A Lebanon, Ohio, despatch says: While Frank Hopping, a four-year-old boy, was playing with his dog on the public highway today, he was attacked by a drove of thirty hogs and literally eaten alive. His cries brought assistance and the brutes were driven away. The child's clothing was entirely torn from his body. Part of the scalp was torn away and one of the animal's tusks entered his cheek and broke out two back teeth. The sufferer died in great agony an hour after being rescued.
