Fined $105 for Killing Prairie Chickens North Platte, Neb., Aug. 16.—(Spe- cial.)—Out of the frying pan into the fire. When William Otten, George Voseipka and Charles Beeder ap- peared before County Judge French on a charge of having twenty-one prairie chickens, shot out of seascn in their possession, the men denied shooting but one chicken. From the witness stand they stated, however, that they had flushed two flocks of chickens ' containing about forty birds. Whereupon Judge French turned to another section of the game aws, which provides a fine of $5 for each prairie chicken “pursued” out of season., The defendants squirmed uneasily, for they ncw saw prospects of a $200 fine instead of one for $105. Judge French again brought the de- fendants back into the frying pan, however, by finding that they had shot the chickens and fining them $105 and costs, fine and costs to be split by the trio.
