GAME GROWS SCARCE

Hutchinson. Kan. May S.-Sheriff
K. G. Beck, who is extensively engaged
in tho propagating and shipping of wild
birds and animals for scientific and
amusement purposes, doesn't propose
to abandon a business which he has
worked up for II years, just because
one Professor L. L. Dyche has it in
for him.
Professor Dyche has refused to issue
state permit to Mr.. Beck under the
game law. Mr.. Beck, by advice of at
torneys, declares he will continue his
business without permit.
Dyche, as state game warden now
threatens to prosecute Beck for violat-
knock Dyche's game law higher than
a. kite in the supreme court If he
doesn't watch out.
Mr.. Beck made the following state
ment:
when Dyche was here a few days
ago he told me, in the county attor-
neys Office and in Mr.. Foote's pres
ence, that the attorney general was his
attorney, and he would go according
to what Attorney General Dawson
said.
Talked 1t Over.
ct went to Topeka and we went to
the attorney general together. Mr..
Dawson saids after hearing both sides
of the case. that under his version
was not violating the law, and that If

cording to Mr.. Dyche's own agreement,
that ought to settle the matter.

innate game propagating and shipping
business for over IL years. 1 had an
opinion from Attorney General Coleman
that I had legal right to ship for the
purpose I was. I have never shipped
a bird used for game in the sense of the
law.
I'm every case the birds have been
shipped either for exhibition in pub

private propagating purposes

'Does this look like shipping game
for slaughter?" added Mr.. Beck as he
opened two letters that came in this
mornings mail. One was from To-
peka man who enclosed $3.50 for a
pair of peafowls and a pheasant. The
other was from the New York city zoo
logical commission, ordering some birds
for exhibition purposes.
