Asserts He Has Killed Every Ro-
dent in Alta Sta, Ill.

Attorney J. W. Bartholomew of Alta
sta, Ill, who began war Of extermina-
ZION upon the rats In his village a few
weeks ago. announced yesterday that he
mad succeeded In killing every rodent that
nsd not taken flight from the town
When Mr.. Bartholomew began his cru
sade the rats had become SO numerous and
SO bold that they nearly had possession of
MS place. Cats did not dare venture on
the premises and dogs could not be Induced
10 stay unless they were chained The sit-
uation mad grown desperate when the law
yer bethought himself Of his former skill
with rifle and revolver. Years ago, when
ne was IN the West, he was accounted rath-
er better than q fair shot.
Next day AIR. Bartholomew invested in n
large quantity OF ammunition, loaded his
weapons and repaired TO his back yard The
Hrst rat that showed itself stopped a bullet
from his rife and Immediately went out OF
business. The rest OF the day he spent on
MS back steps. firing whenever a rat
showed itself.
This was much fun for Mr. Bartholo-
new that he told some of his friends about
II and invited them to como down to his
house and shoot rats with him. They ac-
cepted with alacrity. rat-shooting tourna-
mehts were arranged and the number OF
rodents was daily decimated. When they
omered much interest, Mr.. Bartholomew
sun kept up his practice until he had. as
ne declares. rid the town OF the rats.
