comedy and is decided novelty in

is departure from the average

TO kill game birds out of season but
also to even have them In possession

George w. Morgan. proprietor of the

by Deputy Game Warden William
Blneley charging him with unlawfully
having game birds In his possession.
Morgan says that he will fight the
case. and has engaged Judge Orlando
Powers to pick the law to pieces. 1t
IS claimed that the law Is unconsti-
tutional in that the state has no right
to bar any person from shipping quail
here from the cast. The state, it is
said. only has jurisdiction over tho
game birds within its own borders.
Morgan says that he received the
Quail from George f. Sloane &c Com
