YEOMEN WILL HAVE
WILD GAME HUNT
W. J. Tlloy, district organizer for the
Yeomen, who is never satisfied unless
"something is doing," in local Yeomen
lodge circles, is now engaged In stag
ing a big three-day hunt for prairie
chickens, wild ducks, rabbits and coy
otes, in which it is expected that at
least two hundred and fifty people will
participate. Teams and captains, will
bo chosen find members of the two
teams will be directed to go forth and
kill as much wild game as possible
tho more tho better, for all the game
killed will be used In a banquet that
will follow tho hunt, this big "feed"
to bo held on the evening of the 28th.
With his customary gallantry, Mr.
Tlley will not bar tho ladles from the
hunt; In fact he will urge all Yeomen
Indies to join In tho hunt, and as thoy
are of the genial class that is always
ready for a good time, tho representa
tion of ladles on the teams promises
to bo large.
This hunt, though not suggested
until Wednesday, is attracting much
interest in Yeomen circles, and as
thero are nearly 500 members of tho
lodge In this city It is believed that at
least 125 can bo secured for each team.
If prairie chickens, wild ducks rab
bits and coyotes only knew that this
force was to bo sent out against
them there would certainly? bo an
early migration of wild game from
Lincoln county.
