Gordon Bartlett, a young Orillia district farmer, tells the tale this way . . . It seems the oversized, white rabbit has been hanging around Bartlett‘s woodâ€"4ot for some time and only recently it ventured out and bit the young farâ€" mer‘s hand. Then the other day it chased his large St. Bernard out of the bush near the woodpile. "The poor dog ran as if a timber wolf were after him instead of a mere rabbit, one tenth his size," said Gordon. "Me howled and ran with his tail between his logs while the equally startled rabbit stopped at the edge of the clearing as 1 came in sight." This story has caused a lot of amusement in Orillia , . .
