The Dr. laid a foul hand on the "sardine: and escaped with but a few scratches from a couple of the animal's forty thousand legs. The gentleman's arm and shoulder swelled up slightly but nothing serious is anticipated. we congratulate the Dr. on his escape. ==== KS-FOOTSTEPS Mailing List ==== File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ks/seward/newspapers/drfoster310nw.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/ksfiles/ File size: 1.2 Kb
