Rat Hides in Girl’s Skirt; Men Look Out Windows.

Green Bay, Wis., May 14. —A rat in a Depere inter urban car caused a panic among the passengers. The passengers had boarded the car at Green Bay, when the rat ran down the aisle. Women screamed and climbed onto the seats, but the rat immediately followed suit and took refuge in the folds of a skirt of a young woman passenger. The girl screamed and grabbed at the rat. At this juncture a gallant escort came to her rescue, took hold of the rat, which was folded in the skirt, and pounded it upon the seat until it was dead. The young lady was compelled to unfasten her skirt and shake it before she could get the rat out of its folds. Of course, the men all looked out of the windows during the entire episode.
