SELL TEN TONS
OF RABBITS IN
BRIEF PERIOD
Local Dealers Supply Dis,
, trict with Vast Quanti-
ties Of Cottontails.
Washington likes rabbits.


Ten tons OF rabbits we're received on
the local market late last Friday
evening and Saturday. Yesterday af-
ternoon they had all been sold.
The large Quantity shipped here was
due to the closing of the Baltimore
market season for rabbits, and thou
sands of the long-eared cottontails,
consigned to that and other nearby
points. were diverted to this city.
Ten thousand rabbits were In the
shipments. 1t was estimated by deal
ers. Fifteen cents each was asked
for them and retail dealers bought
them eagerly.
Housewives picked 10000 shot out
of the rabbits. 1t was estimated that
$4,000 shot reposed in the dead cotton
tails.
The difference between 10000 and
10000 explains the hard objects nu-
merous citizens bit down upon in eat
ing the dish their better halves put
before them.
