Attorney General Stone has Just rendered
a decision In a case which Involves an
interesting and Important legal question. A
requisition was made about two months ago
by the governor of South Dakota upon
Governor Hotoi of this state for tbo return
of ono John W. Hardwlck , who was wanted
In Mlnnohaha county , South Dakota , to
nnsunr to the charge ot selling diseased
meat. This crime Is morcly n misdemeanor
by the laws of South Dakota and the ques
tion nro o whether Governor Boles could
legally grant n requisition , the
law of Iowa allowing him to
ask requisition from the governors
ot other states only in cases where the Indi
vidual desired Is charged with treason or
felony. Upon making an Investigation the
attorney general came to the conclusion that
as the United States law provides that n
governor of ono stuto may Issue a requisition
upon the governor of another state for the
return of a person charged with treason ,
felony or other crime , and us there was noth
ing lii the statutes of South Dakota , to prevent -
vent the Issuance ot a requisition in the
present case , the question \\hattho Iowa
laws contained In record to the matter was
immaterial. The requisition was accordingly
issued and Hardwlck is now In the hands of
the South Dakota authorities.

J. B. Daniels and another lightning redman
man named Butler gave a pugilistic exhibi
tion about midnight Saturday night in the
1'aclllc bouse saloon that proved to bo about
as Interesting , both to the combatants nnd
the spectators , as anything in the line that
has been witnessed for some time. It ap
pears that the two men did a Job in the cast
end of the county some time upo In partner
ship , it being agreed between them that the
spoils , which amounted to u couple of
hundred dollars , should bo divided equally.
Daniels claimed that Hutlor jammed the
entire proceeds down iu his jeans , without ,
making the division , and a cool
ness consequently sprang up between
them. A few days ago Butler
worked UD a bargain with a man named
Lelaiul , who lives in the eastern part of tno
count ) , nnd was about to commence the \\orlt
of nutting up th" rods , when Daniels heard
of It and told Leland , who happened to bo a
frlond of bis , that ho must loon out or Butler
would do him up. Leland consequently
backed out of the bargain. The two men
had not seen each other since the last named
occurrence , and when they mot in tno saloon
there was an Immediate crash. Both are
strapping fellows , and when their fist- , col
lided with each other's noses blood flowed
freely. The spectators urged them on , and
'
It wa's fullv tifteon minutes before earn ono
decided ho had had enough and was content
to have It n drawn fight. There were no
arrests. _

A lively scrap took place las.1 Friday nlcht
about mlcjnlplit In the League club rooms in
the Woodburv block , The cause of tbo
trouble was a brand uow plug hat that A.
W. Askwlth has lately Invested iu , and the
parties were Askwith and K. A. WIckbain.
Tbo diniculty btarted ut the opera bouse
who re some ono who felt fuuny made off with
tbo hat. Askwlth finally recovered his miss
ing head gear , and the next thing was to
discover who had run away with it. After
an unsuccessful attempt to locate the guilty
party Le went to the Loactio rooms along
with a party of friends to play billiards. Dur
ing the progress of tbo gatno the subject of
tbo lost hut was acnln brought up nnd a
number of remarks woru made by the other
men , some of which reflected on the hut and
others ou the moral .status of its owner.
Askwlth became cnra/eil at ono of tbo latter
which was made by Wickham nnd strucic
him a ho.ivy blow on the cheek vtlth his
clenched list. WIckbam raised a billiard
cue and retorted wltn telling effect. Ask

would have probably done something serious

OLD TIMES ON THE PRAIRIES.
ItemlnlsceneeH of Kurly llajs Itejond the
Dan Do Quillo in the Salt Lake
Tribune : In the early days of Iowa I
was always glad to see a blizzard. I
was filled with the spirit of Nitnrod the
mighty. I was an invotornto deer
stalker. A blizzard corralcd my gatno.
It drove the deer out of the open
prairies. They were obliged to seek
shelter in the groves or thiekots of
luv/.cl , thorn , crub apple and wild plum.
As I know all these harbors of refuge
within a circuit of twenty miles , the
bli/.znrd saved mo a good deal of tramp
ing. It rounded up all tbe deer ranging
ever tbo boundless prairie , and herded
thorn in nlaccs wlioro I could readily
lind them.
