Farmhand Severely Injured by Deranged Vagrant

William Jones, of Indian Hill farm, was severely injured after being attacked by a violent and deranged vagrant on his property this Saturday. "The bum was strong like a bull, and he broke into my barn. Two of my calves were knoocked dead by the bum, and he then proceeded to break down the door to my little house. It was good thing I had my trusty old shotgun handy, for there are way too many strange folk roaming the countryside nowadays." Mr. Jones is now being treated for his wounds at St. Mary's Hospital in Arkham.
