Repulse Violent Attack of Aus
trians at Monte Tomba in
North Italy

ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
ITALY. Nov. 24.-(By
Associated Press.)-The battle in the
mountains is today raging with un-
exampled violence. The Italians
again hold Monte Tomba and Monte
Persica positions. which they claim
were lost last night. The losses have
been very great. but they enemy's
far exceed those OF the Italians.
On the outcome of the mountain
battle depends the result OF the en-.
emy's great effort to break through
the Italian lines to the Venetian
plains. The recapture OF the positions
OF Monte Tomba and Monte Persica
was accomplished with succession of
brilliant charges which dyed the
SHOWS red and left the ground covered
with the enemy dead.

MAY HUNT RABBITS
WITHOUT LICENSE

II is not against the law to kill
jackrabbits at any time and for this
reason no license to hunt them is re-
quired. according to an opinion given
TO Dick Bender, leader among the In.
dians, by Deputy Attorney General
Patrick. Since the Indians of Ormsby
county were denied hunting licenses
because they stood on their rights as
aliens under the ruling of the provost
marshal-general in interpreting their
status in connection with conscriptive
service, they have been shy of game
The ruling of the encouragement
however. will permit them to stock VI
their larders with rabbits.

RABBITS MEET

Metropolis And Wells People
Slaughter Pests BY
....r Hundreds

Inc people Oh san francisco Will
soon be eating rabbits raised on the
/ sweet crops belonging to the farmers
at Metropolis carload of the bun
nies being under process of loading
today for shipment to commission
firms of the bay city.
A drive was held in the Metropolis
country last Wednesday afternoon.
Invitations had been given to the peo-
pie of Wells TO attend the drive and
assist in exterminating the most de.
structive pest known in these latter
days. The stores in Wells all closed
their doors during the, afternoon and
over hundred men, boys and young
ladies motored out and met two hun.
dred or more residents of the district
surrounding Metropolis at the appoint
ed place. After stringing out some
10 or 20 feet apart the drive began.
The fields and uncleared sagebrush
land traversed by the drivers was lit
orally alive with rabbits OF all sizes,
colors and breeds. The large white
Belgian hare predominated. All of
the rabbits were in prime condition,
and will make excellent stews for the
people of San Francisco. II was es-
timated that fully 1900 bunnies were
killed. AS was to be expected. many
of the rabbits took "A chance for their
lives and ran back through the human
line, making good their escape. The
dash of the rabbits for freedom and
life was greatly enjoyed by the driv-
ers, affording them great sport. At
the terminus of the drive a doven
wire rabbit fence had been erected
and corrals made, into which the rab-
bits focked like sheep were put to
death, clubs being the weapons used
in dispatching them. It was hugh
| sport and the antics of some of the
drivers were extremely laughable
A few minor accidents occurred dur
ing the drive. One of those injured
was E. o. Raymond. He was chasing
particularly agile rabbit which was
L. Peltier and Max Meharg were after
the same rabbit, and as Mr.. Raymond
struck at the frightened animal with

Mr.. Raymond received the full force
of both blows on his left hand, inflict
ing very painful, but not serious
bruises, necessitating the bandaging
of the hand.
Bishop Sim Woolf made short
speech. touching on the destructive
ness of "Brer Rabbit" and thanked
the Wellsites for their interest in the
welfare OF their Metropolis neighbor:
and assistance in making so success

nounced that another drive woult
