Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

Dashes Madly Through Streets of an Ohio Town with Burden.
The citizens of Mononcue, Ohio, were out the other day hunting for a big panther that has terrorized the residents of that locality. For weeks past the farmers have missed fowl and young animals. In the snow, tracks of a strange animal had been seen, but no one had any idea what was committing the depredations. A small child of Samuel Hunt was carried off bodily from its parents’ door. The panther marched boldly down the main street of the village. The animal spied the child, closed its jaws on it and went galloping out of town. Citizens started in pursuit and so frightened the beast that its human burden was dropped. The child suffered no injuries other than abrasions of the skin.
