THE NORFOLK WEEKLY . NEWS . JOURNAL IOIMIVVV. nwuinuif .1 Season is Off for Chicken and Quail Shooting. PENALTY IS ON AFTER TODAY. After Having Been Allowed to Fly Freely Fop Over Two Years , the Bob White Has Been Shot During the Last Thirty Days Alone. [ From Monday's Daily. ] Today closes the quail nnd pralrlo chicken season , nnd these toothsome birds may ho killed no inoro this year. After midnight tonight every feather ed specimen of either famlly\ \ which may happen to bo murdered within the borders of this commonwealth will bo subject to n fine of no less than 45 for every one , nnd a bunch of costs I V besides. Today ends a strip of thirty days during which the quail , for the ilrst time In three years , have been tar gets for the gunners. A largo number of the useful little game birds have been slaughtered during the month of legal shooting 1'mt still larger num bers remain after their long protec tion and the continued existence of the Bob White In Nebraska Is prac tically assured. The limit on the quail shooting was set by the legislature three years ago , when It decreed that for two whole years and until December of 1903 not a quail should bo legitimately shot. It was done to protect the family and to further their usefulness in this country. As a result the pretty game- bird was allowed to run about In free dom for two entire seasons and the coveys Increased materially. Thirty days ago the law was released and the sportsme began to shoot. It Is thought tho' ' * 6 { , 'Htle creatures will survive in ty.-Mied quantities from now on , i. * ' j Prairie chicken * , , * ' , . ' 'i shot during each season biu < S"0 ° ' f > / for them also closes today. . / ( , ave been made marks for ammunition since the first of October anil have been very much killed during that time. Chickens were very abundant this year and a great many of them have fallen victims to the nlmrod. For ten whole months now they will be allowed to run around in the tall uncut without a sign of fear for their health.

State Game Warden George L. Car ter and one of his deputies Is In Nor folk. They came ostensibly to hunt quail during the closing hours of the open season , with Mr. Carter's friends , P. A. Schurtz and C. D. Jenkins , buti it is presumed that the main incentive to Mr. Carter's visit was that ho IV- might show his now shot gun to his friends and ho did show it to their entire satisfaction. It is one of these kind of now fan- gled guns that you may have read about. You put it to your shoulder , pull the trigger , and It does the rest eight times in succession , about as fast as you can bat your eye. Mr. Carter was explaining the mechanism of the contraption to Mr. Schurtz In the Fair store. Ho pulled the trigger and the gun struck its gait , passing over the seven evolutions with nothing doing , but when the hammer shot infer for the eighth time there was an ex plosion and a hole was neatly bored I through the floor of the Fair store , the charge finding lodgment in the banana room there was a 1 oaded shell In the way of the firing pin that of course the gun considered It its business to touch off It had not yet been trained to do otherwise. It ex cluslvoly showed that the gun was a lose shooter and a hard hitter. There Is now n suspicion that the gun is also intended to do awny with the necessity of n dog to hunt out the gamo. It will bo remembered that last winter two quail entered the Fair store. It Is presumed the gun got a strong scent In the spot where they had boon and sent a charge of shot true to the mark , and had they been there yet they would undoubtedly have boon hurt. Although Mr. Carter holds a record on marksmanship , It Is not surpris ing that after this exhibition of the gun's disposition so mo of his friends should refuse to accompany him with It In his possession. Mr. Carter says that the quail are plentiful , though somewhat wild. Mashed a Great Toe. Gcorgo Wantlln , employed as n brakonmn by the Northwestern , Is taking a few days' lay-off , not per haps , on account of Thanksgiving , still ho may bo thankful that it was no worse. In handling some heavy cast ings at Wlsner , Mr. Wantlln lot one fall on his foot crushing thogro ttoo , since which time ho has not only been unable to resume his work , but has found it Impossible to wear a shoo.

FRANK PERRY PLAYED THE GAME Norfolk Boy Was In the Thanksgiving Football Play Against Illinois from Start to Finish. Friends and admirers of Frank Perry , who was a former student of the Norfolk high school and helped the local football team to make a show Ing on one or two occasions when it would have been impossible to do a thing without the aid of his ponderous weight and splendid physique , are moro than pleased with the record ho made for himself In the Nebraska- Illinois game on the Lincoln athletic field , Lincoln , on Thanksgiving day. Perry was In the game from start to finish , playing right tackle , and cap luring not a few of the honors accru ing to the Cornhuskors. It is rare Indeed that a freshman is permitted to do more than substitute work on the university team , but from his first game It was seen that Perry was a necessity for the Thanksgiving game and ho played throughout , which on entitles him to the honors of wearing the university athletic "N" that is be stowed on these playing through the Thanksgiving game nnd excelling in other contests. Perry is wonderfully made for the game and has , naturally , the qualifications of a superior foot balllst , and his Norfolk friends oxpec his name to become known throughou the state and over the country after a few years of experience on the grid Iron , llo was easily the star of the Norfolk tunm when It WIIH at llnluwt and it Is oxpoctoil Unit ho will win Ilko hmiorn on the university team before many HOUHOIIH hnvo piiHRod. Ho probably needs the training that will ho given by the coaches nnd cap- tnliiH of the team. It wan Perry who made two HOIIRII- . tlonnl whirling tnckle plays and pushed through , the Illinois line for six nnd five yurtlH , during thn IIml half of the game when Nohninkn was not making hur HpurlH for the goal UH during the c'ond liulf. according to the State Journnl. This watt the sensation of the llrst hnlf , nnd when ( ho Cnrnhusk- orn got to gaining on the Illinois goal during the second hnlf , Perry WIIH right thorn to help thorn do It. Ho was an e.sHontliil factor In malt- IniC the second wore of the game. After ho nnd Eager nnd Wilson hnd boon making p.leady gnliiH of three to llvo yards eueh , Wilson got the hall nnd was pulled through the line by Perry to within ono yard of the Roul , the remaining dlHtnnco being mndo by Wllnon , nnd the goal kicked by Heiidor , after which the nroro wont up to 11 to 0 , the previous record hav ing boon r > to 0. Ho wns In the game , apparently , everywhere , when most needed , nnd gnvo valuable aid toward Hocurlng the honors to hln team.

A. horrible death occurred in Bone- steel Monday about noon , when Mrs. John Prlchard passed awny after about three weeks of most Intense suffering caused from blood poisoning. Mr. and Mrs. Prichard came hero iust previous to her illness from Kim- mil , S. D. , and Mr. Prichard took n uisltlon in the now blacksmith shop recently put in by Thomas L. Hoar. It would take much space to recount the rumors current regarding this case anil as they are not substantiat ed entirely wo will say but little about t. Mrs. Prichard was a middle aged woman , and , wo are told , had quite in attractive appearance. She was about an eighth blood Indian nnd it Is understood had an allotment near Wagner on the Yankton reservation. Previous to her death , which is pre sumed to have been caused by an at tempted abortion , she told her two children and Mr. Prichard that she was going straight to hell.

The remains were cared for by sym pathetic ladles of Boncstool and on Tuesday were taken to Wagner for burial.

That is they were permitted to place so nee the fruit in their mouths , but as foi taste it was almost totally lacking , Nevertheless they had the honor o : being able to say that they had eaten of a Nebraska-grown orange which was , In itself , sufficient.
