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

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 WARDEN CARTER'S ' GUN
By Merely Pulling the Trigger It
Shoots Eight Times and Thereby
Hangs a Tale.
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.
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. When
told by kind attendants that It was
not too late for spiritual aid , she con
tended that her time had passed and
she died in that terrible frame of
mind.
The remains were cared for by sym
pathetic ladles of Boncstool and on
Tuesday were taken to Wagner for
burial.

Nebraska Grown Oranges.
C. E. Hartford has in the window
of his barber shop a small orange tree
that has been performing Its functions
right along , as though it was in Its
native climatic surroundings such as
would bo furnished by either Califor
nia or Florida. It has grown some
perfectly developed fruit , and today
Mr. Hartford was giving some tastes
of ono fully developed Nebraska or
nngo to Bomo of his friends. 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.
