ONE MORE WEEK AND SHOOTING
IS "ALL OFF. "
MANY BIRDS NEAR NIOBRARA
The Hunters Around Norfolk Have
Not Found a Great Many of the Lit-
tie Feathered Creatures This Fall.
Quail Not Insect Eater.
Not a great many quail not nearly
HO many as In years gone by Imve
boon shot In northern Nebraska dur
ing the past few days , the open sea
son , of : this fall. The season will close
next Friday night and all of the bird
shooting that Is to be enjoyed by the
sportsmen of this state must bo bad
between now and then. Of live par
ties of hunters who went out on the
first day of the season , none brought
borne more than ten birds. In the old
days the average bunt resulted In llfty
or more. Up around Nlobrara tbero
are still a great many birds and some
good shots. Ono party there the other
day bagged more than 100 quail.
Judge Munger enjoyed n day there.
A Norfolk sportsman takes excep
tion to the statement made In those
columns that the quail Is an Insect
eater and tbereforo a friend of the
farmer. "I have never seen traces of
Insects In the quail , " says he , "though
I have always found either grain or
seeds. They prefer grain but when
they can not llnd grain they will eat
seeds. I can not believe tbat any em
inent authority has said that the quail
Is a great friend of tbe farmer.
"More quail are shot by tbe farmers
ors than by the town sportsmen , " bo
continued. "They do not take time
to go out and bunt with dogs but whim
the snow comes the farmer sboots a
bunch of them In a pot shot. "
Winter Greatest Foe.
Winter Is the greatest foe to the
quail a greater foe , by far , than pow
der and lead dots. If tbe winter is
mild many quail will survive and f hero
will be plenty next fall , while a 'se
vere winter will freeze most of them
to death and the crop will be small.
No amount of game protection by law-
will uphold the quail supply In the
face of blizzards.

HUNTING DOGS DESTROY EGGS
DURING LAYING SEASON.
RAID NESTS IN THE FIELDS
The Only Way to Increase Supply of
Game Birds , According to a Sports
man Wrltlno to The News , Is to Tie
Dogs During Hatching Season.
The News received a letter from
"hunter In South Dakota , which
should furnish suggestions for sports
men and legislators who arc trying to
Improve the gnmo laws and preserve
the game birds for legitimate shoot
ing. The letter deals with the destruc
tion of birds' eggs by dogs which are
allowed to roam through the Holds and
woods.
Dogs are very fond of eggs and the
countless hundreds that are permitted
to hunt the Holds and woods probably
reduce the bird crop more than all
the hunters combined. A great many
dog owners will say their dogs simply
hunt'rabbits , but it Is doubtful If any
dog , especially a hunting dog , will pass
up a nest tilled with eggs. All of the
adverse conditions of weather com
blued are le.ss damaging than a half
dozen dogs that are permitted to bunt
between' May 1 and September 1.
Those dogs not only oat the egga but
they run down young chickens , quail
and partridge , before the birds can
H y.
y.This
This IK one of the weakest points In
our game law , but It will bo a dllllcult
problem to solve unless the dog own
ers solve. It themselves. There Is no
illfl'erenee In dogs In this respect.
They all got the egg habit If allowed
lo forage In the fields and woods. If
Hie birds cannot be batched there will
be no shooting , anil tbe more dogs tbe
less birds. The letter runs as f"l-
lows :
Webster , S. D. , Nov. 21.--I see that
there Is a scarcity of chickens In tunny
localities , and the cause , many my ,
was tbe late rains drowning out tbe
young birds and In some cases rotting
( he eggs.
I differ as to the cause , for I have
found the chicken crop the finest this
year tbat It has been for the past 10
years. The largest covles running
from fourteen to nineteen birds in all
cases , but you must go at least ten
miles from any town , city or village
to find them so numerous.
Some eight years ago I lived on a
farm ten miles from Webster , S. D. I
started to town In my buggy and when
I got four miles on the road , or six
miles from town , I saw a pointer dog
that belonged In town. He was quar
tering the field In fine shape , so I kept
my eye on his work. When he Hushed
a chicken about forty rods away I saw
the dog stop so I turned off the road to
Investigate. Just before I got to him
lie left but I found the nest filled with
empty egg shells. I found fourteen
there. I followed the dog about two
miles further ; another flush and an
other breakfast. Tills time sixteen
eggs. I followed until he raised the
third chicken and found fifteen eggs
this time , making forty-five eggs In
all. I then struck the road and went
fo town. The dog seemed as full of
energy as ever , in addition to being
nearly full of eggs. This was tbe lat
ter part of May. Now supposing tbat
dog went , out the next day and the
next and so on , what figure would he
cut In the season ?
