Sheriff Jones "Un-Proud" Owner Of A Lady Rabbit Sheriff Albert Jones was, late Friday, the "un-proud" owner of a lady rabbit which is being swapped by the American Legion in a membership drive.

Once the sheriff gets a member, he can turn the beast over to some other membership getter, if that person hasn't ben "inoculated" by getting a membership since May 10. The contest is running fast.
