the city was turned loose last Monday on
the cOuntry-especially Glendale Our
fields and woods were over run and raid
ed of the rabbits and quail which we
farmers have cared for and fed until they
have become grown On Sunday night
the sOuth-bOund train dumped full car
load OF gunners and dogs here, a. d each
train since bas added more. One man
took two wagon loads out at one time.

measures to stop this outrage annually
1t lie absurd in the extreme, that a farm
or can not shoot game on his own land,
(fTom my standpOint), nor trap rabbits,
or send rabbits or birds to friends. Yet

Themselves down and carry it off. Just
think Of one man shooting forty birds

birds and thirty rabbits each day, and

vertlsed this is simply case OF where
the game is bought and sold for a bust

the money value it is to them but, the
slick holly thieves work in the night fire.
quently, and now large quantities are
being cut and worked into wreathes.
The business brings thousands OF dollars
