KILL CHICKENS
AFTER MISSING BUNNY

According to Samuel Curlett. who
occupies the Craven farm on the
Philadelphia pike at the top Of Penny
Hill, Wilmington marksmen are poor
shots. The assertion Is based on the
fact that one lone cotton tail there
has almost exhausted the gunners
ammunition. Curlett. himself, admits
having ceased shooting at the bunny.
This rabbit which Curlett sees every
morning has been shot at time and
time again.
In speaking Of the careless manner
of the gunners Mr. Curlett declared
they had no respect for private pro-
perty or lie and recently two gum
ners had fired into a hedge near his
house without ascertaining whether
child, horse, COW or chicken was
behind It, Luckily there were none.
but at times the gunners fire into a
flock Of chickens, killing many.

An investigation disclosed a fire

they did good work, combining this
blaze to the vacant house, which was
destroyed Chief Ainscow Is OF the
opinion that the house fire was in
cendiary.
