RABBIT LOADED
WITH DYNAMITE
Hunter Shot at it and is Hap
py Because He Missed

MONTCLAIR, n. j., Nov. ia rab-
bit full of dynamite Is in the woods
somewhere between Monclair Heights
and Little Falls When the news got
around among the gunners yesterday
there was a general stampede to get
out. OF the region. Many pot hunters
who were planning to go out to-mor-
row have decided to wait few days.
Two men who were out in the forest
north OF the State Normal School yes
terday afternoon saw the rabbit nib
bling at a substance that was conceal
ed from their view. one Of the hunters
fired at the rabbit, which turned and
dashed off In the woods. The hunters
then investigated and found that bum
ny had been devouring one Of twenty
four sticks of dynamite, which were
concealed in the underbrush. The ex-
plosive, the police report, was stolen
last August from j. Doristy, a con-
tractor who is cutting through Fifth
avenue in the northern part Of this
town. The sticks were taken from
a storage house. II is supposed the
thieves hid them and then forgot
where they concealed their plunder.
Twenty-three of the sticks were re-
| turned to-day to Doristy.
The wonder is that none Of the hun
dreds of gunners who have swarmed
through the woods has hit the con-
cealed dynamite with a stray shot
One shot probably would have set the
stuff off with a flash and bang and
probably the loss of the life of the
sportsman. The place has beer
trampled over, too. but luckily no one
stepped on the dynamite. AS for the
rabbit. persons in the hills were lyinl
awake last night listening for an ex
plosion. When It comes that unlucks
rabbit will probably be scattered ovei
a large section of the Jersey map.

cANTALouPE EXPERT QUITS
Expert From Rocky Ford Becomes Tired of Bucking Against the
 Commission Game.

Two seasons of growing cantaloupes for the exclusive benefit of middlemen have been enough for l.. c, Sloan, the Rocky Ford expert who came to Fl Centro in the spring of 1908 to grow early melons. The season of 1908 was unfavorable in several particulars, and all the growers suffered. Sloan lost S164 on his crop that year. This year he expected to come out ahead, as he knows how to grow melons and thinks he understands the ways of the canny distributor, He planted thirty acres, shipped $50 crates and quit shipping when the price fell. He received $160 in advance to pay for picking, and the final statement rend- cred to him showed that he owed H. Woods & Go. $9.O4 for marketing his crop.
 Sloan grew cabbages also, and he has an atrocious opinion of the busf- nes principals and methods of the OCiiii- llOplS NpIb'' l'SlNVSh Nub- bages and melons, Sloan lost $1,1QQ and two seasons labor, and this week he left for Montana to try out that region.
 This country is all right said Mr Sloan before he said adios Tt will produce anything, and it will pro duce vegetables right through the win ter. It is a great country for grow ing stuff But the commission men. the express company and the railroad get all the money When the farmers organize and refuse to be plundered, everything will come out right hav'n time to wait for them, however Look ed as if they would get together last year, but the commission men split them up too easy.
