ORGANIZATION IS PERFECTED FOR EAST SIDE IN BIG COUNTY CROW HUNT Holt county's big crow shoot, which starts on March 15th, and continues for forty-five days, is attracting much attention throughout the county. Not only are sportsmen taking much in terest in the campaign to rid the county of the pests, but those who never have shot a gun are also giving the drive their financial as well as moral support. Owing to extensive crow hunts in neighboring counties, the birds have fled to Holt county by the hundreds of thousands. Besides the $300 purse appropiated by the county supervisors, the mer chants of the nine towns in the county will offer individual prizes to the hunt ers and other residents of the county are subscribing money for ammuni tion. The county has been dmden mto two equal districts, the east and west. The dividing line is the range line be tween Ranges 12 and 13, which runs one and one-half miles east of Emmet. Two hundred dollars of the reward will go to the district killing the most crows during the period and one hun dred dollars to thfc losing side.

Kirwin, chairman; James Davis, J. M. Hunter, W. E. Conklin and L. C. Peters. All are of O’Neill. The western committee is yet to be select, ed. The several precinct captains will be announced in a few days. Heretofore the county has been kept fairly free of crows through the eff orts of the county game protective association, which stages spring and fall drives but they are unable to successfully cope with the infux of crows seeking refuge from the poorly aimed but loud talking scatter guns of Holt county’s neighbors.
