Those Peru Bed Bugs.

Anderson Bulletin. Before the school was closed one little fellow had been seized by three of the larger bugs and was being carried toward an old abandoned ice house on the banks of the Wabash river, when a couple of Miami Indians, who live on the reservation near there, rescued the lad. The Indians were on their way to Peru to draw their annuity from the government and were carrying rifles, with which to protect themselves from robbers on their way home. After they had »hot two of the bugs the third one let go of the boy and ran into the cornfield.
