Prairie Chi K n Shooting.

As great number of Eastern sports

sportsman Yesterday. Il ha e just
come from an tended bus ness tour
throughout Dakota, Minnesota and ILL
NOS, and at most Of the hotels Were l
stopped the young grouse Were already
on the bills of fare. No one ever at
tenn Is to enforce the game laws. The
open season commences entirely too
early in the ma oritv of the Stats and
Tel ritorics. The birds can ha dly fly,
and chill may shoot them. Thous-
ands are slaughtered for sport, and as
ice is rare commodity and the weather
in August oppressively hot, and as
there is no way of utilizing the BIRDS,
tho sands of them are left heaped in
es to spoil on the shooting grounds.
] here has been a great hue and cry
started against the rot hunter as the
market shooter is called; but the truth
is that the reckless exterminatOr Of
game is the city sportsman who shoots
for fun. He will not have communion
with the man who shoots for u liveli-
hood, holding that it is contemplate
to sell the birds he kills. Yet the city
sportsman DESTROYS more game and let's
it lie where it falls. so that no one but
his own selfish self is gratified. 1t was
