OF 10000 PEST NEAR HOLDMAN

There are about 1000 less rabbits

of highly successful drive conduct

semi-circle extending over two miles.
drove the little rabbits before them
toward the corral on the John Kerr
place and slaughtered them with
clubs once they were penned in be,
yoni escape.
The drive itself lasted about an hour.
Between eight and nine this morning,
number of automobiles left Pen
dleton laden with men eager to assist
the farmers in Kidding their land of
pests. BY 1890 there were "a auto
mobiles. the Waffle auto-truck. a
number of motorcycles and dozens OF
wagons and buggies assembled near
tho Kerr ranch and the small army
of men were divided into two sec
tions. One. under the command OF
George Hartman, made a long detour
while the other maneuvered above the
Kerr place to cut off the retreat in
that direction.
Wings of wire fence had been
thrown out for half mile on each
side of the corral and the rabbits
were headed toward these wings.
AS the line drew in closer. the hill
sides were dotted with the hopping
rabbits. With wild yells and swing
ing clubs, the drivers chased the lit
tie animals toward their fate. Occas.
ionally one would dodge past the line
In spite OF all Of the efforts of the
drivers and toward the end Of the
drive. probably a hundred or more
made their escape In this manner.
AS the two divisions came together
they formed almost a solid phalan,
and the rabbit that tried to penetrat,
1t to freedom generally fell before Q
club. The end Of the drive was veri
table scene of carnage. Clubs fel
thick and fast and the yells of tn.
men were mingled with the dying
squeals OF the rabbits.
