Colliver, of 1 1-2 miles north of this city, is making war on the chicken hawks which infest his neighborhood, and within the last ten days has caught sixteen of the big birds in steel traps. Mr. Colliver’s plan is unique and displays considerable ingenuity. In substance, it is as follows: Selecting a high or conspicuous spot in a mead- ow, he stakes out either a live chick- en or rabbit. Around the chicken or rabbit, and just out of reach, are set three steel traps, laid in the shape |ofa triangle, these are tied to stakes with chains about six feet in length. When Mr. Hawk alights to get the chicken or rabbit, the chances are ten to one that he will walk directly into one of the traps, and then his chicken- catching days are over. Two birds have been caught at once in the same trap. Mr. Colliver informs us that in Ken- tucky, where he formerly lived, he once caught a hawk in this manner measuring seven feet from tip to tip of wing. Important Notice to L. 0. 0. F.
