 Yesterday afternoon about 2:30 a horse, the property of the Lilley, Swift & Co, tried to butt into the grocery store of John Stokes on Bank street, and although It got by the first barrier, the plate glass window, it's head was so badly battered that 1t gave up the effort to get within the store. The animal was hitched to a delivery wagon and while the driver was in a nearby store the horse walked up on the icy walk. slipped in such a manner tha. when 1t was falling its head struck with a crash the large plate window which it shattered into pieces. The steed was knocked out temporarily because of the collision with the glass and suffered much pain. It was quickly unhitched and taken to the Stokes's barn in the rear of the store. A vet erinary surgeon was summoned and it required several stitches to sew up the wound In the horses head. Another horse had to be secured to take the wagon back to the barn.
 -One of the bills which 1t was in- tended to introduce during the pres ent session of the legislature was a bill advocated by Hans Rasmussen in connection with other game laws that were introduced. It was to the effect that all farmers or all persons should be paid $5 for every crow killed. It was to be pushed through in order to appease some of the resi- dents of the outlying districts who were not pleased with some game laws introduced. Although a person would not imagine that the remuner- ation to be gained from the killing of the crows would be large, yet in some parts of the state the black pests are very numerous. Bob" Wal ker, who was in Bethlehem yester- day. said that on the farm of Lewis Atwood. which is between Water town and Woodbury, he saw a flock of crows which must have numbered a thousand. Because of the heavy fall of snow the crows find 1t hard to obtain food and gather in large fiocks in cornfields. As Atwood's s farm has corn stacks extending over an extensive area the crows had gathered in very large numbers.
