Rats Chewed Baby.

Mr. and Mrs. James Reynolds of Plowville, Berks county, I’a., were awakened by the screams of their infant, which occupied n cradle in their bedroom. The baby had been attacked by a dozen hungry rats, which at first resisted the efforts of the parents to drive them away. The rats chewed three of the child's fingers. Martin Quilligan and John Under, employes of the Girard Iron Company, Youngstown, Ohio, were killed by being caught by the cage.
