JACK RABBITS IN DEMAND.

Georgia Wants . Carload Of the
Texas Stock. ;.
General Freight Agent n. A. Jones
Of the Southern Pacific recently re-
ceived unique order from friend in
Georgia., according to an Austin dis
patch to the Chicago Record. 1t was
request that carload of jack rabbits
be captured and shipped to central
Georgia, where they will be turned
loose with the view of stocking that
state with them. Mr.. Jones referred
the request to Charles Fahey, CONNER
cial agent of the road at San Antonio.
Mr.. Fahey has already taken steps to-
ward filing the order, and as soon as
sufficient number of the prairie runners
are captured to fill car they will be
shipped to the Georgia enthusiast. It
is said that jack. rabbits are unknown
In southern states east Of the Missis
sippi, but no reason is known why
they should not thrive there II they
can be located on open land. 1t has
been demonstrated that jack rabbits
die when confined to wooded land.
The job, of. capturing q carload Of the
animals Is an undertaking Of consider.
able magnitude. They can outrun the
tleetest dog, and it takes good shot
to even kill them. They will have to
lie trapped, and, as they are of wary
and suspicious nature, it will be tedi-
GUS work to allure them into temporary
captivity in that manner.
There are many professional jack
rabbit hunters In west Texas They
are unerring shots and kill thousands
of the animals every season for the
northern markets. They are dressed
and shipped by the carload to Chicago.
St. Louis. New York and other large
markets, where they meet with ready
sale. Despite this annual wholesale
slaughter there is no appreciable de-
crease in the number of jack rabbits on
the prairies of Texas. They multiply
with wonderful rapidity, and If the
carload that is to be sent to Georgia Is
protected it will be but few years un-
til that state will be overrun with
them. 80.

CITY TRAIN ROBBERY.
Illinois Central Express Held Up in
 Now Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 14.-The Chi cago limited on the Illinois Central due to arrive here at I:1o o'clock last night, was robbed at Carr0llton avenue, on the outskirts of the city, by masked men. The mail and express cars were blown open with dy yuanitC, and the former was rifed of it's contents. Conductor kennG- breu was badly wounded. He was shot in the back because he did not obey or derS to uucouple the train. None of the passengers was disturbed. and they knew nothing of the robbery until the heavy charge of dynamite was fired. Then they pulled down the blinds and kept quiet. A large squad of police and de- tectivcS arrived at the scene in a few minutes and succeeded in arresting six men. who are held at headquarters. Four of them are negroes.
 It is not known just how many men took q part in the robbery. They all wore short, black masks and are sup posed to have boarded the train at Ken ner, the last stop before New Orleans. The leader of the gang evidently got on in front of the mail car, next the tender. The plan was well laid, and when point near the railroad crossing at Carrolton avenue was reached the leader crawled up over the coal tender to the engine and, covering the engineer and fireman, ordered them to stop the train. They complied. The other men jumped from the train.
 Conductor Kcnncbrcu also left one of the rear coaches and was immediately covered by several rcvolvcrs. He was ordered to uncouple the trais. He did not step quick enough. and q bullet was fired in his back. The robbers then un- coupled the train back Of the tender. and the leader, who was still on the engine, ordered the engineer to pull out" The engineer complied and kept pulling out until ordered to stop, half a mile away. Here the leader of the gang jumped off and hurried away in the darkness.
 Meantime the rest of the gang was hurrying matters, and after a demand on the express messenger and mail clerks to open up, which was not compiled with, big charges of dynamite were placed un- der the cars and touched off. The eX press ear was badly shattered. but the express officials claim the robbers got nothing there The mail car was not badly Injured, but an entrance was effect ed and all the mail pouches were cut open. Some - or 100 pieces of register ed mail were carried away.
 While this was going on the fag.aan of the train escaped and went down the track to flag another train. He was met by the robbers and relieved of his watch Railroad and city detectives and United States secret service men by the score are working on the case. E
