threatened to destroy the bagp1pes

time, the defendant Keenan, ap-

knife, called out Where are those
BuIgarians?" and the trouble start
ed. After the battle one Bulgarian,
Pete Henoff, was dead, stabbed to

twenty minutes after the fight, at

he had already taken his departure.
He kept on his trail however, and
finally caused his arrest in Cleve-

was brought back for trial. Large
subscriptions for his defence were
made by all the Servians along the

County Attorney Ralph A. stone,

LITERARY CLUB WOULD
PROTECT BIRD LIFE
Has Been Studying Bird Lore and
Ask Cooperation of Other Nor
ris Citizens

On April 8, 1917, the Morris Lit
erary Club held its last regular meet
ing at the home of Mrs. Hemmlng'
the President Mrs. J. e. Cole, preslo-
ing. Sixteen members responded 10
roll call. each telling her experience
with bird nesting which proved 10
be very interesting as we'll as IN
structive. without doubt each one
will take a greater interest in the
birds and their habits this spring.
Mrs. Cooley read very able ana
instructive paper, entitled "PreserV-
alton and Laws Protecting Mlgra-
torv Birds" She said If there were
not more stringent laws protecting
the shore birds and the sOngsters,
they were fast becoming extinct, and
this would be a great detr1ment 10
the country, as they are the farmers
friend. and our great forests would
soon go to destruction from the et-
fects of the insects. The b1rds' lives
are in constant danger from the
time they start on their fight north
ward until their return, as the bird
protection laws differ in d1HerenC
states. birds that are protected In
northern states are hunted in the
southern states.
There is a treaty with regard to
bird protection between Canada ana
the United States. This fOrblds SEED
birds to be shot and allows only
three and half months yearly for
the open hunting season. The laws
of Canada are much more strict than
those of the United States.
President Wilson named Spirit IS
land in Lake Mile Laos, the first
Federal Bird Reserve in Minnesota to
be set aside for the home of birds
Mostly shore birds nest here.
The Fish and Game Commission
DESIGNATED a tract of land, extend
ing five miles back from the shore
around Lake MinnetOnka as came
Refuge, the only one of its klnd IN
the United States. This is for shore
and seed birds. Hunting has been
forbidden in this district, and the
residents in this locality have be-
come greatly interested in bird lore.
Mrs. A. P. Anderson also read a
fine paper on "Winter Birds and
Their Habits" She told about the
nuthatch and chickadee being with
us all winter and that we can see
these birds fitting up and down
the trunks of trees looking for in
sects. We should aid these little
fellow in their search for food by
mailing a piece of beef or suet on the
trunks of trees about five or six feet
from the ground. Among the other
beneficial winter birds are the
shrike, snowbird, owls, brown creep
er. grouse and prairie chicken. The
farmer should scatter grain around
in the vicinity of these birds in the
winter, as many die Of starvation
when there is a heavy snow fall.
The club has taken great inter
est in bird study this winter and we
hope the whole town will join us IN
this work. More birds are destroyed
by cats than from any other cause
so if you have a cat dispose of he1
at once before she gets in her dead
ly work.

Don't Throw Rubbish Along Roads

Steve Sax, who keeps the state
roads in and out Of Norris in such
excellent condition, informs us that
some people are in the habit of
dumping a jag of old cans, glass and
rubbish along the roads. This maxi
ing dumping ground of the side of
the road is not only against the law,
but also evidence that the person
who does it takes no pride in the
neat and clean appearance of our
little city and its approaches. I'm
less the practice is stopped, prose-
cutions will be instituted by the
authorities against tie persons who
are known to have committed the
nuisance.
