SLEEPERS EYE PECKED OUT

Heat Drives Woman to Sleep on Her Porch, Hen Injures Sight. Kokomo, Ind., Aug. 24. —Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Friar, who live five miles south of Kokomo, became so warm sleeping in the house that they carried their mattresses outside and slept on the porch. They forgot, however, that chickens got up earlier in the summer than persons. Mrs. Friar’s attention was called to this fact shortly after daylight, when she was awakened by an old hen pecking her in the eye. As a result, she has lost the sight of her right eye and was In Kokomo, consulting an oculist.
