RATS ON THE RAMPAGE.
They Invade a Farmers Premises and
Make Great Fight.

They Invade Farmers Premises and
Make Great light.
The village of President, an old-time
petroleum center, is in the Oil creek of
Pennsylvania. There is where the
Karnses, once a famous family of oil
operators, had their home, and some of
them live there and thereabout yet.
One of these is Henry Harms. The
other day, early in the morning, he
heard his pig, which had reached the
proper condition for killing, squealing
in such an agonizing way in the pen
that he knew something was wrong
with it. Harms first, thought was
bear, for now and then, even at this
late date, bears venture from the dis
tant woods to the sleepy towns in that
part of the valley and try their skill on
pigs and sheep. So Harms took his gun
and hurried to the pig pen. But instead
of bears rats were the impudent in
vaders Of the pig pen and hungry assail-
ants of the pig.
The stye was simply alive with rats.
The pig was PROSTATE on the floor OF
the pen, and literally covered with this
horde of rats, which were squealing,
fighting among themselves for vantage
ground on the fat porker, and gnash-
ing and gnawing at the pigs flesh,
from his head to his rump. To fire his
gun into the swarming rats would be
Che endangering of the pig, and think
ing that prompt and vigorous attack
on the rats would put them to flight he
dubbed his gun and began mauGng
right and left with it. The pig had
plainly made a desperate fight against
its assailants, for scores of rats lay
dead about the pen. The moment
Harms pitched into the rats those in the
outer ranks turned on him. They came
at him in such force that he was uu-
able to fight them off, and after 4 brief
attempt to hold his ground he turned
and fled. fastening back to the house
he drew the buckshot from his gun and
loaded it with fine shot. Returning to
the pen, he gave the great body of rats,
shooting along the side of the pig so as
not to injure it, the charge of both bar
rels. Many OF them were swept down
before it, but their places were quickly
taken by others. Harms fred five times.
The rats that were left still held their
ground.
The shots had attracted the attention
of the neighbors, who ran to the place
to see what was going on. This arrival
of reinforcements alarmed the rats, and
the survivors retreated, scampering
away in all directions. The pig was
dead. The flesh had been stripped from
it clear to the bone in many places. It's
eyes had been plucked out, and its
heart half eaten in two. A half-bushel
baslletful of dead rats were taken from
the pen. Where the rodents came from
so suddenly in such great numbers is
not known. None of them has been
seen since.

THE ROAD is HERE.

The North and South Track is in the
City.
The hope of years was contaminated
yesterday. The Santa Fe, Prescott &
Phoenix railway has been brought into
Phoenix. The track was laid across the
Salt river canal last night and stopped
within 300 yards of the electric street
railway tracks. The trolley wires of
the electric railway were raised so as to
make room for the passage of the rail-
road cars. By three O'Clock today the
contractors say the tracklaying will be
fin ished down through the city to First
avenue and then all will be done except
the laying of the side tracks and the
driving of the golden spike which will
be formally performed as an incident of
the great celebration two weeks hence.
But the road is now in Phoenix and the
trains will be here in day or two.
