mors regarding a reported Indian
trouble and fatal shooting of two
Indians in the Territory south Of
here have been current the past few

proves the rumor false, as at this

The facts are that as Wan-ne-he and
another Iowa Indian were on their

wagon, and having on board more
whisky than was good for them,
somehow a drunken squabble en-

Important to Sportsmen.-For the infor-
nation of our readers we publish the following
from the Belair Times: "Maryland is not the
sportsman's Eldorado, but there is enough game
lett in some of the counties still to make cunning
enjoyable. Partridges are quite plentiful Jack
snipe visit the moist places in spring, woodcock
to be flushed in the swampy thickets and
shore birds flock about the beaches of the bay
and ocean. Except for tho protection of ducks,
Maryland has fewer general game laws than
almost any other State. Each county however,
passes at the biennial sessions of the Legislature
some local law governing the protection of its
own birds. Just at this season there are few
birds indigenous to Maryland that are not shield
ed by the law from the breech-loader of the
sportsman or the "bob-tai" musket of the small
boy. Woodcock can be killed from the 18th day
of June until the LIST day of February. Snipe
also be killed now-if they are found. In all
of the counties there laws forbidding the kill
ing of robins, blackbirds, fickers, field -larks,
which usually comprise the game of the youthful
hunter, after the LIST of April. There is no gem
eral State law protecting the song Birds which
are quite plentiful here, but most of the counties
have local laws forbidding the killing of the
mocking- bird, thrush, catbird and fnches. The
law prohibits the killing of rabbits between the
18th of January and the 18th of October. AS
squirrels bring forth their young in early spring
the summer is Just the time to kill them. The
young ones, now almost full grown, acquire de-
licious flavor to their flesh by eating the green
hickory nuts and young corn Shore birds, such
as wilet, oyster Birds curlew, etc., are not pro-
tected by any special legislation, as they short
sojourners. Along the ocean shore of Maryland
there is good sport now and will be until Septem-
Der. The golden or "grass" plover is a bird that
visits the bluegrass fields of Virginia and Mary
land in midsummer. They get very fat on grass
hoppers and may be slaughtered with mpunty."
The following is special law relating to Har-
ford and Cecil counties "Chapter 120, of the acts
of 1880, for the protection of cartridges, pleas
ants rabbits, woodcock and rail birds, in Hartford
and Cecil counties, provides that it shall not be
lawful to shoot, trap kill or in any manner de-
stroy expose for sale any partridges or rabbits
in Cecil county between the 26th day of Deem
Der and the LIST day of November, and in Hartford
county between the Goth day of December and
the 18th day of October, nor any woodcock be-
tween the 1st day of January and the 10th day
of June, nor any rail bird or pheasants between
the 1st day of January and the 10th day of Sep
TENDER, in either of said counties and the pos
session of any of the birds or game mentioned in
this section during the prohibited periods shall
be deemed prima facie evidence of a violation of
the act, except when it may appear that such
birds or game are for breeding purposes"
