Thursday, October 26, 193& M • wim Story of "Mickey" the Dog and WO Bate-":-"' Unheralded and forgotten in the publicity campaign to rid McHenry county of rats on the fatal day of Friday, the 13th, little "5Ec~cy" G year eld tctvrccn a. °zx terrier and a Boston bull decided to step into the spotlight on Saturday. She made up her mind to undertake the job before she knew •what she was in for. However, little "Mickey" had a busy day, so busy, in fact, that she worked right on through the lunch hour like a-regular trooper. A heroine in her own right "Mickey" captured and killed 200 members of the rodent family on the farm of John Shutter, 5 miles east of Woodstock near the David R. Joslyn farm In Bull Valley. , It all came about as workmen were preparing to relay the hen house cemsnt floor, the original floor being cracked. As the chunks of cement were loosened an army of rats made a bid for freedom. "Mickey" then decided to go to work-- and did she ever work! > Her victims, which ranged in size from the baby of the family to the daddy of them all, never had a chance with "Mickey." She carried the battle on and on and Anally when she snapped the neck of the last rat the workmen stepped from their ringside seats and made a count of the fatalities, in all numbering 200. You don't believe it? Well.^ust look at the picture of "Mickey" and count them yourself. (Note--The Sentinel Veporter didn't believe the story either, but he counted all 200 of them.) Farm Adviser John Brock stated today that rats on an average destroy $2.50 worth of farm feeds during the year. So "Mickey" on your reward pension fund you'll live on the best of everything for the next year, and no more rats for you. "Mickey" is owned by the Ira Overly family, managers of the Shut- •ter farm. Mr. Overly was assisted by his son, Hatold, in demolishing the hen house floor.
