A Sioux Falls special dispatch to
the Sioux City Journal, sage: "A
farmer who lives In the vicinity of
Madison was in the city to-day selling
fsh which were taken from Lake Mad
icon with a seine. He brought down
about a ton of fish and a y he has
three tons left which he will ship to
eastern markets. The law of South
Dakota pi escribes a heavy penalty for
catching or destroying fish from jan
uarv to May of each year. but no
attention is paid to it. This farmer
tells of a rather queer state of affairs
that now exists.at Madison over an
attempt made there recently to en-.
force the law against trapping prairie
chickens. Farmers in Lake county
have been doing an extensive business
this winter trapping prairie chickens
and selling them to parties who ship
them to Boston where they have been
receiving "a so to 81 per dozen for
the chickens. A number of business
men of Madison formed a gun club
for the purpose of stopping the traffic.
and had one farmer arrested rs he was
preparing to ship two barrels of chick.
ems After a couple Of trials and con
siderable expense to the county the
farmer escaped. as it was impossible
to convict him. It was known that
lots OF the game birds were In the
hands of clippers. SO the gun club sent
men to all the stations in the vicinity
to catch anyone who would ship them.
but they did not look after their ow u
station properly, and 1,40O chickens
were shipped during the time the trial
was going on. During the day a
shipper brought in seven barrels Of
potatoes and placed them in a car.
They broken into but nothing but
potatoes were found. In the evening
the shipper brought in his 1,40O
chickens which had been packed 10
barrels and placed them in the car,
thus fooling the members Of the gun
club"
