The report notes Lawreace Reagan and Grover McKis sick exhibiting a large possum in West Chester, captured from the Big Woods and carried by its tail to town. They plan to keep it as a pet. Also told are tales of Abe Buzzard’s return to Reading after jail time, jitney buses challenging trolley service in Williamsport, a child choking on a peanut that later expelled it, and a fire sparked by sunlight on goldfish globes.
