The Thanksgiving snow storm,
which was the earliest in this section
| in II years, was responsible for the
greatest slaughter of rabbits ever
known so early in the season in
Orange and Sullivan counties. It
is estimated that over 1000 rabbits
have been killed in these counties in
the past two days. Saturday morn
ing two hunters from Middletown
shot 25 rabbits within two hours,
and another man got eight rabbits
and fox without using either gun
or dog. John Dorgan, an aged resi-
dent of Rockville, who has never
shot a gun in his life, started out to
get a rabbit for dinner. He carried
a pick and shovel with the idea of
tracking a rabbit to a hole in the
ground and digging it out, He sue
ceeded in finding rabbit tracks and
traced them to hole. After dig
ging for half an hour he came upon
red fox which he killed with a
blow with the pick. Certain that
there was also rabbit in the hole
he kept on digging, and finally dis
covered eight of the furry animals
tightly jammed in the hole.-Pitts-
