"A party of Lancaster nimrods
went down south of the city several
miles. Friday, TO hunt rabbits and
succeeded in bagging satisfactory
number of the festive cotton tails.
Returning in the evening, tired and
elated over their success, they failed
to pay much attention to the rear end
of the sleigh, in which the guns had
been placed. The end gate of the
sleigh had in some way got loosened
and in going up one of the hills the
guns slid out unobssrved into the road
and were not missed until the party
arrived home. A lively search was
instituted and the missing fire arms
were finally found. they having been
picked up and cared for by James E.
Baltic. OF course the hunters are
having all kinds of insinuations poked
at them and so far as The Herald is
concerned their identity shall remain
a dark secret.
