k (INCH GAME LAW VIOLATORS Quartet of Holt Oounty Hunters Pay $136 for Their Sport. TRIAL OF THE CASE PROVES EXCITING Becretary Marsh, on Strensgth of Opin- fon by Attorney Genm Decides (From a faft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, * July 28.—(Special.)—Chlet Game Warden Simpkins and Deputy George Carter successfully raided a crowd of il- lelt hunters {n Holt county Monday after- noon. The capture Included John P. Sulll- van, Jerry Sullivan, Mike Sullivan and Patrick Bullivan and In their posssssion were found seventeen prairie chickens. The men were convicted and fined $5 for each bird and the costs of the prosecution, the aggregate penalty being $135. The arrest and trial of these men cre- ed a sensation in O'Neill, the county t, and throughout the country. M. F. Harrington was employed to defend them and in the trial put up the plea that mere possession of the prairie chickens outside of the open n. was not in itself an of- fense for which a penalty could be imposed, insisting that evidence that the men sctually shot them was necessary for a conviction. The Sullivans were unanimous in declar- ing themselves not gullty and each de- manded a trial by jury. Twelve men were sunmoned and, against their own remon- strance, were ordered by Judge Morgan to #it In the case. From far and near came bunters and others and when the hearing was begun the courtroom was packed to its capacity. Case Looked Hopele “It seemed Illke a hopeless case, for everybody apparently was on the side of the accused,” sald Mr. Simpkins, describ- ing the sensational trial. “The county at- torney assisted in the prosecution and probably did more than anybody else to bring the conviction. In summing up the case he sald: ‘Gentlemen of the jury, the four boys here, all highly respected citi- gens of the community, are on trial for the violation of a law. They are friends of mine and I am loth to prosecute them, but when I took the oath of my office I pledgcd myselt to support the constitution and enforce the laws. That is what I am dolng. I am living up to that oath. Now 1t 18 up to you as business men of this city to live up to the oath you have taken to truly try the issues of this case.’ That one remark seemed to cinch the whole case. ““Well, the jury retired and was out six hours. On the first ballot the vote was ten for acquittal, one for conviction and one not voting. On the second ballot, taken two hours later, ten were for conviction. The third ballot was unanimous, but then there was disagreement to the fine. The jury wanted to have the fine fixed for only one or two birds. The judge was called fn and he told them it was either gullty or not gullty and it the former, $5 for each bird. Then we got the verdict.” Mr. Simpkins says he has numerous re- ports of {llicit shooting in Holt county, but has been unable thus far to secure a conviction. His sccret service bas not penetrated the district and the only way he could catch the shooters was to do it himself. The men in this particular sec- tion of the state who_ have been violating the law seemed to have banded together for mutual protection. Linceln Bank Sta . The .

IGNORE CGOVERNOR'S VETO Amendment to Oonstitution Will Be Sub- mitted to Vete of People. DONE ON ADVICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL Proposed Amendment Makes Majority Vote on Proposition All that ia Required to Adopt Other Amendmen LINCOLN, July 23.-—(Special Tele- gram.)—In the face of the veto of ex-Gov- ernor Dietrich to the constitutional amend- ment Secretary of State Marsh has decided to submit the measure to a vote of the Ne- braska electors next November. This move is taken on the advice of Attorney General Prout, who declares that the governor has no right to reject or affirm the bill, or al least such preference bears no weight on the matter. He holds that the initiative is taken by the legislature and the electors then approve or disapprove the measure. The scope of the proposed amendment is to change the majority neceseary to carry a constitutional amendment from the ma- Jority of all votes cast to a majority of the votes cast on the proposition in question. In his veto message Governor Dietrich stated that his reason for rejecting the measure was that the expense of submit- ting the bill would be about $50,000, but Secretary Marsh estimates the cost will not exceed $7,560.

While the state has created both pure food laws ard commiseion, still the evil continues and many people are daily suffering fearful consequences.

The word stands for PERFECT FOOD, and the food is worthy of the name, for it stands ot the head of its class, having 99 per cent of nutriment. Per-fo is made from nine different cereals, vegetables and nuts, all of which are milled into the flnest flour form, containing none of the bran, hulls and other waste matter found in most cereal products.
