GpLETHoRA OF JACK RABBITS
holld Train Loads Of Them on Western
Railways.


From the Topeka Capital: Solid
trains of jack rabbits will be novelty
in the TRAFFIC Of Western railroads dur
ing the coming winter. The trains
will be made up entirely Of refrigera-
tor cars, each of which will contain
5000 jack rabbits, thoroughly frozen
before being loaded for shipment. The
freight charges from Idaho to the Mis-
sissippi river will be six cents each.
or $3.50 for the car, which is consld-
cred a very high tariff, even for re-
frigerator car service but as the jacks
will bring 1925 to $3.50 per dozen 1t is
said there will be a good margin 1ol
both shippers and commission men
The extraordinary rush OF this meat
is due to the fact that the state OF
Idaho is now overrun by countless
numbers Of jack rabbits, which are
multiplying 50 rapidly that the tota'
destruction Of crops in that section Is
threatened. In the hope Of afordina
some relief the state legislature passed
a law Offering a bounty Of two cent?
on each jack rabbit scalp brought in
and the result is that the obnoxious
Dummies are being slaughtered in great
numbers. A prominent merchant OF
Pocatello conceived the idea of en-
couraging the determination OF the
pests and shipping the carrcasses to
Eastern game dealers to be sold. E!t
has concluded arrangements with
st. Louis man for disposlng OF the
game.

 It seems thaN Charles Liggins, colored. became involved in a row with Jim Elem ing. of the same hue, in which the former shot at Fleming. Deputy Sheriff Jim Mar shall hurried to the scene of trouble, but arrived just in time to see Liggins logging it for all he was worth.
 The deputy immediately gave chase and developed rare sprinting ability, finally capturing him at Sixth avenue and Seven teenth street. Higgins was very docile at first, but when the officer started to the jail with him. he began to scratch and kick in a manner not in tho least gratifying to Deputy Marshall, who immediately bounced upon the negro, and fight eRsued, in which tho former came out the victor.
 The affair had by this time attracted con- siderable attention, and a largo crowd fol- lowed the deputy and his prisoner to the jail On the way Leggins twice attacked Marshall. but each time was beaten into submission.

AN OLD FARMER
 KNOCKED IN THE HEAD
Got or the Car At Powderiy, and Was Next Found Living Unconscious
 in the Woods.

An old farmer by the name of McForrest was knocked in the head near Powdery last night between and s. o'clock Who knocked him in the head is not known. Robbery was the supposed intention. The old man was unconscious and could tell nothing of the assault.
 The residents of Woodlawn were very much wrought up and an armed posse went in search of the highwaymen. A deputy sheriff went out to investigate, but had not returned early this morning.
 McForrest resides near Powderly and his visits to the city are not frequent He came to the city yesterday afternoon. and when he started to return on Motorman Mo Knights car at 6:30 yesterday afternoon he had been drinking. When the car reached Powderly the old man got off and asked the motorman to direct him to Lodges store. This was the last seen of him until he was found unconscious in the woods not far from the car tracks with an ugly wound in his head.
 After making another trip Motorman Mo- Knight heard of the affair and notified the police. The only other parties who got off with McFefrest wers two negroes. They are- ~suspicioned of having done the dirty work.
