Mr.. A. Mechler, who Is the pro-
prietor OF a fine farm on the Me-
dina, gave some market hunters,
camping on his place last week, q
good tongue lashing, when he
found out that they were shooting
quail for the market. The party
had an ambulance to which was
attached a large ice box. Mr.
Mechler did not object to their
shooting on his premises until the
hunters, who had dozens of quail
on the ice, told him that they
wanted to keep the birds in good
shape 80 as to be able to sell them.
That was too much for the good old
farmer and he forthwith ordered
them off the premises with the ad-
monition never to return.

cheerfully given:
Notice to Market Hunters In
asmuch as thousands of quail have
been killed in our pastures every

protect the game birds of our
country, we, the undersigned citi-

after allow no hunting in our pas

have sufficient cause to regret it.

ihe American and other foreign residents
It tho hands of the Bocrs. Hammond de-
,lares that the reform movement in Jo-

hat the United States government bring
pressure to bear on the Transvaal govern

With Great Britain to coerco the Beers.
