PHOTOGRAPH OF BUNNY AND
HALF-EATEN RATHER.

Bringing up once more the story
which was sent in from the Lyons
correspondent of the Morning News
about the rabbit that dined off rattle
snake and the exceptions taken by
the New York Times, a photograph
was yesterday sent by Bob Glass, of
Chemical No. 1, to the Morning News
office showing Mr.. Bunny and his late
friend, the RATHER after the trouble
The picture is an excellent evidence
in favor of the story, as told, for it
shows very plainly the rabbit, uncon-
cerned and apparently in good health
and the snake dead and mutilated.
Under the circumstances it is almost
impossible for anyone to doubt that
the rabbit actually killed and then
chewed up his enemy. That the rabbit
died afterwards from the effects of
eating unwholesome food was also
chronicled and this is easy to believe.
The New York Times may also be
ignorant of the fact that in some
sections of the South where the small
farmer raises a brand of hogs known
as ''razorbacks' it is not at all I'M
common for these forage to meet.

is said to have no fear for the snake
at all and some have claimed that the

PICKED RIFLE TEAM
THREE MATCHES TO BE SHOT BY
REPRESENTATIVES, FROM
CAVALRY AND ARTILLERY.
HUSSARS AND GALATIANS WILL
COMPETE FOR TROPHY.

First Match VIII BE shot on Mon

Second 10 BE Shot in Chathams
Gallery and Third in the Gallery
of the Team Making Highest
Score in First Two Matches.
Teams VIII Consist of Five Men
Each-German Ring Target and
FIobert Rifle to BE Used.
Beginning next Monday night, Sc
ries of three matches with the rifle
will be shot between teams represent
ing the Chatham Artillery and the
Georgia Hussars. The first two matches
will be shot in the galleries of the re-
spective teams, the third to be pulled
off in the gallery of the team which
makes the highest aggregate score in
the first two contests.
The Flobert rifle will be used in the
contests. Applicants for places on the
team have been spending much time
in practice within the past three weeks,
with the result that the number of men
from whom the two teams will be pick
ed has been narrowed down to a COM
parative few. These men comprise the
best rife shots in the two commands,
and it is probable that some good
scores will be made.
The teams will be composed of five
men EACH to be selected only from the
active membership of the respective
organizations. The German ring tar
get will be used in all of the contests.
A suitable trophy for the winning
team, to be selected and bought by the
defeated team, will be offered as
prize. On account of the friendly rival
~ existing between the Hussars and
the Chathams, and the reputation of
each with the rifle the outcome of the
contest is watched with much inter-
est.
The names of the men who will com
prise the two teams has not been Of
fcially announced, but those who have
made the highest scores. and who viii
probably comprise the teams are: Hus-
sars, Sheftall, Martin, Colquitt, Way

CAMPBELL MAKES ANSWER.

Declares the Virginia Legislature
Cannot Remove Him.
Richmond, Va, April 6.-The an
swer of Judge Clarence ]. Campbell
of Amherst county to alleged causes
of removal, was presented in both
houses of the General Assembly.
Judge Campbell denies the right of
the General Assembly to remove him
and sets forth his reasons in detail.
One of his main contentious is that he
holds office under the new constltu-
tion which he swore to support July
1902. and that the Assembly, there
fore. cannot hold him amenabie for
any matters which occurred prior to
that date.
