Which Puts the Animals 70 Sleep.

II is claimed that the Firms OF Chip
pewa county are guilty OF violating
the game laws in rather novel way.
Deer are naturally fond OF turnips
and trick OF the Firms is 10 satur-
ate number OF the vegetables with
chlorofrm and place them near where
the deer come out OF the woods TO
feed. They swallow the turnips be-
fore they taste the poison and In a
short time are sleeping peacefully on
the ground The Firms then creep
up and Kill them. AS a result OF the
innovation the sale OF guns and am
munItlon In the neighborhood has
fallen on considerably. This story r.
told the game warden as an unbiased
truth. but II sounds little hshy.
