KILLED OVER 12,500 SPARROWS

EUGENE McINTYRE IS THE CHAMPION.

Today He Presented Orders For $250 To The County Clerk.

Eugene McIntyre seems to be about the champion sparrow hunter of Washtenaw county. He makes a business of capturing these birds for the bounty which the county pays. Today he stepped into the county clerk's office and presented orders for $250.62. Of this amount $161.10 is charged up to Dexter, $63.74 to Webster and $25.78 to Northfield. This makes, at the rate of two cents per head, over 12,500 sparrows he has killed this summer and fall.
