RABBIT PEST IN LANDER COUNTY

Rabbits are so numerous in Reese
river valley that plans are talked o.
for a movement of some kind to re-
luce their number by about ten thou
sand during the month of August.
NJ. W. Malloy has suggested that a
habit drive be pulled off after hay
ing. or about Fandango week in
Austin.
He believes that the ranchers will
come in strong in the way of financial
support. at least to the extent of pay
ing for all the ammunition required
by The men on the cunning line and
further TO provide refreshments for
the weary as they come down the val
Icy. He suggests that a line of picked
men. under strict generalship. armed
with shotguns. march in a line down
the valley. shooting as they go.
In the main road he would have
automobiles follow the fighting line,
supplied with sandwiches, coffee and
beer or whatever would best keep the
men in a fighting spirit.
It is recommended To the Fandan-
go management as a great attraction.

the text of which follows:
"On August 10. a German submarine
stopped the English steamer Dunsley
about sixteen nautical miles south OF
Kinsale and was on the point OF sink
ing the prize by gunhre after the crew
had left the vessel. At this moment
the commander saw large steamer
making directly toward him. This
steamer as developed later was the
Arabic. She was recognized as an
enemy vessel, as she did not fly any
flag and bore no neutral markings.
when she approached. she altered
her original course, but then again
pointed directly toward the submarine.
From this the commander became con
vinced that the steamer had the in
tention of attacking and ramming him
''In order TO anticipate this attack, he
gave orders for the submarine to dive
and fired torpedo at the steamer
After firing, he convinced himself that
