were recently fined 2100 and costs for
killing prairie chickens Thats tho
limit
Notwithstanding tho fact however
that no game can be lawfully killed at
this time but rabbits there aro men
intelligent business men in this city
who are not observing the game law
Just why men who know the game
law and who ought to obsorvo it and
thus set a proper example to others
should year after year in this city trans
gress the game law Tiie Triijune is un
able to understand It is a moral mys
tory to us why men who are in many re
spects law abiding will sneak out into
the country trespass on the lands of
others and kill chickens and quail at
this season of the year
Tue Killing of prairio cnicKens or
quails any time for mere sport or in
wantonness is indefensible accordingly
to our code but their premature slaugh
ter out offseason and in utter defiance of
law who has the face to excuse or de
fend
Eating Oil
This is a growing and a sane idea It
is olivo oil that is becoming one of the
important foods of the world Its val
uo lies in the fact that it is all nutri
ment and is a kind of food that leaves
no harmful waste matter that results
from using other foods
Use all the olive oil you can be care
ful about tho quality only That is in
sured by coming here for it
Wo handle a special brand that is not
only absolutely pure but also of delic
ious flavor

The Mclook Lincoln Game
Over a thousand people witnessed the
game Tuesday afternoon between the
league team of Lincoln and the local ag
gregation and saw one of tho closest
and best games ever played in Western
Nebraska The leaguers were early in
the game compelled to sit up and take
notice of the fact that the McCook team
is ono of the best in the state and they
would have to play ball if they won out
notwithstanding several errors on the
part of the locals which if avoided
would have given McCook a fair chance
for victory Indeed so close did the
game grow in the first half of the ninth
inning when McCook had two men on
bases second and third with Bennett
up that the visitors had to resort to
pretty cheap methods for a professional
team tossing the ball so high that Ben
nett couldnt have reached it with a
step ladder in order to shut McCook
out of a bright prospect of a score or
two
Reynolds a former McCook player
pitched tho first three innings Hendrix
completing the game in the box for the
visitors Bennett pitched the entire
game for McCook and gave a splendid
exhibition of pitching and all around
base ball playing striking out Manager
Fox and First Baseman Thomas both
twice
showing that McCook gave a good ac
count of herself in every particular
save in the matter of the errors in the
third inning especially

quality that is maintained
