game of shinney. ALI kinds of
stunts were performed. One hunt
er hollered Shinney on your own
side;' another swung for an up
porcut to the chin of one big
fellow as he ran the guantlet,
missing him entirely and killing
two others with the same swing !;
one fellow picked up a big club
but deciding it was too heavy
threw it down into the grassland
killed a rabbit! Some of the rab
bits swan across the channel but
two fellows beat them to it and
picked them off like picking
gooseberries off a bush when they
came to shore.
There were So people in the
drive and when the war was over
all walked back to stcfen 8 hoa-c
and after consuming 20 gallons
of iced lemonade served by the
ladies, sat down in the shade On
the lawn to compare notes. ALI
were well satisfied with the day.
Dad Romans said he shot six
boxes Of shells and could have
used four more; Paul Schicka
shot so fast all afternoon that the
charges of shot were not more
than four inches behind each
other; Nitzsche's shoulder was so
sore he wouldn't talk; Miles
couldn't walk any more and used
his gun for a cane; Woods apol-
ogized for not shooting, saying
his wife had the gun and that
she knocked the rabbits for
row CT fence posts; Henry CLAM
man was nursing some burnt fin
gers from hot gun barrels and
someone said he positively knew
that Smoots alone killed 200 rab-
bits, and Win Shaw had so many
notches on his gun stock that he
had nothing left but a hand hold.
There were plenty of cars cut
to furnish transportation for
everybody and as they departed
for their respective homes the
hunters felt it was the end of
parfect day altho there are those
who believe they can improve Gu
the next drive.
1.-The committee in charge of
the drive wishes to express its
appreciation to the merchants in
town for the lemons, sugar and
ice they contributed. 1t helped a
lot"
Bert Ranes wrote a letter
last Monday and dated it July
9th. He had been to the rabbit
drive the day before. !"
Herb Huff was at the drive
also and he says he will be out
at the next one if the soreness is
gone from his shoulder.
Negotiations are under way
with a motion picture concern to
photograph the next big drive
that is expected will be staged in
the next few weeks here. If we
could get $1,000 or less from the
movie company it would help
lot in purchasing ammunition.
