Chicago Hunters Slew 218 Rabbits. Mehrs. Albert Wagner, Peter Koch and Johan Ebbers of Chicago, spent last week at the home of Matt Neslus in east Jordan. With tire aid of their many friends in that neighborhood they succeeded in bagging 248 rabbits. The Chicago gentlemen are expart marksmen and true sportsmen. Dancing and other entertainment was enjoyed each evening. Mr. Ebbers is a noted violinist and pianist, and Mr. Wagner’s funny stories and comic sketches cannot be excelled on or off the stage. A laughable feature of the hunt was when Mr. Ebbers followed what he thought was a deer track for about two miles, and finally came upon a mule that belonged to Barney Stien. “Bunnies’ are scare in that neighborhood now. —A READER.
