 Caught Partridge On Lawn. 1 young partridge, evidently suffer- | ing from a bad fright, was captured yesterday by Mrs. E. D. Warfield, who found it running about the lawn in 1 front of her home on Park street. | The bird was too exhausted to fly and | fearing that it would be a prey to ! cats, Mrs. Warfeld took it into the | house, subsequently notifying M. A. Norton, a representative of the local 1 fish and game association, of her find.
 MT. Norton took the bird home, in- tending to liberate it after it recov cred it's strength. It died, however, apparently from fright. The hunting season opened yester- Gay and it is believed the partridge was scared from it's usual haunts.
