Irvington Jack Rabbit Hunt Nets Two-Squad Victory
Last week in Irvington a December 10 game killing contest divided about forty men into two squads led by M E B Johnson and H A Lewis. The entry scores favored Lewis by 8 points though no wolves were killed within time. Johnson had killed one wolf too soon to count. The losing side hosted a supper for the victors with many visitors as Mrs Fed Campbell and other cooks provided ample fare. Johnson led by scoring more points than any other participant. Hurrah for Irvington citizens tackling jack rabbits to break the holiday monotony.
