Caught Sixteen Hawks in Three
Steel TRAPS.


]. w. Colliver, of 1 1-2 miles north
of this city, is making war on the
chicken hawks which infest. his
neighborhood, and within the last ten
days has caught sixteen of the big
birds in steel traps. =,
Mr.. C0tflVer's plan is unique and
displays considerable ingenuity. In
substance, it is as follows: Selecting
a high or conspicuous spot in mead
ow, he stakes out either live chick
en- or rabbit. Around the chicken or
rabbit, and just out of reach, are set
three steel traps, laid in the shape
of a triangle, these are tied to stakes
with chains about six feet in length.
When Mr.. Hawk alights to get the
chicken or rabbit, the chances are ten
to one that he will walk directly into
one of the traps, and then his chicken.
catching days are over. Two birds
have been caught at once in the same
trap.
Mr.. Colliver informs us that in Ken
lucky, where he formerly lived, he
once caught a hawk in this manner
measuring seven feet from tip to tip
Of wing.