In those hunts , as in all otbor deer
bunting , I was obliged to face the wind ,
therefore squarely received the full
force of the blizzard.
Deer Stalking.
The only tedious business in such
bunting was tlio advance into tbo grove
or the thicket. Tlio door lie with their
noses to tbo windward , trusting to be in
formed by their keen sense of smell of
any danger approaching from that di
rection , while their acute hcarintr gives
them notice of an enemy advancing from
the leoward. Ohrs advance must bo ab
solutely noiseless. Not a twig must snap.
It is a stop and a halt , a stop and a halt
until the game is sighted. A single
hasty , impatient stop spoils all rondnrs
useless nil the good work that may have
been done for with oars pointed back
ward and gently moving , your game is ,
so to speak , literally feeling the
air. At the snap of a single
twig away bounds your herd. There is
ahead the sound of a rush through the
hicket , a glimpse of a "white Hag" or
two , and your chance for u shot at that
particular place is gone. Then you
push on and "work" the next in your '
line of groves. You may play tricks
with the deer's sight , but ho is never in
doubt in regard to any news that is
brought him by either his souse of hearing -
ing or smell. The deer docs not see
well in the full glare of the day. When
a man stands perfectly motionless , the
deer cannot make out whotor ho faces a
man or merely a stump. But n single
stop or movement informs him of the
nature of the object , and ho is olT.
I'lajlnj ; TrloltH on the Deer's Sight.
Dressed in white , when there is snow
on the ground ono may walk up to
within easy range of n deer. To do this
it is nccebsary to instantly halt and
stand immovable the moment the ani
mal raises its head from feeding. When
it resumes feeding you advance , but in
such a way as to bo able to bait in the
wink of an eye when it again jerks up
ts head.
It is amusing to watch the actions and
study the thoughtsof a cunning old buck
when so stalked. Ho will gaze fixedly
at the object which lias excited his sus
picion for from thrco to llvo minutes.
Ho thinks the object has in some way
drawn nearer , still ho has not soon it
movo. Ho turns his oars forward
and gently prospects the air in order to
bring his sense of hearing to the assist
ance of his oyos. His nose is of no use ;
the wind is wrong. No sound comes to
his projecting and gently waving cars.
The tiling is a puzzle. As It don't move
It must bo a fa tump. With a little im
patient wiggle of ills tail ho says :
"Well , I won't bother , " nnd resumes
browsing on the tender buds and buehos
amid which ho is standing. .Soon , how
ever , the sfango object again enters his
mind. lie is almost euro it lias become
moro distinct , and again ho stares at it
and studies it , than with a wiggle of tiio
tail gives it up. The next moment
"bang" goes a rifle and down goes the
noble old follow , and all for lack of ayes
as good as tils nose and oars. I have
walked up to within 100 yards of a deer
and knocked him ovoiyuul this too with
a crust on the snow that broke through
with a crash at every stop. I had only
to wear a white blanket overcoat anil
carry a cow boll to drown the noise un
avoidably made while making my sev
eral advances.
Unclu John to the Hencne ,
Fresh from the settlements east of the
Mississippi , and full of the spirit of
about six generations of mighty hunters
ofOld Virginia" and the "Buekoyo"
state , I made u rush for my rillo. "Tut ,
tut ! " cried my undo , laying his hand on
my shoulder , "lot tlio poor things go.
Why should thuo dinrurh thorn in the
shelter they are struggling so hard to
roach ? Wo nro not in want of meat or
food of any kind. Thee cannot think of
taking advantage of the poor creatures
"
in their tune of" trouble ? "
"No , Undo John. You are right. I'll
give 'oin a fair show but they've got to
look out as soon as the crust is oil the
snow ! "
Many , however , did not give them a
fair show. Not a few among the now
settlers wont out on horsoboek shield
ing tlio logs of their horses with band
ages and slaughtered the poor deer
rigiit and loft. This slaughter so
alarmed un old pioneer hunter that lie
feared the utter extermination of the
noble game. Ho and ills tons took tbo
Hold for the preservation of the deor.
They caught twonty-llvo and placing
thorn in a big corral fed them till grass
started in the snring when tlioy turned
them out on the prairies. Tlio next
winter , al a tlmo when there was a bud
crut on the snow , two of these door
came buck to the old man to bo fed.
