Rats attack at Pike's Peak summit sparks deadly struggle
An army of rats at the Pike's Peak summit in Colorado terrorizes residents after a government signal station is established there. The creatures hunt by night, devouring meat and threatening a family when an attack prompts Mrs. O'Keefe to deploy an electrical coil to kill the intruders. The infant child is missing a lump of flesh in the chaos, while others suffer injuries. The incident follows a similar attack in Taylor County where a farmer is wounded by enraged rodents.
