield of Bloomfield, N.
