Another reason for supporting the kidnapping theory was Price story to fellow patrolmen that his was forced off the \ighway last Friday by another car containing Carl Shelton, lead- er of the gang, who talked to him for some time.

Bakerafleld, Calif., Jan. 31 (UP) —Met by trench ‘warfare dealing death to thousands of their broth. ers and sisters, the vagabond mice of Kern county today were fighting a losing battle. Weakened by the long hike from their old home in the Buena Vista lake basin which recently became flooded, forcing them into the low- lands, the mice, still millions strong, were falling before the cunning of their human opponents. Having bowled over cats, birds and light vehicles in their invasion, mice had become hungry through unaccustomed exercise. Hence the county authorities lured the army of Rodentia to self-de- |struction by strewing poison grain in a deep trench dug to stop the advance. It had become a fight to the death between mouse and caterpil- lar, the latter being a tractor. The tractors have dug trenches between the advancing horde and Bakersfield. The trenches have been fllled with food highly spiced by' poisons. Succumbing to their appetites some of the mice have tasted and died. Scenting that destruction might attend dinner in the trenches, some battalions turned and fled. The mice were packed so thickly that large areas of ground appear as a crawling, gray mass. Chlorine gas will be used today in an effort further to despoil the morale of the rodents. They are dying 8o quickly that the anti-mice brigade can not burn the dead fast enough and in places huge piles are polluting the alr. Bakersfleld, Cal, Jan 21 (P— Townspeople in four Kern county cities hoped for rain last night to drown hordes of Invading mice. defense agalnst migrating thousands of the rodents, but Whit Barber, horticultural commissioner, believed the effect would be to hasten the the Buena Vista lake lowlands, un- less floods drown the mice in whole- sale numbers.

POISON GAS AND ~ POISON FOOD TURNING BACK MICE NEWINGTON NEWS ‘The meetings of the Newington Congregational church and the Ec- clesiastical society of the church which have been called for 7 and 8 o'clock respectively, Saturday, at the parish house, have caused a great deal of discussion as to the necessity of combining the two or- ganizations and the advantages to be derived therefrom. As the situation now stands, the two are separate. It is a roundabout and cumbersome method of doing business and is a relic of the Colo- nial days. Any matter of importance must be passed by each organiza- tion separately. All members of the church are not members of the so- ciety. There are over 360 members of the church and only about 50 of the soclety. It is even possible to be a member of the soclety, have a voice in the business affairs of the church and yet not be a member of that church. Charles W. Belden and E. Welles Eddy have been appointed by the | society to look into the matter of uniting and the church has ap- pointed Mrs. Chas. 'R. Emmons and Charles L. Luce for the same pur- pose. These four persons will make reports at the respective meetings and make recommendations as to future action. The meetings are being held with the idea that the matter can be talked over and a tentative plan of action mapped out provided senti- ‘ment is in favor of taking steps to combine the church with the socle- ty. Nothing will be done in the way of decisive action since the calls would not cover such action. The project must have a two- thirds vote in order to pass. Thera is a great deal of sentiment in tavor of the proposed action but there are those who still- think the old method is the better of the two.
