DEVILS LAKE WILL SEND MANY
REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE
SLAUGHTER.
GAME LAWS WERE DIsc1resEr
TODAY-HUNTING PERMITS
GALORE ISSUED,
PARTS Will Go In Every Direction
From City-Some Have Already
Started Out to be On the Ground
Early-Devils Lake Will Be Desert
ed Tomorrow.

The slaughter of chickens will be-
gin tomorrow and the reservation is
apparently the favored spot, although
the sportsmen will go north, east,
having already been formed to depart
this afternoon.
The county auditors office will keep
open this evening to supply all with
permits. The eight hundred mark was
reached today and the thousand mark
is expected by tomorrow. Fully two
hundred permits were issued yesterday.
Chicken will be the main hunting to-
morrow, although few parties will
enjoy the early duck hunting. The
chickens abound in this section as we'll
as over the state and the crop is re-
ported to far excel that Of last year.
Their is no doubt but what every hunt
er will get the limit on the opening
days shooting.
Lou Dawson, the regular early riser
on Sept. z, will go in the direction of
Warwick, accompanied by Mrs: Daw-
son and Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Holland.
DR.. Jones with his best hunting dogs
will enjoy the sport in company with
Superintendent Ziebach of Fort Tot
ten.

Herman Huesgen left today for War
wick to partake of the festive bird
shooting and the Twill be joined by
William Shirley tomorrow.
Charles Smith will go north with a
party Of sportsmen to enjoy the open
ing day. while Charles Grimes and Ed.
Elliott depart for Sweetwater Lake.
Game Warden Duis. Thomas Turner
and Harry Kneeshaw left yesterday to
open camp in the Lakota country south
of that city.
Napoleon Lambert of the New York
Cash store is another that will join the
merry crowd, but has not decided
where he is going.
Several other hunting parties are be-
ing formed and with the exodus from
Devils Lake tomorrow the city will,
without question, present the most de-
serted appearance that has been evil
dent since year ago.
