Rats Win Short Place Supremacy In Bitter Home Fight
The Bowden family of 914 Short Pi faces a rat infestation that has driven them from rooms and forced fear into the five children. A 13 year old was bitten twice by a rat, another nephew bitten on the forehead two weeks earlier. The dilapidated two story house shows gnawed floors and sinking bathtub. They rent from W. W. Horton and pay 28 dollars biweekly, utilities not included. Lacey Bowden, city employee, seeks a safer home but cannot yet find one.
