A GREAT RABBIT DRIVE.
1T OCCURRED IN CALIFORNIA
SEVERAL DAYS AGO.
Thousands Killed and Coyote Trampled
to Death by the Frightened
Rabbits.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The great rabbit drive, which was SO
deliberately planned at Fresno, was to-
day carried into successful execu ton,
with the result that thousands of rabbits
met their fate from the merciless clubs
of farmers and town people. Estimates
as to the number killed vary, ranging
from 10000 to $4,000. It was impossi-
BILE to count them, and the best estimate
is no better than a guess. But the
slaughter surpassed anything of the
kind ever seen here before.
Ten thousand people took part--foot-
mep, horsemeD, wheelmen, and vehicles
of all sorts. When the line was formed
ready for advance it was in huge cres-
cent, one horn at McMu Ian station, and
the other near Caruthers, on the west
side of the railroad. The line of people
was twenty-four miles long. 1t was after
10 O'Clock when w. F. Rowell signalled
a general advance, and the line moved
forward across orchards, fields, vine
yards, and finally emerged on the open
plans. The best of order was maintain
ed. The marshals galloped along the
line giving instructions. Toward noon
the north and south wings began to fold
inward to the center, and when in three
miles of the corral the line of men had
contracted till it was less than shree
miles long.
All this time the rabbits had beer
driven forward, constantly increasing in
numbers. At first they had not showed
much concern, but when they began tt
be crowded they grew excited. Several
coyotes were started. Some were shot
and others died later. Some whelps
we're caught alive. Many rattlesnakes
were killed. When the rabbits had beer
dAtYen into comparatively small place
they covered the ground, and soon grew
excited and tried to escape by rushing
through the lines. Thea the slaughter
began. A solid line of men dropped or
their knees and dubbed the rabbits
From this point to the corral men ad
vanced on their kness, leaving thu
ground heaped with the dead behinC
them. Fully 10000 were thus killed ant
the others were forced into the corral
where they rushed to and fro, franti
with fear. They trampled and smother
ed one another to death by thousands
4 A coyote that entered the corral wa'
actually trampled to death by the rab
bits, Fifteen minutes with clubs finish
ed the work.
Many good judges place the total kill
ed at $4,000. Farmers hauled Wagon
loads away to feed hogs. The best o
order prevailed. Only one person re
fused to obey o'ders. He was beatel
and driven off the grounds by tht Isrowd
The drive was the best managed, tn
largest and most satisfactory ever he'll
in the country.

trOits Mayor.
Mayor Pingree's friends have been
wondering where the money was to
come from to conduct his gubernatorial
campaign, and bright newspaper man
suggested popular subscription. The
suggestion took like fresh vaccine virus,
and country correspondent was the
first one to respond with 20 cents in
stamps. The limit of all future contri"
buttons is fixed at 10 cents.
The first city hall man to contribute
was Policeman MoGahan, who rendered
a 3 cent stamp. Other "stonehoussn
habitues were quick to follow this lead,
and pennies, nickels. dimes, cent street
car tickets, stamps, ETC., were poured"
into the hands of the mayors secretary.
Mr.. Pingree bars strips from mileage
books, for he thinks them the inventions
of railroad corporations to Cypress the
poor laboring man.
