was selected and the dates of July 14th.

reason for this move is stated to be
that the board of directors feared too

Hard on Bunny.

The snow storm worked fearful deci-
nation on the rabbit population OF this
section of the country, so great being
the slaughter Of the helpless cotton tails
that rabbit is now a comparatively
rare sight. The market became so
glutted that local buyers paid ouly 2
cents per rabbit, aud at most other
points the price dropped to one cent
indeed at Golden City every buyer but
one positively refused to take them at
any price. More than one person hore.
abouts succeed in catching dozens Of
rabbits by merely stepping on them in
the snow. Bunny's unfortunate habit
of burrcwing in the snow made him
easy prey.
1t would be good thing il every body
could be persuaded to let tho rabbits
alone when their value falls below b
cents To kill them when they are az
cheap as they have been the past week
is simply needless slaughter, and pro
fits nobody.
Hammond Bros. shipped about five
thousand rabbits while tho heavy snow
lasted, most OF them coming in Tuesday
and Wednesday of last week.
