Newspaper Article Lucky Dip S2 E22
Welcome to another episode of newspaper randomness. We had 4 articles out the hat in this episode. Trigger warnings for accidental death by truss (1st article) & shotgun(?) blast to the pelvis (4th article).
To begin we hear about a stage extra in the theatre having died in an act of slapstick. (Magnet (London), 27th January, 1845.)
Then it's a relation of farm-servant, Tommy, having been discovered on giving birth. (Elgin Courant & Morayshire Advertiser, 5th September, 1856.)
Thirdly we have a strange change of the atmosphere leading to gas lamps giving out a green light while the sky turned purple. (Dundee Courier, 9th December, 1880.)
Our last article is about a farmer killed with his own gun after getting into a brawl with a gamekeeper. (Perthshire Courier, 7th September, 1815.)
