Rnhhit Drive A Eailurp

The rabbit drive on Agency Plains
ou the 18th and 18th was a failure,
according to the Madias Pioneer,
which says:
The rabbit hunt which was held last
Monday and Tuesday was not an en-
tire su cess end for several reasons.
One was that there were not enough
people on hand to effectually coria al
the rabbits, probably not more than
100 persons all told turning out 1t
was thought by some that it was at
tempted to cover too much territory
aud that too long drives we're made,
giving the rabbits many opportunities
to dodge back and escape through the
line of drivers Another Ieasun wac

teristics CT hog and sometimes abso.
lutely refuses to be driven. On these
occasions 1t was generally the signal
for some OF the drivers to get excited
aud throw stones, sticks, or hailoo 50
that the rabbits would lec me be-
wildered, with the result il.B nle oi
them would dodge this way 1hi that
and eventually elude the 40 Of diivs
ers.
The rabbits also seemed to have a
presentiment of the snow storm which
reached this section Tuesday night
and had congregated in places whei g
they would te most sheltered from
the elements, and from these recesses
it was almost impossible to remove
them any distance Something like
300 rabbits are estimated to have been
killed during the drives made on the
two days. Several Indians came over
from the reservation aud helped with
the drive, and large percent of the
rabbits slain we're appropriated by
item.
The ranchers are not discouraged by
the apparently small number Of jacks
killed at this drive, but will meet
again December %, near the John
Trotter place in Sagebrush Springs
vicinity. 1t is probable that with the
experience gained at the last drive
they will ernake a more wholesale
slaughter OF the rabbits than rewarded
their efforts during the drive the
first OF the week.
