A large number of Mitchell hunt
ers put in the day Thursday bunting
the prairie chicken, and they had a
pretty wet day of it. In the early
morning hours a heavy fog was in
evidence and later i'm the day it came
down in the shape of d good rain.
In general the hunters had pretty
good success. some parties of four OF
five killing as high as forty birds.
Other parties went out and failed to
scare up a chicken. The birds are
quite plentiful IN all parts of the
county and shooting on a fair day
is good.
a delegation Of % citizens of Ash
ton paid a visit to Mitchell Saturday
and they we're shown over the city
during the afternoon. returning
home on the late train. Several Of
the party were out to Pierre a couple
of weeks ago and it took then three
days to go and return, and they saw
moro in tho few hours thew wnre in
Mitchell than they saw the whole
time they were in Pierre. They
we're free to express the opinion that
Mitchell was vastly superior to Pierre
for a capital location. and really the
only thing Of interest they saw out
there was the buffalo ranch owned
by Scotty Phillips. The party were
we'll pleased with the time spent
in Mitchell.
