Rats.

Published in the Waukegan Gazette, Waukegan, Illinois on Saturday, September 16, 1871

The Mount Vernon Free Press “Is informed that a few nights since, in Horse Prairie, a child but a few weeks old was terribly bitten and mutilated by rats while in bed with its parents. One of its fingers was eaten off, and the flesh torn from its forehead and one cheek. It is also stated that the father and mother did not wake up while the rats were at their horrible work, notwithstanding the screams of the child.
