Show Raccoon Gets Lift Bus Driver Rebels At New Hitchhiker STRONGHURST, ILL. Chester H. McCoy, Gladstone farm worker, unknowingly gave a ride to a new type of hitchhiker recently. When McCoy stopped at a filling station to have oil in his car checked, the attendant discovered a raccoon, peacefully lying on a shield near the fuel pump enjoying the unexpected lift. The raccoon resorted to fighting fight-ing tactics in resisting all efforts to displace him from his berth. McCoy surmised that the raccoon had crawled into the car while it was parked near a farm field during dur-ing the day. |
