The Bounty Raised.

The board Of county commissioner.
Tuesday declared the bounty Of 81
each on rabbit scalps raised, to take
effect January 20. The bounty was
put on November s, and since tina,
time the county has paid bounty on
94,9S4 rabbit scalps, an expenditure oil
s2,S49.5l. And yet there is no percep.
tible diminuatiOn in the supply of jack
rabbits and "cOttOntails" In Sumner
county. Killing rabbits in this coun-
.y is great deal like dipping water
out OF the ocean. There would be nc
noticeable decrease 10 the bunny
population until all the rabbits in
Kansas and Oklahoma are slauph-
tered.
No scalps are being received this
week because the clerks time is taken
up with the winding up of the affairs
Of his office and getting ready to
abdlcate. The commissioners are
also In session and this requires con-
siderable of the clerks time and
attention.
Hereafter those bringing in scalps
for bounty will be required to swear
that the rabbits were killed by them
selves. No proxy business goes.
