WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON-
DENSED FORM.
Rushed tho Season Four Men
OF Avon Fined for Hunting Prat-
RE Chickens-RetaIiated by Hav-
ting Game Warden Arrested.

Louis Krall, game warden or BON
homme County, and George Cox, a depu-
ty, had an interesting experience as the
result Of running upon four young men
living at Avon, who were out on the pral-
RE with their guns and a couple Of hunt
ing dogs. Under the provisions Of the
state game law this alone was prima
facie evidence that they contemplated
violating the state game law. The game
warden demanded the surrender of the
dogs and guns, but the young men refus-
ed, declaring they were simply training
their dogs preparatory to the opening OF
the shooting season.
The following day Sheriff Mcpherson
went to Avon and arrested the young
men. When taken before a justice at
Tyndall they were fined $14 each, four
prairie chickens having been found in
their possession. Had the game warden
so wished they could also have been pun
ished for resisting an officer.
Not satisfied with having es-
capped so lightly, the young men,
as an act of retaliation for their
arrest, had the game warden and
his deputy arrested on the charge of hav-
ing four prairie chickens in their posses
sion. These, as near as could be learned,
were the identical birds which the game
warden had seized from the young men.
Upon being taken before a justice, and
the facts being stated, the cases against
the game warden and his deputy Were
dismissed. The two officers were arrested
by the town marshal of Avon at l o'clock
in the morning, and a justice was routed
out Of bed to hear the case at once.
When the young men ascertained the Sc
robustness Of thus causing a game warden
unnecessary annoyance because he had
performed his duty they were glad to
drop the case.
