Man Attacked For A Coon

Published in The Lake County Independent, Libertyville, Illinois on December 21, 1894.

     Henry and Barney Chasteen, residing at Holman, Ind. went coon hunting. A coon ran up a tree and Henry climed the tree after him. He perched himself on a limb and was about to fire when the limb broke, precipitating him to the ground. The dogs mistook him for the coon and almost tore him to pieces. Barney was compelled to kill two of the dogs before they would loosen their hold on his brother.
