Connell Will Be Petitioned To Furnish Crow Bounty Funds.

A petition was circulated by W. E. Jacks and Warren Sage late Saturday afternoon asking the county council, which is to meet in special session Wednesday of this week, to provide money to carry out the provisions of the crow bounty law passed by the last legislature. The petition was not started until about S o’clock but about fifty names were procured in a half hour’s time. It seems that practically every farmer is in favor of having the bounty law put into practice. From every hand comes reports of the depredations of crows, and it has been reported that turkey raising in some sections has almost been ruined by the crows. It is probable that the couity council will harken to the wishes of the petitioners.
