Joliet, Ill., July 18.- Mrs. Mary Palace today asked the police to “arrest” a large rooster belonging to John Francis, a neighbor, after it had attacked her 2-year-old son, Leo, and beaten him into unconsciousness.
    The boy was chasing the fowl when it suddenly turned on him with spur and beak. Leo attempted to escape, but tripped and fell. The rooster hopped on his head and began driving his spurs and bill into the boy’s scalp.
    The boy was insensible when the mother reached him and drove the bird away. His scalp was torn in several places.
