BOAR RUNS AMOK
TWO VILLAGERS KILLED. - A huge wild boar, weighing 3001 b, went on a rampage in a forest near Ishibe, Shiga Prefecture, in the vicinity of Otsu, Japan, gored to death two villagers and seriously wounded three others. The farmers were attacked while they were clearing the forest of fallen leaves. One of the injured villagers, Eikichi Miyakima, although injured in the hand and thigh, seized an axe, and with the aid of another farmer succeeded in killing the boar. Japan is so thickly settled that attacks of this kind by wild beasts arouse attention because of their infrequency.
