GAME PRESERVE
IS ESTABLISHED
Number of Land Owners Sign Leases
to the State Game Warden for
Five Year Term.
FIRST SHIPMENT WAS SATURDAY
Twenty-Five Hungarian Partridges
Were Liberated, and Now Max
ing Home in the Woods

Through the efforts Of Mr.. George
McHenry a game preserve has been
established in Crawford county, which
comprises in the neighborhood of six
teen hundred acres being located just
north of Denison in Goodrich town
ship. 1t took considerable work on
the part of Mr.. McHenry to secure the
necessary leases from land owners
on which the preserve is located, and
have these papers properly filled out
and filed with the state officers, and
the work was only completed last
week.
The game preserve takes in Grace
park and the property owned by c. F..
Cassaday, J. T. Carey, w. A. Lamborn,
Jacob Weiss, Ben Smith, c. w. Tuck

of section SO and the east half of sec
ton IS in Goodrich township, and sec
lions and 2 in Denison township, east
of the road running on the east side of
the Boyer river to Deloit. All of these
land owners have signed leases, grant
| ing the right to b. G. Hinshaw, Fish
and game warden of the State of Iowa,
to establish a game preserve on their
farms, for period of five years. The
lease does not in any way obstruct or
interfere with their using the property
but for such purposes as they may de-
sire, except only as may necessarily
result from the establishment of a
game preserve. 1t does forbid, how
ever, the right to hunt upon all OF the
above mentioned farms by any person
during the coming five years, and all
parties found hunting upon these prem
Uses will be prosecuted by the state to
the fullest extent of the law.
We understand that the State
authorities will post signs around the
entire preserve, warning hunters not
to trespass within the bounds of this
tract of land A number of preserves
have been established in other parts OF
the State and it is proposed to stock
these preserves with game birds which
would thrive in this particular locality.
The first shipment OF birds arrived in
Denison Saturday, being twenty-five
pairs of Hungarian cartridges, Which
were liberated that evening. The Hun
garian partridge is bird which re-
sembles in color that of the ordinary
quail, but considerable larger, being
almost as large as the ordinary prairie
chicken. They are extremely wild and
thrive best in wooded country, and
the game preserve here is particularly
adapted for their propagation. These
birds multiply quite rapidly and in
five years time there should be any
number of them on the preserve.
Hunters in this locality are more
than pleased with the establishment
of the game preserve in Denison, and
will see to it that the game birds plac-
ed in this preserve are fully protected.
No doubt some of these birds Will
leave the preserve at times, but hunt
ers should bear in mind that it is
against the law to shoot pheasants in
this state and that there presence
does not warrant their being killed.