When I loft that dog I drove about
one mile , towards town , when I met
a skirmish line composed of five dogs ,
pointers and setters , hunting for all
they were worth. At that time there
were 108 dogs In Webster. Now take
a map and count the towns In Minnesota
seta and the two Dakotas , estimate the
dogs according to the Inhabitants ; al
low 200 eggs per dog per season , and
you have tbe neat little sum of GG-
000,000 of birds' eggs destroyed per
year.
year.My remedy would be to pass a law
to stop spring shooting , have all dogs
tied at least bird dogs from April
20 to June 20 , put a bounty of $10 on
the scalp of any bird dog found run-
nig at large during the time the birds
are laying and hatching and until tbe
young can fly. Make chicken season
from September 1 to November 1 , In
stead of January 1 as at present , as
November and December chickens are
in large Hocks , very easy to trap , and
susceptible to pot shots.
I have been a shotoer of small game
for over fifty years , and at the same
time a close observer. I want those
50,000,000 eggs to hatch.
By all means have the dogs tied up.
so as to give the prairie chickens and
ducks a chance to hatch. Don't bom
bard the ducks In the spring and ex
pect a good local crop , for It wont'
work It Is like trying to hunt wild
turkeys with a brass band. Lot us try
and have uniform laws and live up to
them.
SENATOR ALLEN SPEAKS.
Madison County Statesman Elected
Vice President of Association.
Former Senator William V. Allen ol
Madison , who has just been elected
vice president of the Nebraska Bat
association , spoke of the needs of a
successful lawyer , at the state meet-
Ing. He said In part :
"The successful lawyer must bo lion
est. Ho must entertain no thoughts
of tricks or devices , Ho should love
justice for Itself. He should think
honestly and then ho will be sure to
think logically. Anyone will trust tin
open , logical lawyer rather than the
man who depends on sophistry ant
trickery to attain an end. Nor sliouli
a lawyer bo { .atlsfled with the presen
judicial opinion * . If be bellmen llirin
wrontr he thould attack them with all
the strength of a vigorous Intellect.
Money should bo only a secondary con
sideration.
"There Is a difference between a
lawyer and an advocate. The latter
often wastes much of bin mind's
xtreiiKlli on expression ; but he nlno
staiid.s oftou In greater esteem In the
public nilud. and we often llnd him
on the judicial bench , though a man
of deeper mind and less gift for ex
pression might bo belter lilted for the
place. "
"The lawyer Is a mauy-Mlded mini.
He IH an Individual to whom IH en
trusted the life , liberty , properly and
reputation of persons who are at once
bis fellow clll/ens and clients llu
niiiHt. therefore , bo viewed as a pro-
fosslonal man , a cltl/eu miHlaliilng the
usual relation of oil I/en to ell I/en. UH
n member of the bar having close re
lations to the court before which he
practices and , by virtue of his calling ,
a mail lo whom the community In
stinctively turns In case of trouble for
advice on both public and private iniil-
terH , for I nHsume that If hr does not
know something more than tbe mere
mechanism of bin occupation and has
not spent some tlmu at. least in famll
larl/liig himself ullb the works of tin
great jurists of tbe ancient and mod
ern world , he bus not risen to the true
dignity of the profession.
"I hardly htlnk I am In a position
properly to advise the young man of
today Just how be should study law.
Not having bad the advantage of a
tutor or law school , or even the asso
ciation of a kindred spirit In my Kin
dles , and my reading having been guid
ed more by chance than design , I do
not claim to be competent to judge
how a young man should enter upon
a professional career. Hut I am satis-
fled , after many years , that I pursued
the best course that , I could , circum
stanced as I was. I first borrowed a
copy of Hiaekstoiie's Commentaries
and , having read It to no advantage ,
I became convinced that It. was not. a
good book for a beginner , nail I turned
my attention to the civil and criminal
codes of the stale In which I lived ami
read and reread them ami became fa
miliar with their provisions and mem
orized portions of them.
"I may be old-fanhioiio < l In my Ideas ,
but I am convinced that the lawyer
forty years ago was better equipped
than the lawyer of the present. Hut
this may he because the calling was
not regarded as a trade or a got-rlcb-
quick business , and there was not so
much haste , but longer and better
preparation than now. "
WILL HAY COME BACK ?
Intimate Acquaintances About Town
Believe He Has Gone to Stay.
Will Chie fof Police James Hay ,
who secured a leave of absence until
the first of December , return to Nor
folk ?
This is the question which Is being
asked by friends and Intimate ac
quaintances of the police chief , as well
as others about town. The prevailing
opinion Is that bo left the city for good
and tbat he does not Intend to come
back.
back.When
When ho left , Chief of Police Hay
took his trunk and all of his posses
sions , Including his rubber boots and
shotgun. He bad sold his household
furniture , so tbat ho has left no prop
erty in Norfolk. Mrs. Hay Is In Call-
'ornla and some believe that he may
mve gone to tbe coast. He Is , bow-
ever , still chief of police In Norfolk ,
lot having given up his star.
GRAVEL MAY BE ALL RIGHT.
Rain Is Needed Now to Test Quality
of That Being Tried.
It seems now possible that gravel
'rom the pit west of the city may
irove to be heavy enough for tbe
mildlng of the gravel highways on
First mid Fourth streets. A number
of wagonloads of the material have
jeen hauled Into South Fourth street
near the government building , during
the past few days and the clt yls only
waiting now for a good ra'ln to come
ind give the stuff a thorough test.
