Joe McCrone Says He Had to Seize Hold of Goose’s Neck to Make it Let Go.
    Recently the Sun printed an item which many considered a mere joke, to the effect that when crossing a lot on the West side Joe McCrone of the People’s market had been “bitten by a big goose.”
    Everybody who read it thought that Phil Sheridan was just “kidding” Joe.
    But Joe declares it actually happened. He explaines the unusual incident this way.
    “I saw the geese come toward us, hissing as they often do. I told Phil to “look out, they’re going to attack us, and just then one of them came up close behind me and took a nip of my leg.
    “His sword-like bill went through my trousers and I later found he drew blood. Well, that fellow hung on so hard that I just had to reach down and grab hold of his neck, choking him to make him let go. I had quite a tug to release his grip but finally got him off.
