10000 RABBITS SLAIN.
The Result of a Shotgun Drive on the
Pacific Coast.

Fresno, March 15.-The first rabbit
drive of the season in this county took
place yesterday.
1t was strictly a county drive,
and while the expanded line was scarce
Iy five miles long at 9 a. m, the num-
Der of rabbits in front of the contract
ed line at l p. m, ranged high up in the
thousands.
The corral was located at the inter
section of roads leading west and south
about four miles west of the village OF
OIeander, nearly ten miles southwest OF
Fresno and on the Smith ranch.
ShOtguns were used with effect and
the result was that when the corral was
reached, only a small number of the
great round up remained for slaughter.
Estimates of the number killed differ
widely because of the continuous de-
struction of the pests by gun fire on the
way to the corral, but it is probable
that the rabbit population around
Washington colony has been reduced by
not less than 10000.
