Hunting Season Opens Nov. 15. Quail Scarce But Rabbits Are
Plentiful - Limit
to "Bag." When the quail and rabbit hunting
season opens on Saturday,
November 15th, nimrods not only of Pulaski county, but of the
entire state
will take to the fields with gun and dog. Reports from the
county indicate
that while quail for some unaccountable reason are scarce,
rabbits are
unusually plentiful. In many portions of the State
quail are reported to
have increased in numbers because of the open winter last year
and the fact
that the car took men from their hunting. The season is
already open on
ducks and jack snipe, having opened on September 16. It
will continue to
December 31, except is the case of the squirrel season, which
opened July 1
and will close December 16. The season is closed on
doves. While there is
no limit to the rabbit "bag," no more than twelve quail
may be brought down
at one shooting. Twenty-five is the bag limit on ducks and
jack snipes.
There is no bag limit on rabbits.
Woman With Long Record of Crimes Caught in Kansas. (By
Associated Press)
Oklahoma City, July 15. - One of the most troublesome problems
United States
marshals and sheriffs of the southwest have had to contend with
in recent
years promises to be indefinitely postponed through the arrest
recently at
Muskogee or Maybelle Fanning, or as she is perhaps better known
"Peggy
Willard." Police and Bertillion records give her
aliases as follows: Lena
Jackson, Dorothy West, Mrs. R.L. Green, Mrs. Bronson, and Mrs.
Donnelly.
Peggy's open boast has been that the law would never be able to
keep her
behind iron bars, and thus far it hasn't. Peggy
incidentally, has confessed
to attempted murder, petty and grand larceny, diamond thieving,
boot-legging
and white slavery. James Findlay, of the United States
bureau of
investigation, avers the young woman has developed her
"profession" to the
highest degree. Police of various Texas cities insist, in
written
communications to Muskogee, that she paid a Texas lawyer $500 a
week to
insure bond and freedom. Peggy was first convicted of
felony May 25, 1912.
Police assert her "haul" of diamonds, her favorite
plunder, amounted to
$100,000 on that occasion. She was paroled August 6, 1912,
but later was
apprehended on old indictments and sent back to the state
prison. April 19,
1913, she was sentenced to three years more, charged with
assaulting with
attempt to kill Lee Simonds, a Texas sheriff. She obtained
her freedom by
promising to testify against an alleged accomplice in this
case. Her pardon
was granted but she refused to testify after being
released. She was tried
on the white slavery charge in Oklahoma City in May, 1917.
Shortly after
arriving at McAlester state penitentiary she made an appeal bond
and obtained
freedom again. She remained at liberty until a few weeks
ago when she was
incarcerated at Muskogee on a charge of stealing automobile tires
at Vinita.
Through a jail employee's error she escaped again. June 29,
Inspector
Findlay received a message from Coffeyville, Kansas, informing
him that
Maybelle Fanning and her six aliases had been arrested. She
is awaiting
trial on the auto tire charge at Muskogee. Peggy Willard is
about 28 years
old. She is well educated and has been credited with being
pretty enough to
be attractive.
Notes and Comments.
What has become of the fall of Petrograd?
Some men who think they are out for statesmen are in the wrong
pew.
The hunting season opens and the Aninias club shows steady
growth.
The Japanese are reported to be critical over the peace
terms. Is there
anybody that isn't?
D'Annucio's army has been reported as shooting up each
other. Who's worrying
over that?
One cause for the high price of everything is the fact that the
world is
playing hookey.
A Maine jury has convicted a public speaker of blasphemy.
It is the first
conviction in modern times.
Real Americans who want a job can find one when they learn that
ten million
Americans of the age of ten years and over cannot read or write.
Forty thousand people are reported starved to death in
Petrograd. We thought
they were fed up on Bolshevism.
It's getting worse. A Pasadena preacher wrote a novel
during the summer and
last Sunday he read it to his congregation in place of a sermon.
France has declared herself dependent upon our coal supply this
winter. Just
when we had a strike on our hands too.
A Maryland bell-hop recently bought an automobile on tips.
Prior to this he
bought a home, a cheaper car and some stock.
One of the first martyrs to prohibition is a citizen of New
Britain, Conn.,
who mashed off a finger while working a wine press.
Some Austrian is arguing that the United States went to war to
save England.
We might have gone to war for a worse cause?
You'd better be careful! The second prohibition martyr,,
and the third, died
in Camden, J.J., after drinking a bottle of home made alcoholic
liquor last
week.
The Italians at Fiume hissed the American flag, but so far as we
know there
is no thought of asking the irresponsible to apologize.
It has been proposed that Constantinople be internationalized and
made the
capital of the League of Nations. We endorse the
proposal. It is the
linking doorway between the East and the West.
A forced gift of two dollars to a tramp nine years ago now
results in a
bequest of $65,000 to Sarah Lindley, of Osage, Ind., so the
papers say. What
has become of the poor old transp we used to feed?
A girl worker in a New York factory recently won $10,000 offered
as a prize
by a newspaper for the most beautiful woman in the city.
How would you like
to be a girl worker in a factory and win $10,000?
A missionary reports the most sensible Moslem sheik we have read
of. He
offers to swap the four wives that he has, under the Koran, for
one American
wife.
Marshall Foch has reported the discovery of 40,000 Belgian
freight cars in
Germany, and Belgium has sent experts to identify them.
Youngstown, Ohio, has ordered the city's attorney to prepare an