They remained with his enttlo till
spring. Tills was a line text for the old
man , and rod-hot were the sermons ho
preached from it to the murderous
"tenderfoot" of those days.
What Deer I > I > CH Shot Through ( ho Henri.
A queer thing about a deer is that if
shot through the heart it will run fifty
or bovonty-llvo yards , then turn a com
plete summerset and drop dead. At
llrst I supposed this occurred only when
hit in the heart while running at full
speed , but once when seated tn a tree
watching a trail , I shot n door that w.is
standing stock still. From my porch I
could see its every movement. At the
crack of my rillo it ran away at lull
speed with "Hag" up aa though un-
touchod. I was about beginning to call
myself names , when the animal leaped
high in the air , turned completely ever ,
and fell dond. My bullet had lodged in
its heart. Old backwoodsmen bay that
after being shot through the heart a
door will run as long as it can hold its
breath. ,
Do IH-er Kr Slird Tcurs ? "
Not long ago an item headed with the
above query was going the rounds. It
was said that Shakespeare spoke of a
dying stag shedding tears. This was
thought to be a thing not of fact , but
poetical license. But Shakespeare was
right. I saw the thing once and I did
not get ever it for a week. It took away
my deer hunting appetite. Firing at
long range I had broken the back of a
line doo. When I reached her she roared
herself upon her fore legs , but otherwise
was utterly helpless. I drew my hunt
ing knife across her throat and while
bleeding to death she fixed her great
dewy eyes upon mo. Big round tears
coursed down her cheeks. Then of a
sudden her logs gave way and she fell
dnad. At that time I had never hoard
of a deershedding tears in dying. I was
astonished and grieved. It worried mo.
Going homo with the deer on my back
the doctrine of the transmigration of
souls oamo into my head. "Who
knows , " said I , "but I may have shot
and am lugging homo my groat-grand
mother ? "
Door Stalking Kxtraonllimry.
In 1847 Iowa was n paradise for
hunters. On the prairies were elk , deer
and millions of prairie chickens , while
the heavy timber along the Inrgo
streams was full of wild turkeys , squir
rels , partridges and ether small game.
On one occasion that occurs to mo I
found more game than I wantod. I was
stallcing a small herd of three or four
deer in the open prairie. The upland
grass was only about a foot in height
and not a sheltering bush or hillock waste
to bo found. My only chance for a shot
lay in my ability to "snake it" through
the grass , and to do that I was obliged
to hug the ground and make myself as
Hat as r. pull adder.
After an hour's work , which loft most
of myest buttons behind along my
trail , J was within 200 yards of my
game. I had a line Kentucky rille ,
but as it carried a small ball I was
not sure of a door with it at a greater
distance than 150 yards , therefore I
must crawl a farther distance than Hfty
yards. The door were quietly feeding
and quito unaware of my presence. The
loader was a noble buck. Ho was to bo
my mark and my moat. Another fifty
yards njul I'd dron him.
I resumed crawling when pralrio
chickens began Hying up all about mo
by pairs , half dozens and dozens. The
noise of tholr wings attracted the atten
tion of the deer , but did not frighten
thorn. At every move I miido up would
como mote chickens. I think I routed
about a thousand before they ceased to
rise. The old buck did not much like
the alarm among the chicxs. Ho took
several long loons in my direction and
apparently gave the mutter sotno serious
' v'
ous study.
When rid of the chickens J again
bo'/an dragging my "sfow length" along.
A moment after there > was a cry of
" ! " I " " and
"Quit , quit inbtantly "quit"
cautiously peered ahead. About twenty-
llvo yards in advancp was a big wild
turkey gobbler. Hov\vjis \ in a bunch of
rosin weed , und had probably boon for
some time watching tho. suspicious agi
tation of thi ) grass in my direction. I
hoped the old follow would quietly cneak
away , but instead ho kept up his warn
ing cry , peering at uw" , with stretched
nock and cocked head. The old buck
was again blaring , anil with oars laid
forward was pumlerij'ifj' ' upon this new
noiso. j i
The turkey continuing to cluck I de
termined to got rid of him. Turkey was
not bud , but I was after bigger game. I
fallowed turn my hand with my fingers
spread out and wigclmg at him , still ho
stared and cried "quit. " Next I slowly
elevated the muzilo of icy gun , and ti
was not bix inches above the grass before -
fore the old follow foil hitnsotl enlight
ened. In an instant ho nroso with a
great thunder of wing , and sailed away
toward the nearest timber.
