-. CRY MORTALS.
Not quite all the rabbits were cap
tured by the people who were drumming
up supplies for the Fair Grounds Hasen-
pfetfer. This the Turner Jaegers proved
to their satisfaction last Sunday when
they made drive in the vicinity of
Swan Lake and Cambria and started
up enough of the feet-footed Dummies
to total nearly forty. It was planned
to continue the hunt yesterday after
noon but the Review goes to press too
early to report the success of this second
invasion of the haunts of the cottontail.
It is sufficient to state, however, that
when the Hasenpfeffer is served up at
Turner Hall Club Rooms next Saturday
evening, there will be enough to satisfy
all Corners.
The valiant Jaegers assembled at
Turner Hall early Sunday morning and
made their getaway shortly after 8
o'clock. There were four autos at hand
to convey the warriors in right modern
method of warfare, Major Albert Pfaen-
der furnishing one, .'Bibs' Everling a
second, the Hauensteins the third and
the overflow were loaded onto the big
Nagel truck. In all there were about
twenty-five hunters.
The first drive was made at Swan Lake.
The Dummies seemed to be somewhat
scarce as a number of the hunters had
secured that country the preceding
Sunday. It was decided to make a
quick cleanup of that section and,
after satisfying appetites, to move on
to the. neighborhood Of Cambria. The
Commissary Department did not fall
in with this plan quite SO heartily as the
hunters desired and q protest was
registered with, them when the hungry
ri1emen returned and found that dinner
had progressed just about as far as when
they left. The Conmissary Depart
ment had a perfectly good excuse, how
ever, which the hunters accepted and
which it is none of the general public's
business to know.
Another drive was made following the
lunch and before leaving the Swan Lake
territory. In all, nearly twenty rabbits
were garnered in this neck of the woods
and then the start made for Cambria
via CORTLAND. The big truck evidently
had consumed too much s'eats'' or
liquid refreshment, for it obstinately
refused to bulge and declared it's in
tention of INDUCING in post-prandial
nap in the rut where it stood. It was
here that the Commissary Department
gloriously retrieved it's error by coming
to the assistance of the stranded Jaegers
and with the assistance of the Everling
auto persuaded the truck that there
was more fun in going ahead than there
was in staying behind.
Several drives were made about
Cambria and about score more rabbits
fell victims of the hasenpfefer-hungry
crowd. Tales are told of one and
another of the hunters who distinguished
themselves with particularly bold and
daring stunts but mo serious accidents
occurred to enliven the hunt. There
was considerable excitement when Hugo
Schleuder climbed a tree to look for
rabbits, he said, and lost his balance and
came down, considerably faster than he
had gone up. However, he did not
leave his wits sticking among the branches
when he lost his balance but hung onto
them and his gun at the same time, thus
preventing it's falling and being dis
charged. In doing this his little finger
was caught in the trigger of the gun and
the nail was torn loose, making quite
an unpleasant wound tho not serious
one. August Mueller, superintendent at
the local municipal plant, was rebuked
for his evident preference for squirrels
and was reminded that he was expected
to look for rabbits and not for tree
jewellers. The party got home about
six O'Clock, ready for their civilized
dinners, prepared by their individual
Commissaries.
The present plan to, dispose Of the
rabbits is to have them prepared for
big feast to be given at Turner Hall next
Saturday evening. There will be q.
dance but the affair is not being arranged
for the general public. The members
Of the Society and Of the Turner Hall
Club Tub viii y make up the greater number
Of the guests. saltho q few Others viii
receive special invitations. ;s. N. II
