HANCOCK COUNTY
Switchman Is Fatally
Crushed Between Cars

Donald G. Reaman, 33, father of
six small children, was killed in
stantly when he was crushed be-
tween a tank car and a box car in
the National Refinery company's
switchyard in Findlay. Mr.. Reaman
had been a switchman on the Nickel
Plate railroad since 1899.
1t is believed he became confused
momentarily and threw a switch the
wrong way. The backing train, in
stead of going down straight sid
ing to pick up a standing car some
distance down the track, took the
switch and rammed into cars parked
on an adjoining siding. Reaman,
hanging to the end of the moving
car was caught in the crash.

Fox Raids Chicken Coop

Melvin Zimmerly recently discover
ed fox in the act of slaughtering a
hen in the poultry coop at his farm.
The fox escaped and Zimmerly was in
the act of putting the badly mangled
chicken out of its misery when an
other fox darted from a wood pile To-
Gated near the coop. Several other
foxes have been reported in the same
area this year. 1t looks like we will
have to make plans for that fox hunt
this spring!
Conservation officers over the state
are getting worried over the fox
situation and officers are urging that
steps be taken to carry out an eradi-
cation program.
Our good friend Ollie Neimeyer,
game protector from Marion County,
informs us that 142 foxes were killed
in that county during 1914, and more
than 80 in the past Is days. He says
clubs must get to work and carry
on an active campaign to destroy
predators of game, for with this ice
on the ground game has a hard time
escaping from attacks of hawks and
foxes. In his opinion pheasant shoot
ing is on the decline for he feels there
were many more birds in past years.

CONSERVATION AFFAIRS
Happenings Affecting Woods Waters and Wildlife
BY THE BLuFFToN COMMUNITY sPoRTsMEN's CLUB INC

J predators in our area. Seems every
year at this time hig hawks from
Canada winter" in our area and
feast on the game supply here.
Local nimrods delight in knocking
off these rascals and the past year
over dozen club members partici-
pated in the hawk and crow elimina-
tion program sponsored by the club.
During the winter months is the best
time to bag these birds for they are
here in seemingly unlimited numbers.
the hunters report.
Last year in the contest sponsored
by the club bounties were paid on
80 hawks. In addition rs more
hawks killed by Russell Montgomery
and Wilbur Niswander were bumped
off before the contest started.
Seventeen crow heads were also
turned in and approximately 60 ad-
ditional crows were killed before the
contest started by the same two sharp
shooters.
Since the first of the year 41 hawk
heads have been turned in and 19
crow heads, so the control program is
starting off with "bang" with every
indication there will be a great deal
more cooperation and interest this
year.
Last year the following members
participated in the contest: Luke
Lugibihl, James Ewing, Russell Leib-
er, Allen Burkholder, Henry Green,
Irwin Amstutz, Ernest Basinger, Bert
Lugibill, Russell Montgomery and
Wilbur Niswander.
Last years contest was managed by
Harold Montgomery, club director in
charge of predator control. Commit
teemen assisting him were Jess Man
ges, Russell Montgomery, and Wilbur
Niswander.
Plans are under way to have an
other contest this year and there is
a possibility foxes will be included
under the bounty paid by the club.
Russell Montgomery has been elected
as club director in charge of the pred
ator control program.
Other conservation activity the past
week includes the feeding of 6 fox
squirrels making their home in the
trees at the rear of the Readrite
plant. Jess and Charles Manages look
after these small charges at frequent
intervals and keep their feeding sta
ton well supplied with grain.
Ralph Badertscher and his children
operate bird feeder at their home
on South Jackson street. The young
sters are more than delighted to see
a pair of robins feeding at the sta
ton regularly. Russell Montgomery
keeps a platform feeder well supplied
with ear corn near the Jess Anderson
farm. Several squirrels dine at the
station and are fed regularly on
banquet of walnuts, peanuts, pecans,
as well as plenty of ear corn. Jess
also takes an interest in the wildlife
