-COupidlHU lids Ueen maze OF Illegal
shooting of prairie chickens in the
vicinity of st. Clair. One of our mer-
chants was there Sunday and reports
great slaughter of young chickens,
one man having few days previous
killed so or 60. This is all wrong, and
ought to be looked into. If there is
not a game warden near, one ought to
be appointed. The gentleman who
gave us the above information has
been giving the matter considerable
thought and has arrived at the con-
clusiOn that as August is about the
only month when the game law is
seriously violated in this section of
the state, the law ought to be amend
ed SO that deputy wardens could
be appointed for that month and draw
good salaries. These would keep an
efficient watch and would prevent the
violation of the law. The cost would
not be great, and the game would be
preserved. When prairie chickens be-
come extinct in this state, as they
have further east, the people will re-
alize that active steps to protect
them are necessary.
