Gigantic Snake Injures Baby Girl Near Kewanee.
    When Mrs. F. H. Dunn, living at the eastern part of Elmira township, ten miles southeast of Kewanee, began her housework the other morning she left her infant daughter on a piece of carpet on the porch. Looking out of the door half an hour later she was horrified to see a monster snake twisting around the child. The snake had bitten the hand and arm of the little girl in several places and the limb was covered with vile slim which came from the reptile as it tried to swallow the member. The child’s hand and arm were inflamed and sore, but the little one will recover, it is believed.
