SLAUGHTER
OF RHBBITS
Will Continue Until the Pest is Driven from
the Valley

Another rabbit drive was pulled off
north of town last Tuesday in which a
couple of hundred of the furry fellows
were slaughtered The first drive was
not as successful as most have been,
but the drive in the afternoon was
more to the liking Of the participants.
A splendid lunch was served the crowd
which took part in the drive. Four
teen goats were barbacued. This to-
gether with bread and coffee, furnish
an excellent meal for the hungry
drivers.
During the day, Jack Kelley met
with a painful and what might have
resulted in a serious accident. Just
after the first drive, he started to an
other part of the field, cantering along
lively, when his horse stumbled, fall
ing and turning complete somersault.
Jack was thrown clear of the animal,
landing on his head. He too, somer-
saulted, and was up as quick as the
horse. He again mounted and rode
away, but after about an hour, was
compelled to go home. He was down
town attending to business as usual,
yesterday however.
On last Friday occurred probably the
most largely attended drive of all.
The merchants .closed their places of
business, and everybody took in the
drive, except the poor "devils" in the
News Print Shop, VINO had to grind
out the regular edition of the News.
The drives were quite successful.
Another drive will occur today north
east of town. 1t is proposed to keep
these going until the rabbits have been
cleared from this part of 4he country.
The Mcintosh people held a small
but successful drive last Monday.
Another was to have occurred yestcr-
day. On next Wednesday, the 2Sth, all
men in the neighborhood Of Mcintosh,
and all others who will join, are asked
to meet at the home of Geo. Bradley,
two miles south ard one and half
miles east Of Moriarty, with their shot
guns. No boys nor rifles will be allow
ed. The hunt will form at Bradley's
place at ten o'clock and move south.
All hunters to be on foot.
Another party will meet for rabbit
drive at Willard tomorrow Saturday.

Meat Inspectors Bring Coca
Reports to Secretary Wilson
in Conference in Chicago.

Chicago, May 8.-Secretary of Agri.
culture Wilson today met the chief
meat inspectors of every large city I'M
the country to confer on the applica-.
'tion of the new meat laws. DR.. Melvin,
chief of the bureau of animal industry,
delivered an address in the course of
which he declared that July /, 1906,
there were engaged in meat inspection
in 1853 establishments, 1854 employees.
There are now 2,029 employees in 669l
establishments.
Inspection has been withdrawn from.
forty-six official establishments prin-
rcipally because of the use of prohibited
p~reservatives.
The approximate COST" said Melvin,
"of inspection as conducted at this time,
is for cattle and calves. S cents per
head; for swine, sheep and goats 81
cents, and for the inspection of meats
received in official establishments, from
other official establishments, one-half
of one mill per pound"
In conclusion Melvin declared the
bureau has received in a general way
the cooperation of the packers. The
greatest difficulty thus far has been the
attainment of cleanliness. Conditions
are, however, in his opinion, working
steadily for the better.

Norfolk, Va, May Sin answer to
reports that the Jamestown EXPOSE

embarrassed, Barton Myers, governor
Of ways and means, gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
1T is true that exposition company
desires and contemplates a loan Of
about $400,0 900, which If it can be OBJ
tanned on a reasonable and satisfactory
basis, is to provide for certain pay
ments on buildings and for various
items of construction and landscaping,
which are desirable for the attractive
ness of the exposition.
1.-The finances of this exposition are
on a more stable basis than has been
the case with other expositions, in
that it owns the land on which it's
expenditures have been made, a large
proportion Of which are permanent in
character, consisting of buildings,
streets, sidewalks, a complete system
Of water mains, gas pipes, sewerage,
electric lighting etc. 1t is therefore
in a position to issue mortgage bonds

to be present as an observant pnysn
clan.
In support Of the murder theory it
is pointed out that the grass over the
spot where the body was found was
burned over four weeks ago. There are
ing. DR.. Marvin himself a few days
ago nailed up a fence post almost on
the spot where the body was found.
There was no body there then.
Frank and Oliver P~leasanton and
Howard Marvin had searched over the
spot on their hands and knees three
weeks ago. So did Detective Simmons.
They declare they could not have
missed even an egg.
Hundreds of farmers, detectives and
newspaper men had searched owe the
ground foot by foot day after day. 1t
seems incredible that the body could
have been there and not have been
found.
Marvin Grateful to Public.
There is little for me to say" said
DR.. Marvin. IN my hour of great
gloom and unspeakable suspense,
the who'll American people par
ticularly the press of the country, to
which / cannot express thanks enough,
labored night n day to find my boy.
He is found now, the same little BOY,
the same little clothing we bundled up
for him on that bitter cold day in
which he went to play in the hay
stack.
The awful horror Of not knowing,
day or night, where the little fellow
was, whether in torture or p~rivation,
is now upon US. If his life had been
taken in the peace of God or by foul
hands afraid of the death penalty for
k%idnaping, e that is a matter for
the state of Delaware to consider, not
for me-"

Horace N. Marvin, jr., died
March 4, 1907, aged 3 years and 10
months"

=.
This simple inscription was placed
upon the casket of the little son
Of Dr.. H. N. Marvin, who disappeared
from his home near kits Hammock
just two months ago.
Funeral services We're conducted in

State A%bandons Crime Idea.
Immediately upon the finding of the
body the machinery Of the state and
county was started to discover the
cause of death If possible. Accidental
death with peculiar surrounding cir
cumstances probably will be the YER
dict. Coroner Joseph Galloway impan-
eled a jury n testimony was taken.
Fully 500 farmers and others swarmed
around the small building, anxious to
look at the features of the little boy.
The face was hardly recognizable from
the familiar pretty portrait with which
the country was flooded, for it was
much swollen.
DR.. Marvin, looking wan II feeble,
was worn to identify the body as that
Of his son, and he was the only wit
ness. The jury next marched across
the big wheat field to the point where
the body was found. 1t was this trip
which raised in the minds of many a
doub a to the accident theory, and
the distance as measured proved to be
1,760 feet on an air line. Why little
Horace should nave crossed this field,
a ditch about four feet deep then
through a wire fence and on into the
bog, was most mystifying.
Public Not Satisfied.
Many refus to believe hiatt he did dc
this. Added to this fact were the state
nents of numerous farmers who aided
IN the search that they had traversed,
after the disappearance, the identical
point where the body was found. A
measurement OF the water showed
seven inches. while a few feet ava,
there was a much deeper hole. The
farmers said there was not so much
water there when the search was made
and pointed out to the jurors that the
heavy rain of last Friday night &C.
counted for the large amount now.
This very fact, however. supplied ar
argument for those who hold thai the
child became bewildered and wandered
away from the house. The large pre-.
cipitation, they say tended to float the
body and wash it from the hole where
it had lain SO long.

was set at liberty to meet the call OF
