A gentleman residing in Verona

last week, as he was tying his team to
a hitching post in this city, to find one
of his hens perched on the reach OF
his carriage. The fowl had ridden to

cold day when she come to town

On Wednesday last, E. Z. Miller, sec
rotary game league for Nicollet and Le
Sueur counties, received by express from
State Game Warden Fullerton, twent
Monaghan pheasants, and on Thursda
morning last turned them loose in the
woods in this vicinity for the purpose OF
an increase in time. 1t is said these
birds multiply very fast, and if the,
do well, it will not be many years un
til they will be plentiful and rare sport
for the gunners if left alone and pro
tected until the time they can be law
fully shot, which is January lst, 1910.
There is heavy fine for one caught
shooting them any sooner. They are a
handsome bird, larger than the native
pheasant, with longer tail feathers, and
can easily be told from the common
pheasant. 1t should be the aim of honor
able sportsmen to see that the Mongol-
ians are proteeted.-St. Peter Tribune.
