Felix the Cat Mule Rescued From Old Well
A 1100 pound mule named Baalam was found wedged in an abandoned well on the Smith farm after missing from farmer Charles Tomlinson's herd. Rescue crews lifted the animal, suffering only bruises to head and neck, and the owner praised the mule's gratitude. Also reported: Professor William Henry Bristol, inventor and company president, died at 70 after months of illness. Jersey City notes Army back John Hertz Murrell now works as an iron worker while awaiting duty with the Army Air Service.
