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.
James McPharlin of O’Neill in cap
tain of the east district of the county
and Mose Campbell of Atkinson of
the western one. The executive com
mittee for the eastern district is M.
F. 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.