"It looks as If some of that gravel
might do well enough , " said Council
man August Brummund , "Some of It
may be light. What wo had hauled
in some weeks ago appears to have
not spread heavily enough and we are
now In hopes that this will do all
right. "
SHOOTING IN TOWN MUST STOP
Youths Who Have Been Firing Bui
lets In Norfolk , Will be Punished.
Indiscriminate shooting Inside the
city limits of Norfolk , which has been
done during tbe past few months to a
pretty extensive degree , has got to
stop , according to an order Issued dur
ing the afternoon by Mayor John Fri
day. The order from the mayor's of
fice was Issued as the result of nu
merous complaints made to that offi
cial by citizens of the community. It
Is said that one youth who was shootIng -
Ing a gun near the union depot , and
who was ordered to stop by a police
man , absolutely disregarded the order
and kept on firing bullets at pigeons.
It is a miracle , according to those who
have kept track of the shooting , that
someone has not been wounded.
SOLD "THE MAKIN'S" TO MINOR
Tilden Business Man Fined $23.80 for
Selling 5-Cent Tobacco Sack.
W. J. Braasch has returned from
Tlldon and brings the story that a
business man tbero was fined $21.80 !
Thursday afternoon for selling a five-
cent package of smoking tobacco tea
a youth of the town. The business
man was Mr. Cunningham , a confec
tioner , and the minor was a young
man named Bliss. The fine was paid.
ALL EYES TURNED TOWARD THE
YALE-HARVARD GAME.
NEBRASKA MEETS CHICAGO "U"
Yale Hoped to Win the Game AjnltiBt (
Harvard , Although Harvard Succeed'
cd In Getting the Officials Nchrao-
ka-Chlcago Game Eckcrsall's Last.
ICyes of the football world Saturday
iflnrnnnn turned toward the great an
nual game between Harvard ami Vale.
Yale'H prospects seemed to be a little
better than those of the crimson and
there was belief that the blue team
would win ( In1 game although Harvard
managed to get all of ( he otllclalH for
the struggle. Yale pla.\crs resented
this and It. was predicted they would
pllo up a tcrrllli ! score. On account of
Iho bad feeling , there was talk of hav
ing no moio games between the two
big loams.
Nebraska attention turned toward
Chicago , to which pijlnt the c.onilnmlc-
ors went to meet the Chicago univer
sity team. It was the first game be
tween these two. This was Captain
Kckorsall'H last game , he having been
with Chicago four years , and his
mates planned to pile up a big ticoro
for him. Nebraska's tricks wore
feared by Chicago.
Norfolk had no game Saturday hut
will have a game Thanksgiving after
noon when WliiHlde comes to play.
NEW RULES SAVED GAME.
Old Yale Star Says Revised Regula
tions Wonderful Improvement.
New York , Nov. 21. "Tho new root-
mil" has come to slay , according lo
Murllss , the well-known Yale graduate
mil athletic authority. He Is an lull-
nale friend of Waller Camp , "father
) f American football , " and any opinion
expressed by him may usually bo prop
erly assumed to reflect Iho export ath
letic opinion of tin' university of which
be Is a graduate.
"After watching nearly all the IMI
portunt gridiron contests that have
taken place HO far this year , e.speclal
ly the Yalo-Prlnceton game. I have no
hesitation In pronouncing the new
style game an unqualified success , "
Raid Curtlss yesterday. "Anyone who
saw Yale and Princeton battle last
week cannel doubt but that the reform
legislation has given us a wonderfully
Improved sport. Personally , I am sat
isfied to let the new rules stand as
they are , confident that as the I line
goes by and the full possibilities in
the rules are grasped by the several
elevens we will have a game superior
to any kind of football played in this
or any other country.
'The forward passes , while they
ivero not entirely successful , contrlb-
ited an exciting feature to the game
which was entirely lacking under the
) ld rules.
"In fact , I may say that all that Is
needed in every respect is more fa
miliarity on the part of the colleges
with the new rules . When they comprehend -
prehond fully Just what the changes
ire and tbe latest possibilities In the
new rules , the contests will progress
as smoothly as did the games under
the old rules.
"In fact , I may say tbat all that Is
needed In every respect is more fa
miliarity on the part of the colleges
with the new rules.
"Certain persons have suggested
that with ten yards to gain , four downs
should be substituted for three. I see
no need for that change. Yale showed
on Saturday that It was possible to
gain the necessary distance In three
downs , and If tbe rule were amended
by the substitution of four downs It
would tend lo drlvo the teams back to
the old style of mass plays the very
feature the friends of the game wish
to eliminate. Moreover , as the rules
arc better understood new methods for
getting the necessary distance will
constantly appear.
"To sum up the situation , I believe
that tbe new rules have accomplished
tbe desired reforms. They have ( level
open an easier game for the players
and a far more thrilling game for the
spectators to watch.
