SPRINGFIELD, COLORADO.
WANTS THE BYERs ROAD
Favors Byers Road Because He Gave
Present Prospect and 10 Only
Salvation and Hope

Springfield, Baca county, Colora-
do, wants railroad, and they want
Byers to build it, because, as the
Springfield Democrat-Herald puts it,
che has given us our present pros
pect, and is our only salvation and
hope"
A big meeting was held at Spring
field recently and movement star
ted to have the legislature create a
special benefit district in order that
a section Of Baca county be enabled
to vote bonds to aid in building a
railroad.
The meeting was largely attended
and enthusiasm was at high pitch
and the plan was heartily endorsed.
Plans are under way for submitting
a proposition at special session of
the Colorado legislature which is to
be called at an early date. Should
the proposition be allowed by the
legislature, the building of the X.
& o. into Colorado will be an assured
fact, as Byers will no doubt be pleas
ed to extend the road if sufficient
aid is given.

BOY SCOUTS MAY PLAY
WICHITA BASKET BALL

In attendance at the last Boy
Scout basket ball game was Lorentz
Schmidt of Wichita, the architect for
the new school building, and inciden-
tally president Of the Wichita Boy
Scout Council, and a representative
citizen of Wichita, and as such he
was challenged by the captain of the
Liberal Boy Scouts team for game.
Mr.. Schmidt, upon his return home
conveyed the challenge to the proper
parties, and it may be in the near fu-
ture game will be played between
the two Scout teams here in Liberal.
The matter of finances has been
checked up to Paul Gray, captain of
the Liberal team, and he will en-
deavor to secure the necessary funds
to bring the Wichita team here.
Our Boy Scouts have a good fast
team, and while there is no doubt
but what Wichita also has fast one,
we believe our boys could carry off
the honors in such a match Mr..
Schmidt will be in Liberal Friday of
this week, and it may be that he will
have some definite information.
O. w. Hall of Dodge City was Lib
eral visitor here this week.

1t has been figured out by G. s.
Dean, who is interested in the pro-
position, that Baca county pays $65,
100000 freight per year on coal alone,
and that in 20 years would amount to
$1,280,000.00. He also figures that
the freight on the coal consumed by
the county would pay the railroad
company $4,000 per mile, interest on
the bonds and leave balance Of
$3O8,000 in the twenty years.
However, Mr.. Dean neglected to
figure the taxes which would be re-
turned to the county in all these
twenty years, but he evidently con-
cluded that the proposition was good
enough, that further figures were
unnecessary.
1t is likely that determined effort
will be made to get this special leg.

sion and if this is accomplished Lib

ALLEGED Stacker ACQUITTED

Frank Rospaw, city, clerk of Mon
tezuma, and editor of the Monte
yuma Press, was acquitted by court
martial at Fort Leavenworth, last
Thursday, on charge of draft evas-
ion. The military jury, consisting of
nine officers, deliberated only ten
minutes. Several witnesses from
Hutchinson testified, among them
being members of the draft board
and the American Legion. Rospaw
proved his contention that he was
placed in class three on account of a
dependent mother, and that when
he was transferred and placed in
class one, and called for military
service, he never received the notice,
which was returned to 1.-THE draft
board. When he was called he was
at New Orleans, Louisiana, later 60
ing to New York, where he was en-
ployed as a newspaper reporter. The
change in the family name of Ros-
pach to Rospaw was made several
years ago, but when Rospaw regis
tered, he gave his original name,
Rospach. Raspaw was confined in
the disciplinary barracks for about
thirty days, and, although not yet
convicted, was given prisoners
garb and put on coal shoveling
gang.-Bucklin Banner.

"thump, thump, jthump," went the
noise.
do you suppose there is anything
loose on the house which is making
that noise?" asked Mr.. Woods.
They looked over the house again,
inside and out; everything seemed to
be alright, SO they again sat down
to read. "Thump, thump, thump,'
again vibrated through the house.

HUNTING SQUIRRELS in INDIANA

Nv hiNStHtNN
The following paper was read by R.
E. Graham, secretary of the Wayne
County unit of the American Sports
mems Protective league, before a re-
cent meeting of the Wayne County
Fish and Game Protective association:
An Aug. / the Nimrods of Indiana
are permitted by law to go into the
woods of our state and hunt the elu-
sive squirrel The writer feels that at
this time this important line of sport
should be given more consideration
from our sportsmen's organizations
along with fishing. as it is INDUCED in
to a great extent by the same lovers
of the great outdoor life.
From the time of the earliest pioneer
we find the squirrel was a highly
priced article of food, and that the old
hunter never ceased to love the sport
of squirrel hunting. Remember how
your old histories told of Daniel Boone
barking" the squirrel? This was done
by shooting with a rife into the limb
of the tree Immediately below the
squirrel, thereby killing the squirrel
by shock and leaving no bullet marks
on the game. Our present day hunters
might do we'll to try few of these
shots, then they would, no doubt, have
greater respect for the shooting ability
of our forefathers.
Recent analysis of Indian mounds
| in Ohio showed that squirrels ranked
! second only to the bones of the deer
showing that the squirrel was highly
| priced as an article of food.
Need More Protection
| 1t is to be regretted that the SPUR
/ rel is not given more protection thar
he is by the Indiana law. Our law now
| permits US to hunt squirrels from Aug
ust / to December l. Now our law:
| are aimed to protect our game espe
cially against the time when the fe
males are bearing their young. How
} many of you know that the squire
| has two filters of young, one in thu
/ early spring and one from about thu
! middle of July to the middle of Aug
ust? When you shoot a mother SPUR
rel in August you invariably leave
! motherless some four or five youn:
| squirrels.
Before the days of our presen. gam
| laws, the farmers hunted accordini
| to natural laws. Along about the frs
of June when corn planting had beel
| completed. the farmer was at leisur
for a few weeks until harvest time

Many of our hunters still feel tina
a natural law is better than mar
made law and are forced to violate tn
laws of the state to hunt accordingly.
There is a movement on foot to hav
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-08-01

our law changed at the next legisla-
ture, so that squirrel may be killed
from May Is to July and from Sep
TENDER l to December Is. This would
make the squirrel season as great in
length and at the same time bTovide
the protection which is so vital 10 the
survival of this important game The
bag should be limited to only six a
day.
Squirrel Mierates
Many people believe the squirrel
lives and dies in one locality. This
is not true. A squirrel migrates ac-
cording to the food supply. There
should be great numbers of squirrels in
this state this fall, as his favorite food,
the beechnut, is to be found in unusual
quantities.
One thing to be decried is the wan
ton destruction of our timber The
writer has seen numerous cases where
old snags of beech, elm or oak, that
would not even make decent firewood,
have been cut and left to rot in the
woods. These ole snags not only house
the squirrel, but the raccoon and sew.
eral species of birds, as we'll as furnish
! food for the same.

mems Protective league are the local
integers of the larger organizations
which are fostering the movement for
the better and more effective protection
of our natural treasures But the mem
bers of these organizations are not the
only ones who should feel, the respon
sibility of so great a task. Each citi
zen should do his best to cooperate
with these organizations by aiding
them in their program of protection
