Rare Sport in Court Street Whom an Old
Building Was Torn Down.
Halt barrel OF rats is quite catch for
one day but that is the amount captured
this morning on Court street. Miller,
Blanchard & Company are now getting
ready to erect fine brick block for an
addition to their livery stable, and this
morning the work of tearing down the
old barn was completed. The old struc-
ture was honeycombed with rat holes and
the rodents had stolen the horse feed un>
til they were as sleek and fat as could be.
Some fun was expected this morning
when the final tearing away of the old
barn was accomplished, and crowd of
about forty men and boys with dozen
lively dogs were on hand. The rats soon
began to run in all directions and for an
hour there was excitement on all sides.
When the final beam had been removed,
and reckoning had been taken, it was
found that seventy three rats had died an
unnatural death at the hands Of the rat
chtchers.
