Hunter Finds Penny Inside a Duck

Pennsylvania, 1915

COIN IN CRAW

Find Lincoln Penny inside of a Duck

Charles Kuhn, of Cashtown, killed a duck on Thursday and in cleaning the craw found a Lincoln penny that must have been there for some time. The edge of the coin was much worn and it was very thin and as bright as a new piece of money.


BOY PAINFULLY HURT

Little Son of Mr. and Mrs. Rummel Has Leg Broken.

Jumping from a pile of straw to the ground, a distance of scarcely more than four feet, John Rummel, the five-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. I. H. T. Rummel, sustained a broken ankle. The little fellow was playing with his sister, Florence, on Thursday afternoon when the accident occurred. It is believed the fracture was caused by the ankle turning, which threw the full weight of the boy on the side of his foot. The family live along the Bonneauville Road about two miles from town.
