Pennsylvania, 1915

STOLE SIX PIGS

Rats Get Away with Entire Litter of Pigs.

Rats carried off a litter of six 2- weeks-old pigs from G. N. Walker, a farmer residing about two miles from York Springs. Mr. Walker placed the sow and pigs in an empty stall in the barn to keep them warm and during the night the hungry rats carried off the pigs.


SERIOUSLY HURT

Girl Strikes Back of Head on Icy Pavement.

Ellen Starner, the fourteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Starner, of Menallen township, slipped on an icy pavement in Bendersville on Monday evening, striking the back of her head with great force. She was unconscious for several hours and is now reported to be suffering from a slight concussion of the brain. She will in all probability recover.
