ST. LOUIS, July 9.-Informatlon from
some of the Bald Knobber counties in
Southwest Missouri is to the effect that
trouble is brewing between two factions OF
the Bald Knobber organization. A man
known as doc" Peters was arrested ut
Cassville last week as a Bald Knobber and
cattle thief, and the arrest is likely to
prove an important one, as Peters is now
known TO be one Of the leaders of a band
who have stolen during the past year more
than 1900 cattle off the range of Ozark,
Christian and fancy Counties. One of
these factions claims that the other has
been revealing the secrets of the order,
and already more than one member has
been murdered for giving information to
the authorities and more killings are daily
looked for. Both sides are well armed.
and if On open conflict should take place
the fight will be fierce and bloody.

that it ceased to be either useful or CT

Stocking Game Grounds.

A correspondent writes to the Forest and
Stream as follows on this interesting sub
ject:
Some years ago l brought from North
Carolina to New Jersey some fifteen or
twenty pairs of quail to put on my own
place. kept them in my barn from Feb
ruary to the middle of April, feeding them
on split peas, their favorite food in North
Carolina, and giving them free access to
water. | found they became very tame,
and when they were turned out in April
they continued to remain for some time in
the vicinity of the barn, The place was
very favorably situated for stocking, a
stream running along the edge of wood,
with cultivated land on one side, at inter
walls patches of good woodcock grounds,
and two or three dry bottoms of old mill
dams overgrown with alders and raspber-
ries. | had food scattered in patches for
them until they paired. The most of them
raised broods, but they continued to be
much tanner than the native quail, and as
a consequence were nearly all shot the first
season, some Of them before the law was
up, no attention being paid to the fact that
the land was posted.
From my observation | would say peas
constitute good food for quail. Patches of
peas and buckwheat should be sown in
sheltered places on the grounds where birds
are turned out. When these are fairly
started, it is a good plan to scatter light
branches and brambles over them, so as to
furnish shelter from hawks while the birds
are feeding. Thick patches of bramble
furnish the best shelter.
There should be turned out as early as
possible an equal number of cocks and
hens. 1t is said that minated cocks break
up the nests and destroy the eggs of the
mates they could not win.
The birds should not be on hand long
enough to become familiar with man, and
SO become tame and dependent. If they
become so-and they can be made as tame
as chickens-some method should be used
. to make them wild before they are allowed
10 be shot at.
Without any knowledge on the subject,
| would conclude that birds would thrive
better on the same latitude on which they
were raised, or on the same isothermal
lines. Hence Western birds would be no
! better than Southern for the vicinity OF
New York.
