GAME LAW VIOLATORS ARE UNDER ARREST

Harrison Armstrong and “Bunk” Zook Arrested for Killing Prairie Chickens. Deputy Sheriff Gus Grant this Wednesday morning placed Harrison Armstrong and Clarence Zook, the latter known by the nickname of “Bunk,” under arrest on the charge of killing prairie chickens, while an additional charge of trespass is lodged against Armstrong. Affidavits were made against these young men about a month ago by Maurice foreman on one of J. J. Lawler’s ranches. They could not be found by Constable Parks, who had the affidavits, but today showed up in Rensselaer, where Armstrong was to have his deposition taken in his suit against the C. & W. V. railroad. Deputy Gus Grant saw them and served the warrants. The men were taken before Squire Irwin, who admitted them to bail in the sum of SIOO for each case. Armstrong’s father, Charles Armstrong, went on his bond, while young Zook went to jail. It is alleged that Armstrong and Zook have been killing and shipping wild game for a long time, with Kersey as a shipping point.
