Could've are Informed that a load

Okabena Lake to Rusimore and that
after its arrival there 4 small piece of

We had some snipe at the McManus
House last Sunday, real, live snipe and
no fooling. People sometimes mistake
prairie chicken for snipe or curlew and
shoot at them before the law allows.
We always shoot so as to miss it if it is
a chicken and hit it if it is snipe.
1t sometimes happens that a fellow
shoots at y snipe and hits d chicken.
Cases of this kind are not covered" by
the law.
Some irreverant fellow has said that
if lie had been present when the uni

ture be SO made that the natural odor
would drive flies and mosquitoes away.
