Pandemonium in the Panhandle

Citizens of northwest Florida were captured by fear today as a band of wild monkeys rampaged through the area. They were first sighted swinging through some trees near the Seaboard tracks west of Tallahassee.

Later they overran a small crowd at a local ice cream truck, frightening several small children. "I was running a special on banana splits," the driver remarked. "They plumb cleaned me out!"

Finally the monkeys arrived at their ultimate destination, Herman's Hamburger and Hotdog House. Apparently they were related to the proprietor and were seeking employment. Diners claim the cuisine has deteriorated markedly since their arrival.
