NO OPEN SEASON ON
PRAIRIE CHICKENS
(Norfolk News.)
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 23—A word of
warning went out yesterday to Ne
braska sportsmen in advance of the
hunting season.
Contrary to belief in certain quar
ters, Frank O’Connell, state game
warden, asserted there will be no
open season this fall for shooting
either prairie chickens of grouse.
Nor will the season be opened
again uneil October 15, 1931, and will
only be open on each uneven year
thereafter in compliance with recent
ly' revised game laws.
Heretofore, O’Connell explained,
the season for hunting these birds
has been each fall from October 1 to
November 1, but now a penalty of a
$25.00 fine and $10.00 damages for
each bird shot awaits hunters who
ignore the law.
Warden O’Connell also announced
today that instead of a more extend
ed field of operations for hunters
of pheasant this fall, the territory
may be more limited than last year.
Of nine counties which permitted
this hunting last year, but one, Val
ley, has indicated a willingness to
open the season this fall. Four other
counties, however, Nance. Morrill,
Knox and Boone, may be opened, he
said.
“MUST CUT THE WEEDS”
SAYS CHIEF OF POLICE
Chief of Police, Scott Hough, is
authority for the statement that the
weeds along the streets of O’Neill
must be cut or they will be cut by the
City and the costs charged to the
property owners. Weeds along the
city streets must also be cut at once.
The County Fair will start one of
these days in the near future and we
want our city to make a creditable
appearance at that time. Streets that
are filled with weeds are not indi
cative of progress.
Let’s get rid of the weeds and
make a better impression on the
traveling public.
