There is great deal OF just COM
plant over the action Of Supt. Peterson
who has charge Of the Abilene GENE
terry In keeping the gates locked almost
constantly. On Sunday, as beautiful
n day as central Kansas has seen in
long time, many who have friends laid
away In the "city of the dead" drove
up to visit the graves but found the
gates locked. They have a right to
enter and 1t is unwsrranted aud un-
called for arrogance to lock them out.
We have received many inquiries
regarding the exact provisions Of the
new game law forbidding the destruc
tion of prairie chicken and quail. The
bill does not repeal the PROVISION OF the
present law which makes 1t possible
for persons to hunt upon the grounds OF
others with the permission OF the own
ers. The new law simply makes 1t
misdemeanor to offer for sale prairie
chicken or quail. People can kill for
their own use all that they want, and
II they have the permission of the
owner any one can kill. The object Of
the bill is to stop the reckless shooting
OF the prairie chicken and quail which
are Of great value to the farmers
because they destroy insects, bugs and
other pests.
