A CHICKEN HUNT.
Story of a Journey for King OF
Game Birds.
State Officers and Politicians in
Sand Hills.
HAVE FAIR SUCCESS.
They Bag Seventy-Six Birds in
Two Days.
Some Phenomenal Shooting Is
Done by Hunters.

Dell Travis, State Game War
den, Acted as ChaperOn.

A few years ago the game bird
known as the prairie hen, but which
| is really the pinnated grouse, had
practically disappeared from Kansas.
Whether they IeH before the reIent-
less pursuit of the market hunter,
were victims of the 6eep SHOWS and
cold winters or were carried away by
disease is not known. All that is
known definitely is that the focks of
untold thousands which were found
all over Kansas were no more and
that the prairie chicken had become a
rare bird on the Kansas prairies.
This was practically the history of
the buffalo, but unlike the American
bison the prairie hen REFUSED to be
exterminated and prairie chickens are
growing more plentiful year by year.
1t is true that this increase has been
sas counties but this king of western
game birds is also reappearing in the
eastern sections and few coveys are
known to live in Shawnee county.
There are several factors which
will tend to prevent the extinction of
the prairie chicken in the near flu
ture. The most potent is the fact that
the market hunter has been banished
from Kansas by the alert and watch
full state game warden, Mr.. Dell
Travis of Pratt Another is that the
season is now so late that the birds are
more or less able to take care of
themselves. When the chicken is
young hunters are able to destroy an
entire covey because the young when
once put up fly but a short dis
lance and the hunters are able with
little difficulty to again start them.
A full grown prairie chicken often
flies a half mile and sometimes en-
tirely beyond the reach of the hunt
er's eye. The ani-pass law may also
benefit the prairie chickens because it
viii tend to discourage the hunters
who go long distances for their an
nuaI chicken hunt.
This year the largest number of To-
peka people went to Trego county and
most of them were disappointed. The
weather was intensely hot and dry,
the dogs did not work we'll and the
last year. Old hunters say that the
eggs were chilled by the late freezes
last spring and many coveys never
saw the light of day. Still people who
knew the county brought back fair
bags of the popular fowl, the average
being not far from half dozen birds
per day for each man,

PAID BIG FINES.
Hartman Roads S35O,OOO, santa Fe
1888, 900 in One Year.

San Francisco, Sept. 2S.-It became
known today that the Southern Pacific
company, which has a contract to
carry the United States mails for ST.
100000 a year, has been fined in the
aggregate $15O.OOO in the last twelve
months by the postoffice department
for its failure to deliver the mails
within half an hour of the time on its
published schedule. Negligence of the
company's employees in failing to han
die mail bags carefully, and in leaving
them where they were damaged by
being run over or their contents dam
aged by exposure to the elements were
also punished by fines.
In the same period and for the same
reasons the other Hartman roads
have been fined a total of 100000,
making $350,000 in fines for the en-
Atchison, Topeka e. Santa Fe has been
fined a total of $2S3,000 for the same
period. Fines for having mail trains
late in excess of half an hour are not
collected where the delay is due to I'M
avoidable accidents. OF this the post
Office department is the judge. When
the delay is due to a connecting line,
fines are not levied. The government
has it own prompt method of collect
ing these fines. 1t takes the latter out
of the contract payments due road
before making payment to it. This is
a new method of collection and was
authorized by the passage of a law at
the last session of congress.
1t appears that agents of the railway
mail service, under instructions from
the postofnce department, have been
making very thorough investigation of
the mail train time not only of the
Southern Pacific and Atchison To-
peka G. Santa Fe, but of all the other
roads in the country. Relative to the
former two roads, it is understood
that these agents have filed hundreds
of instances of where both their over
land and local mail trains were late
from one to fourteen hours. There
were also many cases where mail was
damaged because of the carelessness
of employees. The Southern Pacific
and Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
have been fined in past years for the
same reasons, but in the last twelve
months their records in that respect
are the worst they have ever had. it is
said. As a consequence head men of
the Southern Pacific and the Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe chiefs are calling
their operating subordinates to strict
account.

gentleman needed some shells for his
shot gun and he put his hand hur-

in contact with the turtle. He

nearly all scored by the time the
house was reached so that the total
number on hand was Is prairie

Mr. McCollister had sent a cook and
provisions to the ranch and lunch was
well under way when the hunters ar
rived. There is a large artificial pond
near the house where water is stored
for the cattle. In dry times both
windmills might be put to work but
one of them only was on duty now.
The water supply never raIis and the
pump is never turned off. When
there is wind the pump keeps going
and when there is no wind there is
enough stored up in the tank to keep
the cattle supplied. The painting dogs
lost no time in immersing themselves
in the tank and the horses were
turned out to Craze.

tered over a few acres but owing. to
the lack of ammunition the kill was
rather limited and Hupp and Chap
pelle were probably justified in the
things they said audibly as well as
under their breaths. There is moth

game and be out of ammunition.
There are a few antelope in the
