Interlaken, May sport and a little excitement was occasioned on Main street in this village on Monday afternoon in front of the store of C. F. Leonard. Mr. Leonard, by the way, is a fancier of the feline species, and has in his domicile a colony of pedigreed Angora and Persian cats in which he takes much pride and delight.
Monday afternoon, George Van Kirk came strolling along accompanied by his pet fox terrier "Skybo," all unconscious that anything except peace and good will was in the wind. As he approached the premises of Leonard, however, there was music in the air, and the tocsin of war was sounded by the pets of C. who immediately seized "Tabby" and called off "Maggie" who had prepared for a combat. Mr. Van Kirk remarked "let 'em go!" And Leonard did "let 'em went!" Like a flash "Dan," the "boss of the household," went through the air alighting on the flank of "Skybo," followed closely by "Tabby," who took him on the shoulder, while "Maggie," scenting the battle from afar, awoke from a peaceful nap on a cushioned chair, and made her appearance through the front door with bushy tail over her back and fur bristling up like porcupine quills, and matte a dart like a flash to get into the melee.
but "Sgybo," although a veteran of many little battles, was no match for the angry felines, and with a "ki-yi" threw up the sponge dropped his caudal appendage and with a mighty shake, freed himself from his feline assailants and started on the double quick for a more congenial clime, having had enough of that kind of reception. Soon afterward Doc Smith's Scotch Collie came sauntering along, all unconscious of any unusual disturbance in the atmosphere, when the colony of cats again arrayed themselves for battle. This collie was wise, and quietly meandered to the center of the street, thus giving them a wide berth. Leonard now has his colony enclosed in a yard with a ten-foot wire fence to protect them--or keep them from getting out--but says he will back them against any strange cats or dogs that may come along looking for argument.

The first passenger train was run over the road today. It was a special bearing a party of officials including President Thomas, Vice President Middleton, Su perintendent Abbott, Chief Engineer Ashby, Maintenance Engineer Moore and other officials of the Lehigh. Division Passenger Agent Paul Millspaugh of this city did not the trip today, but said he has already been over the new branch.
The new branch will be a great convenience to Ithacans. After the Lehigh Valley officers have approved of the extension, some announcement of the future plans of the company is expected. It is said that several passenger trains will be run each day from Auburn to Geneva, there with the main line. The general impression is that the road necting has been built mostly for freight vice. It is said that the Geneva-Auburn extension will deliver Western freight in Auburn fully five hours earlier than it is now received.
The John F. Dolan Construction Company, which started work on the extension a year ago, has some ditching and finishing work to do, but the roadbed is now in condition for traffic, and it is probable that schedules will go into effect before June 1. May 15 has been mentioned as the probable date for the opening of the road to the public. Although the new part of the road is but six miles long, it fills a gap which means much to the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The company has long had a spur from Geneva to Seneca Falls and also had track from Auburn to the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake.
a It has owned a right of way from Seneca Falls to the western shore of the lake for many years. The present extension does not follow the old right of way.
