HUNGRY RACCOON FIGHTS MAN

Half-Starved Animal Caught in Cabin, It Claws Jersey Hunter Who Trapped IL

Meyersville, N. J!—Timothy Carter, who lives in a small cabin in the woods near this place, had a fierce fight with a half-starved raccoon which got trapped in the cabin. No sooner had Carter opened the door than the animal jumped at him, clawing and snarling. Carter fought the raccoon for ten minutes and finally killed it. He went to the borne of a nearby farmer, where a physician took four stitches in a wound in his arm and cauterized other cuts and bruises.
