RATS DIE AS
HUNT GOES ON
Annual Hunt In Progress In
Howard For Rodents
TEAM OF NORTH LEADS
First Count Next Monday
Night; Enthusiasm Run
ming High

HOWARD, Nov. 23-The rat hunt
in Howard township is on in full
swing
Stories are being circulated every.
where of the death Of numbers of the
rodents, but the north side the side
which is composed of inhabitants of
the residences north of the Coshocton
road through Howard township, Is
ahead of the south side by approx.
matcly 800 "tails"-the tails being
cut off each rat to show credit for the
littlo beast.
The hunt, which is an annual af.
fair in Howard township, was begun
one week ago Monday when an or
gani2ation meeting of both teams was
held in Howard and the captains we're
chosen. Those who are at the head
of the teams are Clyde Ulery, captain
OF the north, and Claude Penhorwood,
captain of the south.
Ferrets, dogs and traps are all in
evidence in connection with the hunt
and enthusiasm, as ever, is the com.
manding General at the head of both
armies of men and boys bent on the
destruction OF the obnoxious rodents.
l.. G. Simpson, who was chairman
of the organization last year, was
chosen again this year as the chief
pXCtutiNp of thp hunt
A count will he held every week
until the hunt is concluded, probably
sometime during the holidays. The
first count was to have been held last
Monday night, but on account OF
some things which were interfering
elements, the first count was held ov.
er until next Monday when the two
teams will compare tails
The winning team will be served
with great banquet by tho losing
side at the conclusion of the hunt.
The hunt has not taken on its huge
and intensive phase as yet and prob
ably the men and boys will not so
cut during working hours until
near the end when enthusiasm will
run to the highest pitch and when
the final count will reveal who are
the fortunate ones.
