Show MAN-EATING IDAHOANS. The Startling Experience of Deputy Treasurer Jack May. Jack May, deputy city treasurer, returned from a fishing excursion to Idaho yesterday, bringing with him a couple of store fish and a story of a flesh-eating contest he alleges ho witnessed in the quiet town of Soda Springs Saturday. It appears that a blacksmith named Merrill Mer-rill and a quiet citizen called "Tom" engaged en-gaged in a saloon row, and in the melee Merrill had his lower lip torn from its place by "Tom's" fangs, and ' that party lost su ounce or more of flesh from his left cheek. Merrill's lip eventually found its way to the floor where it remained twenty minutes and although well masticated was returned to its proper place by the village physician. |
