Defense in a Game Law Case Is
Tina, the Game Caused Its
Own Destruction.

NEBRASKA CITY. Neb.. Dec. "a.
Does the state game law own a
loophole by which a prairie chick
on can commit sulcide7
That is something being
thraahed out They caught an
Omaha man with a defunct prairie
chicken In his game bag. IN spite
Of the law against killing prairie
chickens.
but the Omaha man said he
hoped the law would not be hard
on the poor bird. The prairie
chicken probably was ignorant Of
the law, and besides. Il was it's
first offense. For. he said. the
chicken had "croaked" itself.
II was this way lie was cross
ing the per-airie The sun was
shining and all nature was at
peace. He had observed the lone
~ prairie chicken sitting between
two rocks. just TO shelter II from
the blast he had dropped his hat
over H. In the hat was hole
The chicken put its head through
the hole and strolled away. The
hole WAS altogether too small and
the bird choked to death To re.
cover his hat he had TO pick up
the bird.
The game law will have To be
revised II II Is going TO allow
prairie chickens to slaughter
themselves In this manner.

by President Roosevelt in speech that he had

Of these sees the genuine demecTacy of the man:
common humanity cherishes and holds dear. He
was mighty leader because he Interpreted the

insure their highest development. To this end he
labored. with malice toward none, with charity
for ALL and during the weary and anxious
months OF the dread conflict in which he became
