City Pays 10 Cents Kach for Rats.

Seattle, Wash.—Bounty on four hundred rats, the catch of one day this week by the bounty squad, was paid by tbe city at the rat laboratory. Driven out of tbe brush bulkhead near the Moran Shipyard by excessive high tides, the animals sought shelter along the water front, and were trapped and poisoned by the men who make their livelihood from the bounty of 10 oents per head for all rats brought to the laboratory.
