ALL KANSAS HAS

Tens Of Thousands Of Bun.
MES OverfuD That State

Topeka, kans., December 1.-THE
poor of Kansas need not worry much
about the meat problem this winter
RABBITS by the millions will be turned
over to them as the result of the
8reaest crop Of cotton-tails and jacA-
rabbits the state has known since the
pioneer days.
In the eastern counties big rabbit
hunts, in which from fifty to 300 per-
sons participate are being held daily.
In nearly every case the hunters take
sides, the side killing the fewest rab-
bits paying for an oyster super Or
some other form of entertainment for
the side killing the most.
In hunt near Princeton, ten miles
south of Ottawa, 1885 rabbits were
killed, one boy alone killing ninety
three. In a hunt in Franklin county
few days later $50 rabbits were
killed, and in still another more than
800 were killed. In Berton county
thirty-two men killed 872 jackrabbits
and nearly 100 cotton-tails. Hunt
ers say that the rabbits are so thick
that the winters huning will make
little diminutiOn in the number.
