Mosquitoes Ravage Wabash Bottoms This Summer
Mosquitoes in the Wabash bottoms are described as the worst in years with picnics and fishing parties canceled. Residents say the air swarms with insects and cannot be repelled by smoke or mosquito eradicators. Fishermen near Riverton report clouds of pests preventing line checking. A Sullivan visitor notes chicken screens fail to keep them out. The report ends with a truncated railroad line reference.
