GIN BUYS De POT SITE
WOULD PROTECT THE BIRDS
Professor Bolley Makes Plea for the
Abolition Of Spring Shooting in
North Dakota.

Prof. H. l.. Bolley. 1t may be
matter of interest to hunters and low
ers of game birds to know that there
is movement on foot in Iowa and
South Dakota to prohibit spring shoot
ing of all game birds. This comes
about because the student of such
birds of passage has observed that
originally the natural nesting places
of many varieties of ducks, snipe and
even of geese were originally the
borders of the lakes of these
three states and Minnesota; but now
the birds by spring shooting are driv-
en- farther and farther to the north
ward with the result that these states
will eventually lose the presence of
these valuable birds. North Dakota
has been a great breeding place for
ducks. These breeding grounds have
been largely destroyed because of the
drainage of coolies and small swamp
areas and by the extended blowing
up of many such areas. There are yet,
however, many large areas in the state
where the birds would remain through
the summer and rear young in pro-
fusion, if they were protected from the
miscellaneous summer, and spring
shooting, which drives them from the
nesting grounds which they have pre-
viously visited.
These birds are all harmless and
all valuable as food producers, ano
would rear their young almost in the
dorways of the farmers if they were
protected. AS it is now, a large flock
of ducks reach this region just in time
for the nesting season, and some one
for the sake of procuring one or two
birds, or perhaps only for the pleasure
of taking shot at something immed-
lately fires into the flock at the first
opportunity. Such birds, after this
shooting, may make flights of three and
four hundred miles to the northwest
before again stopping. North Dakota
will soon have driven away from it
a number of birds of much interest
and great value.
Would not the next legislative as
sembly be a good time to consider the
advisability Of having uniform laws
in Iowa, Minnesota, North and South
Dakota protecting these game birds in
the nesting season and from the shoot
ers who destroy the young on the
water before they can properly fly?
These birds are a matter of educa-
tional interest to the boys and girls
of the state as we'll as mere matter
of cash and epicurean pleasure.

Asking Additional Compensation

Congressman a. J. Cronna has in

lowing is partial copy OF the Dill:

APPLICATION TO Be
MADE FOR
BAIL
In the Case of julius Tysver
and Blake Gage at Mondak,
Montana.
NO DIRECT EVIDENCE
Was Brought Out as to Beat
inf of Thompson and no
Motive Shown.
10 DIRECT EVIDENCE

An application will be made soon
to the supreme court of Montana for
the admittance to bail of julius Tysver
and Blake Gage, and for the fixing of
said bail. These two men, the former
of Grand Forks, were bound over to
the district court at Mondak several
days ago on charge of numbering
Mitchell Thompson, also formerly of
Grand Forks. At the preliminary
hearing Tysver and Gage were bound
over without bail.
The father of Julius Tysver, who is
a prominent farmer living near Grand
Forks and s. G. Skulason have re-
turned from Mondak where they at
tended the hearing. At this examin-
alton there was no direct evidence to
show that either Tysver or Gage had
beaten Thompson. The dead man
came to his death, according to a
Williston doctor through being beaten.
AS brought out at the hearing, Thomp-
son was placed on the train at Mon
dak by Tysver, Gage and another man.
After bringing Thompson from the
Tysver saloon to the depot, Tysver and
Gage returned to the formers place
of business to secure Thompson's
trunk. When they arrived at the
depot Thompson was lying on the
floor. A small pool of blood was also
discovered just underneath his head.
When the train arrived, Thompson
was placed on it, and a ticket to
Grand Forks was also given him. Soon
after the train left Mondak, Thomp-
son fell from the seat to the floor, and
it is supposed that he died while
there.
Inasmuch as there was no direct
evidence to show that Tysver or Gage
had beaten Thompson, and as no pos
sible motive for the murder of Thomp-
son either by Tysver or Gage was
shown, it is expected that the supreme
court will allow bail. Thompson and
Tysver, it is claimed, had always been
chums. They went west two months
ago together, intending to take land
but for some reason or other changed
their plans.
