Show SPARROW EGGS The New Law Is Causing Clerk Stanton S Stan-ton Much Trouble The new law which was passed by the last legislature providing for the payment of a bounty on sparrow eggs is causing the county clerk much annoyance an-noyance these days The general impression im-pression prevails that the Jcw went into effect on the 5th of this month and that all a person has to do is to bring the eggs or scalps to the clerks office and receive his pay This is all wrong The law provides that the county court shall upon the petition of at least fifty resident taxpayers tax-payers pass an ordinance fixing a I bounty on eggs and scalps So far no petition has been presented to the board of county commissioners and hence no bounty can be paid I is not likely that the board will take any action for several weeks yet and un acton til then no bounty can be paid All day yesterday the county clerks office was beseiged with boys girls and some old people too all carrying tin pails or baskets filled with sparrow spar-row eggs They were all disappointed however for one of the clerks was kept busy telling the bounty hunters that the law was not in operation yet |
