LARGE GREEN WORM
BITES WOMAN'S NECK

Malvern, July Airs. Ray Aliens
worth. who lives northeast Of town a
few miles, met with peculiar mis-
hap. She was washing under the
trees when a large worm fell out OF
the tree and landed on her neck. She
hastily grabbed for'it when 1t sunk
it's teeth or feelers deep into her neck
until she could hardly pull 1t loose.
Soon after that her neck and arm be-
gan to swell. A physician was sent
for and prompt measures had to be
taken to relieve her. Her system
seemed to be full Of poison resulting
from the bite and the symptoms were
much the same as from a snake bite.
After she began to get better she had
a relapse and is still suffering from
the effects OF it.
