freak rabbit was found by john
which only had three legs and Bill
found one which had all the hair
burned off due to- firing the
gun too close In a large field MT
Longs dogs jumped rabbit which
circled around John and Bill. Nine
shots were harmlessly fired by John
and Bill. Both got disguised at their
shooting and quit the game Charles
Long told them to stand back, politely
put his gun to his shoulder and the
rabbit stopped. Getting Disguised be-
tween themselves John and Bill
started for home and left Charles
with the dogs and he bagged eight
fine rabbits. We believe il would be
a fine thing to start lead factory
