Quiet Reigns As Leopard Evades Capture In Primary Enrollments
Sparse turnout marked the opening day of the primary enrollment with only 23 applicants across Democratic and Republican lists amid off year apathy. Local battles appear muted though Republicans eye district control in Elshth district as other races show little momentum. The report notes a lack of interest in naming delegates to state conventions and hints at old rivalries fading amid a generally quiet political season. Later, in Red Bank New Jersey, a $600 reward spurred a jungle hunt for an escaped Indian leopard from Oliver W. Holton’s Middletown zoo. Clues pointed to estate trails near Robert Adamson and Harry Payne Whitney properties, with 60 animal prints found and a dog as a partial clue. Authorities advised pistol-permit applicants that possessing firearms in the woods would not lead to prosecution. The leopard, six years old and weighing 7 1/2 pounds, remains at large as hunt efforts continue.
