state fish and game warden, have been
doing good work. Prior to their go
ing there an indisoriminate slaughter
OF young birds was going on morning
and night In that vicinity. This is now
stopped One young man by the name
OF Ed HaH was arrested the other day
for shooting three blue-winged teais
Being the first arrest, and. the young
man showing good character, he was
let off with the minimum fine of s15
fivt dollars of which was remitted,
the deputy game warden waving his
informer's fee. and the young man was
let off as easily as possible. Later an
other man was fined $3.50 for killing
duck and two prairie chickens. Mr..
Delavan and his deputies are not de-
sirous OF prosecuting anyone, but it
may as we'll be understood that he
will use every means within his power
to prevent the destruction of game in
Iowa out of season and, save 1t for those
who are willing to observe the law and
give the birds fair chance until the
opening OF the season. The number
OF teals and mallards and prairie chick
ems in northwestern Iowa is some-
thing enormous, and the shooting is
bound to be good all during the fall,
because there is such an enormous
quantity of feed in the country. The
native birds where they have been pro-.
tected will be in prime condition at
the opening of the season. They are
already pretty good flyers

REMARKABLE VERDICT.
Jury Says Man Died from Blood
Poisoning Caused by q Scratch
Five Years Ago.

A most remarkable verdict was re-
turned in Fort Dodge by coroner's
Jury. The sudden and suspicious
death of laboring man named John
G. Angquist caused the coroner, Dr..
Il. Rose. to hold IN inquest over the
remains. The jury returned a verdict
that the man had died from blood
poisoning caused by scratch in his
foot which he received five years ago.
The claim was that the blood poison
ing was chronic. The verdict and
its acceptance by the coroner is the
subject of much comment here among
physicians and others.
