have been a rendezvous for all the
bats in that section. Their head
quarters were in the attic, but they
took possession of all the available

made in the roof and a lot of I'M
slaked lime was thrown into the at
tic, then the bats got busy. When
they came out they were killed with a
paddle. After the battle was ended
there were over 500 dead Bats.-De-