My old buok gave a whistle of alarm
and instantly all in the herd ware gaz
ing in my direction. They seemed to
understand the turkey very welland did
not cnro for it. The question with them
was what manner of creature was thus
putting to Hlght all winged things in a
particular direction to leeward. I sug
gested "coyote" to the old buck and coyote -

frequent jerking up of his head aflqr ho
had resumed feeding.
It was unusual to lind n wild turkey
out in the open prairio. It just hap
pened that this ono old follow was for
some reason passing hetween the main
timber of a largo creek and a big oak
grove out in the open. After the turkey
alarm I again began crawling forward.
Twenty yards moro and I would ho stiro
of my buck. I was steering for a little
bunch of rosin-weed ( the compass plant )
behind which I might raise my head to
taito aim. At last I was within ton fee
of the weeds when "whiz , whiz , whir1'
wont a rattlesnake within a few foot o
my nose. lie was in coil ready for btisf
iness. I had only to ' 'touch the button1
to have him do the rest.
I throw little clods of dirt at him but4
ho would not movo. With head sway-
In tr , eyes gloaming and tail whizzing ho
stood his ground. I then waited about
ton minutes , hoping ho would uncoil
and go about his business. But , no , his
business was just before him. If I
moved a finger his tail was instantly in
the air nnd his ugly triangular head
swaying.
On his account I no longer dared to so
much as turn my eyes toward my buck.
As the darkoy said of the nuilo I
" 'spi/.ed' ' the snake , but ho hud the
drop on mo. Drawing the ramrod from
my gun I tickled him with the end of it
for a time. This scorned quito satisfac
tory to him , as it gave him something
to Uito at. Finding that after each lunge
ho mndo ho was working up on mo , I
was soon obliged to back out and make
a circuit of about twenty-live fuot to
another compass plnnt.
Luckily the little herd of door had
moved toward mo and were now within
IM yards. I soon tumbled ever my
buck , but I had boon a long time in
getting at him game was just a little
too plentiful.
More TrluUs of tlio Hunter's Trade.
It is always bettor to spend two or
three hours in stalking duor sighted
than to make a rush and then to obliged
to strike out und hunt up another herd.
In the open , deer may sometimes ho
brought within range hy showing thorn
a woolen mitten , a cap or some such ob
ject on the end of a ramrod. The curi
osity of the animal must ho excited , hut
they must not bo allowed to see too
much of tlio object. In their curiosity
they are very much moro cautious than
antblopo. A false move or ft move too
much ana away they go. Even while
influenced by tholr curiosity deer ad
vance very slowly toward the object
which has excited it. The old buck of
the herd takes the load. Every forty or
fifty yards they halt. The huok stamps
with ills fore foot , hoping to provoke the
object to como out of its place of con
cealment by ills challenge. So long as
ho thus challenges ho is under the spoil ,
but ho must sco loss and less of the ob
ject bobbing about on tlio hand or ram
rod as ho draws near.
On the prairie grows a curious plant
known as "tumble-wood" or "roily-
bolly. " It is n dense mass of twigs and
leaves of globular form and two or three
foot in diainotur. It hue but a singlu
root stalk , and after the first h avy
frost in autumn this breaks oT ! in the
first wind , when tlio hond gees bounding
ever the prairie like ti little balloon ,
scattering its seed far nnd wide , for
which purpose it is "built that way. "
As tlio deer saw hundreds of tiioso tumbleweeds
ble-weeds rolling about the prairies they
had no fear of them , therefore in btalk
ing a herd in the open good use could bo
made of the queer plants. They made u
line portable shield or "blind. " As a
"roily-holly" tliroo foot' in diameter
weighed only u few ounces , u hunter
could hold It in onu hand , und stooping
low , could creep quite rapidly upon a
herd of feeding deer. Even the most
cunning old buck never trot o far along
in his veasonlngus to think strange of
seeing a tumblu-wocd coming up against
tlio wind. I several times tried advanc
ing upon deer erect with two big
tumblo-wcods strung on iv stick , but it
wouldn't do. An old buck would stand
ono "rolly-bolly , " but two would not go
with him.
