+. J. Stone, Ing. Void, N. G..
Eyenson and Scott Hall went down
to the river last Monday to hunt Jack
rabbits. They report . dandy time
and good sort. It is somewhat
dinicult for me COURIER to correctly
register the true number bsgged .
each one Of the party tells different
story and the story grows each time.
Fred Stone gets q near to the truth
as any Of the bunch Is his story was
the lowest. The four Of them when
It comes down to hunting stories are
probably the greatest prevaricators in
the city. County Commissioner
Gunderson, however, comes to our
rescue, and swears by the beard Of
the prophet that the total number Of
rabbits brought in was three and that
Stone said that the guests at the
Palace could not have rabbit for din
ner as there was not enough to 60
around-he had previously said that
they had run down forty-eight. We
shall believe Gunderson this time.
