A BABE'S TERRIBLE DEATH
Kansas City, February 1. - The infant son of Mr. And Mrs. Reeves died today from the wounds inflicted upon it by rats sometime during last night. The doctor in describing the wounds said: "The nose was eaten entirely off; horrible wounds appeared on both cheek bones; the scalp had been gnawed through in one place so that the brains were exposed." The child lived only a few hours after it received its injuries.
