SQUIRREL HUNT OF LONG AGO
Ohio Farmers, in 1922, Slaughtered
Nearly Twenty Thousand, and
the Others Fled.

At the dedication of monument to
Ludwig Sells and his wife in the Dub
lin cemetery in Franklin county, Ohio,
Rev. Byron r. Long gave an interest
ing account of the great squirrel hunt
of September, 1922, which was said to
have ended the serious depredations
of the squirrels in the fields of the
farmers there.
The Columbus Gazette of August 20,
1922, referred to the great damage be-
ing done by squirrels and published an
address to the farmers suggesting a
county squirrel hunt The farmers of
several townships were asked to Sc
lect representatives to make the ar
rangements.
The preliminary meeting, says the
Columbus Dispatch, was held. One of
the delegates from Washington town
ship, in which Dublin is located, was
Peter Sells, son of Ludwig Sells
The hunt was held and the farmers
turned out in mass, spending two or
three days in slaughtering the squir-

a total of 1880 skins, but as many of
the hunters failed to report the mum
Der shot by them the total was no
doubt really in excess of that
Still this number, great as it was,
would not in itself have had any very
great effect on the damage done by the
squirrels. But the pioneers tell Of a
great migration by the squirrels fol
lowing the raid.
The little animals moved like ants,
in countless droves, going straight
ahead and turning aside for no OBJ
stacle. They went over precipices and
swan rivers in their persistent course.
They seemed to be in command of
some leader and obeyed without fear
of ordinary enemies.-New York Sun,

in 1884 to nominate a candidate for
Judge of the Superior Court, tri-
bunal created by the Legislature to
tighten the labors of the Court of
Appeals, to which it was inferior.
After the most riotous proceedings
Judge Barbour, of New Castle, was
nominated over Judge NJ. c. Saufley,
of Stanford, whose supporters held
separate convention and nominated
him.-(Judge Saufey refused to ac-
cept such nomination, however, and
give his support to Barbour.)
The trouble started when Gen.
John Rodman, strong Barbour adj
herent, who presided as chairman,
refused to allow the Saufey people
any representation on the Commit
tee on Credentials, holding that 'to
the victors belonged the spoils." At
times the trouble in the convention
promised to become serious. The
Saufley men made their threats that
they would forcibly depose Chairman
Rodman and he was thereupon sur
rounded by determined Barbour sup
porters and for a time it looked as
if there would be bloodshed, as
knives and pistols were indiscrimi-
nately drawn and fiourished, the con-
vention all the time being in the
widest disorder, with many of the
delegates fleeing from the hall in an
ticipation of a general trough house"
and gun-play accompaniment. In
this respect it was a more stormy
gathering than the Goebel conven-
ton.
The outcome between Barbour and
Saufey turned on the disposition of
the contest over the votes of Larue
county, which both claimed. Hav-
ing organized the convention, the
Barbour people used their advantage
and without much ceremony proceed
ed to appropriate Larue votes, which
gave their candidate the nomination.
Judge Barbour was elected and serv-
ed until the Superior Court was
abolished.
Among the prominent Louisville
politicians of that day who were
prominent figures in the Lebanon
convention were Col. John H. Whal-
len, Maj. Ed Hughes, Jack Mellet,
Charlie Kremer and ]. Sci Miller,
who died a short time ago. Miller
lost one of his eyes during the melee
by being struck with tobacco stick
and to escape being more roughly
handled he was compelled to ride
home to Louisville on an engine.
