RAT HUNTS IN OHIO.
Opposing Armies Frequently Re.or,
to Trickery.

opposinE Armies Frequently Re.ort
TO Trickery.
Rat hunts are becoming very common
in these parts, says n Bloomingburp
CO., correspondent, and it is just being
discovered that some very smooth
tricks are being played by the oppos.
ing armies" of hunters. 4 rat hunt
has just been concluded here in which
ll,ia5 rat tails were counted, and n
supper was given to the winners. One
crowd brought in 6,s02 tails and the
other 1853 tails. 1t now leaks out
that one of the leaders of the winning
crowd bought from parties ut Madison
Mills who had recently held a rat hunt
l,4s6 tails, paying one cent each for
the first 1000 tails and two-thirds of
a cent for 4s6 of them, the tails cost
ing more than sig. This enabled this
crowd to come out victorious. When
the tails were purchased n man from
another place was present, but was not
willing to pay so much for the tails.
When the 11,+55 tails were counted
out here n man was present from
Plain City and offered to give SOS cash
LOT 1000 rat tails, but they were all
burned, and he vas not allowed to take
any away. 1t now appears that the
same rat tails frequently win victories
in many different rat hunts.
