Show LARGE PORCUPINE IS KILLED I CENTER OF THE W - A seventy-flve-pound porcupine was clubbed to death this morning about 3 o'clock, by the night watchman at the local forestry service building. The watchman was standing in front of the entrance watching for daybreak, day-break, when he noticed a huddled form wabbling along the gutter toward to-ward him. He greeted it with a club. The helpless animal wriggled desperately des-perately toward the car tracks, in an attempt to escape, but was overtaken and killed. Boys passing by all morning pulled quills from the porcupine's back until the latter was- almost stripped of his defense. |
