Letter Sent Out BY Game War
den Carlos Avery To the
People

Game Warden W. Z. Polzin has re
ceived an appeal from State Game
and Fish Commissioner Carlos Avery,
asking that campaign be started in
this vicinity to feed the quail. The
letter states that not since the winter

difficulty in getting food. The early
snow has made food inaccessible.
Farmers, sportsmen and school
children are asked TO join in the
campaign to feed the birds. a spe-
cial appeal has been sent Mr.. Polzin
10 organize the work in this vicinity.
Quail are among the most beneficial
birds to farmers and it should be to
their interest TO assist in feeding
them during the winter months. Mr..
Tolzin stated that anv farmers who
wished pay for feed they gave the
birds should communicate with Hen
r. Kruse, chairman of the committee
OF the Southern Minnesota Game.

DEPARTURE WAS HAsTY
w. w. Member Who Was Injured
In Northwester Rail Wreck.

~ fNOttbW(otCtI Ftaft WYNN.
One of the victims of the railroad
wreck last Wednesday morning was
Kurt Leonard Brodden. giving his
home at Sioux City. He had a bad
cut below the eye, piercing the eye
ball. He was taken to st. Johns
hospital While taking some papers
out of his pockets to show to the
nurse, he accidently dropped his red
!. W. w. card, says The Springfield
Free Press. The nurse chided him
about it. She went downstairs to
get something and he evidently sus-
pected that she was going to report
him. He jumped out of bed, into his
clothes and beat it. In his haste he
left copy of the official l. w. w.
paper, published in the German Ian
guage. This has been turned over to
Postmaster VIM. Mueller. Brodden
took the special train for the cities.
He had settled his claim for $50
but on the train he claimed he was
going TO the cities to see a lawyer.
Company employees and physicians on
the train prevailed upon him to stop
off at Mankato for examination by
the company physician. He agreed to
do SO. We did not learn whether he
did or not. His hasty departure
would lead one to think that Spring
field was not considered a safe place
for members of that organization.
Brodden was Swede, had Cana
dian uniform and claims to have
served two years in the war, losing
two fingers. He had discharge
