The Almont Hat Cheese Prank Reaches Lively Heights
A cruel practical joke in a city saloon left a man convulsed by a slice of limburger cheese slipped into his hat lining. The shirted victim suffered moral panic and feverish symptoms as he searched for the culprit, while doctors and a worried wife scrambled to calm him. The tale ends with the baffled victim chasing the truth, a hat opened to reveal the cheese, and a local scene of alarm.
