county. Approximately ten squirrel
dens will be erected in the woods
this fall.
II the club directors can locate a
game farm that can supply squir-
rels yet this year, the new reserves
will be given a good start by re-
leasing several pairs of fox squirrels
in each.
At present the club now maintains
and manages six game reserves
which range from IA to 40 acres
each. These are the Roy Rogers re-
serve of 40 acres; Bluffton College
campus, 80 acres; Howard Rickly
reserve, Is acres; Ezra Moser re-
serve, IA acres; and the two new re-
serves, the Andrew Gratz reserve,
16 acres, and Ivan Montgomery re-
serve of 15 acres.
A continuous feeding program is
maintained at the College game re-
serve and at present the squirrels
and wild life there consume on the
average of five bushels of ear corn
every three weeks. This wooded
area has three feeding stations which
will hold better than a bushel of
corn each and the club has erected
approximately 80 artificial dens in
the area. The refuge is managed
by Russell A. Lantz.

Three Agencies Confirm
Woman Died Of Rabies

Health Officer George C. Rutland
yesterday announced that the Dis
trict Health Department laboratories
as well as the United States Public
Health Service and the Bureau of
Animal Industry of the Agriculture
Department have submitted reports
which confirm the diagnosis of
hydrophobia in the death of Mrs.
Estelle Kirby, who died at Gallinger
Hospital on March II. Mrs. Kirby
was bitten by a dog which attacked
her near the Shoreham Hotel al
most five months ago.
Her death was the second since
the epidemic started last spring.
DR.. Rutland again warned the
public not to allow dogs to roam in
an uncontrolled manner, as he re-
ported a total Of q rabid dogs dis
covered since January /, 1914. A
large proportion of them were found
in the Northwest section. A total of
131 rabid dogs have been found in
the entire city since last spring.
DR.. Rutland said that in view of
the manpower shortage it is impos-
sible to handle the situation without
the fullest public cooperation,
