d I he hunting season opened very
auspici ciously w e1nesday and from the
reports of the hunters who hunted
from the start of. the season, birdssare
very plentiful, but also very wild.
Sixty five chickens is as much 20 IS
claimed by any party so far, this BY

very lucky to, be able to report q half

Sherman Lewis, Everett Doten and

while DIR. Meyer and s. E. Belts, VINO
also got fair bag Wednesday, re-
turned to the fields yesterday morn

another try at the birds. The latter
with Chas. Guernon and Mark Buck

having q score of chickens. All are
anxiOuklv awaiting the return of Chas.
Young and party from the eastern
part of the county. as during past
seasons this party. have been eminently
successful. The general opinion seems
to be that 40 very largel bags Of the
prairie chickens will be secured by
the hunters this year, as the season
has been so early that the birds are
about months growth larger than
last year, and much wilder. 1t IS
stated that a hundred or more have
been seen in one bunch, but that it is
next to impossible to get close enough
to get a good shot at them.
