Slain By Ingram Girl
A Western yellow haired porcupine was killed last Saturday night by Miss Jean Leinweber at her home in Ingram. Attracted by the barking of the family dog she used a flashlight and a .22 rifle to look for a possum but found the porcupine crawling up a yard post. The animal weighed 11 1 4 pounds and porcupines are rare in the Hill Country. Miss Leinweber, secretary to County Attorney Jim Weatherby, hopes she did not kill a pet. Ira Morris of Heart of the Hills Taxidermy Studio will mount the specimen. San Antonio visitors Whitewood and Mrs. L. H. Harper and daughter Dana Whitworth were in Kerrville Tuesday.
