ODD NEWS Cuddly illegal alien sneaks into the U.S.
ELDRIDGE, N.D. — A stowaway who made it past customs agents and into the United States on the metal frame of a fertilizer truck has won over locals, who call her the "sweetest illegal immigrant we've ever met."
The migrant - a cat
- hopped aboard a semitrailer hauling fertilizer from Esterhazy, Saskatchewan, to Eldridge.
Customs agents at the border alerted the driver, but no one could catch the feline. When the semi arrived in Eldridge, the furry stowaway was still clinging to the frame.
The trip Wednesday took about eight hours.
"She had nothing to grip with her claws because it's metal," said Mainline book-keeper Jessica Hansen, who rescued the cat. "I don't know how she kept from falling out."
Hansen said she and her fellow employees - who named the cat Canada - considered keeping the animal as
a mascot, but decided it was too risky with all the trucks around. The James River Humane Society in Jamestown, near Eldridge, is trying to find it a home.
"I don't want to see her deported now that they've tightened the immigration laws" Society spokeswoman Deb Archambeau joked. "She's sweet and friendly and deserves a good home."

Marijuana-filled house deserted during fire
WADSWORTH, Ohio — Firefighters dousing a blaze in a new home were confused when the presumed owner suddenly fled — until they found $700,000 worth of marijuana plants in the basement officials said.
"It seemed so strange to me," said Wadsworth Fire Chief Ralph Copley. "If it were my home burning, I'd want to be there."
After firefighters extinguished the blaze, which started in the attic early Friday, authorities said they found 239 marijuana plants filling
The Medina County Drug Task Force and firefighters on Friday confiscated items from the home, including peat moss, 1,000-watt bulbs and large reflecting discs. The basement had no fire damage.
a quarter of the basement, which was wired throughout for indoor plant growing.
The marijuana-cultivating system was wired to the home's electrical system in a way that bypassed the meter, said Michael Barnhardt, acting director of the task force. Such wiring would help a grower avoid the large electric bills that clue in investigators, he said.
CORRECTION
Copley said the cause of the fire was unknown, but it did not appear to be related to the marijuna operation or electrical wiring. The fire caused about $150,000 in damage.
An article in Monday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article, "Class aims to prove Lawrence is friendly," should have said that Helen Hartnett, assistant professor of social welfare, said "This has been a great experience /or students, myself/ and fellow researcher, Toni Johnson, and the people who have participated. It has provided a hands-on opportunity to practice and share stories with people the students may not have had contact with in another way."
