Butts County Argus April 1877
Bill Johnson – Shoots Cat

Bill Johnson, a few nights ago was so vexed by the music of a serenading cat, 
that he got out of the bed and carefully loaded an old blunderbuss and fired 
at the animal; a tremendous explosion followed.  On recovering his wits, Bill 
ascertained that the old gun was loaded when his grand father brought it home 
from the Indian war, and had never been fired since.   Both charges exploded 
at once, the fur flew over an acre of ground, but the cat escaped unhurt.
