Snipe is Game Bird.
c. B. Monpareil.

In the discussionof the game
laws the close of the season, the
question as to whether snipe
are numbered among the game
birds that are to be protected
has been brought up among the
sportsmen. Many maintained
that snipe are not protected and
t 'lat it is legal to hunt them at
any time. In view of the GER
tainty Deputy Game Warden
Woolman asked for the opinion
of County Attarney Hess, and
Mr.. Hess has no hesitation in
holding thatthe snipe is a marsh
bird and falls under the protec-
ton of the game laws as fully
as does the duck. His opinion
in the matter reads:
RELATIVE to your inquiry as
to whether or not jacksnipes are
protected by the game laws of
this state, would say that |
have carefully examined sec
ton 2551 of the code and find
that it provides that no marsh
or beach bird shall be killed be-
tween the 18th of April and the
LIST day of September. AS the
jacksnipe is a marsh bird, there
is no doubt about it's being pro-
tected by this law.
81 have looked into the mat
ter as to whether or not the
jacksnipe isincluded in the term
"marsh bird" and have no hest
fancy in saying that it is, and
therefore, it is my opinion, that
it would be unlawful to shoot
jacksnipes after April 18th and
this being the law, in my opin-
ion, it would be my duty and
yours to prosecute any person
who violates the law by killing
these birds. Yours very truly"

A Surprise
When John L. Shelton came
home from his blacksmith shop
for dinner yesterday, he found
his home crowded with rela-
tives and friends, and two
large dining room tables laden
with everything needful for an
excellent menu.
Although John had taken
many criminals into his custody
when county sheriff, he was
rather loath to tackle such a
crowd, but finally he mustered
up courage to shake hands
with all. When he had washed
and changed his habiliments
and somewhat quieSed his
nerves from the great shock,
all were seated at the tables,
and thoroughly enjoyed the
menu.
Thirty-eight were present
and several valuable and beau
|tiful presents were left to re-
mind John that he had come
to the 53rd mile stone in the
journey of life.
The Times extends congratu-
lations, and wishes John many
more happy anniversaries and
many flowers of love along
