CHICKEN HUNTERS
Have Trouble in Eastern Dakota
They Must Observe the

Law.
Paul Linnet, game warden for
Brown county, went to Frederick on
Saturday morning to arrest R. w.
Parliman, the Sioux Falls attorney
whose box of chickens, shipped con-
trary to the state OF South Dakota,
was seized at the Milwaukee depot
by the game warden on Friday even
ing, as it was on it's way to Sioux
Falls. The box was tightly closed
and had it not been for a piece of
the wrapping sticking out through
one of the cracks it would have gone
through unnoticed.
The game warden found his man
after a long drive last Saturday, out
of Frederick in Mcpherson county,
near Sutherland postoffice. He was,
the warden said, very unwilling to
came to Aberdeen as he wanted to
finish his hunt.
Linnet told him that he had a
warrant for his arrest and that he
would have to go along with him to
Aberdeen. Parliman, who is lawyer
in Sioux Falls, also pleaded that he
was unfamiliar with the law regard
ing the shipping of chickens.
On their arrival in this city Parli-
man appeared before Justice Jones
and gave bail for 800 for his ap-
pearance in court at 10 O'Clock on
Monday morning. The bond was
signed by A. w. Campbell. Parliman
is greatly excited over the matter and
says that he will fight the case to a
finish and thoroughly test the law.
f, Linnet says that he found number
Of witnesses around Frederick, who
would be willing to go on the stand
and swear that the birds shipped
through Aberdeen on Friday evening,
were shot on Thursday, the day be-
fore the season opened. So it is ex-
tremely liable that the defendant will
| have to give an account of himself in
court on two charges: That of il
legally shipping the birds and that OF
shooting them out of season.
1t is also extremely probable that
the express company handling the
birds has made itself liable and it
will probably be given a chance tc
explain it's conduct. From a state.
ment made by the prosecuting attor
ney of Brown county, 1t is probable
that the matter will be pushed to the
limit.

before Justice Jones and through hi
attorney, A. w. Campbell, took

court, the trial to commence at fou
