OKLAHOMA QIJUL SHIPPED OUT
ILLEGALLY.
S«ch Is Claim By Hunted In a * on-
troTenif In the American Field.
According to correspondence of Tho
American Field, the sportsman's news-
paper of America, published in Chicago*
Oklahoma quail are being shipped out
of the stute illegally by state game
warden, John Chenoweth. The ques-
tion was brought dnto serious dis-
closures by P. P. Kelly, of this city,
an ardent, but honest sportsman, in
a aeries of articles. Mr. Kelly con-
siders it an outrage tiiat any depletion
of quail in Oklahoma should he oifldal-
ly prosecuted, when they are already
on a decline. It seems that there
was a theory at one time that Okla-
homa quail might be exchanged for
New Jersey pheasants, but it was
found that the preasaut.s could not
propagate in Oklahoma, as there was
not enough "cover" for toheni and.
tiiey were too readily killed by other
animals. Mr. Kelly states that Ok-
lahoma quail bring $1.60 a pair, alive,
and 2,500 of them is quite an Uejm
in dollars alone.
The following correspondence of
June 10th, in tho American Field
speaks for itself*
Xo Large Number of Quail Shipped
from Oklahoma.
Guthrie, Okla.,—1 see in tiie Ameri-
can Field, under head of "notes," that!
H. G. D. of Pitman. N. J. states that
there has been shipped from Oklaho-
ma ti) New Jersey 2,500 quail. If this
is so, it is nothing short of an out-
rage. If thie is the way our game
warden is going to get rid of tour quail,
it is time that the sportsmen start to
let him out. Why was this done?
The state certainly does not need the
money, as we sportsimen have already
contributed to build the capltol one
hundred and one thousand dollars. It
seems as if we have done our share.
I wtould like to ask our very efficient
game warden, if he is sportsman
enough to be a subscriber to the
American Field and reads this article
why 2.500 quail were sent to New
Jersey, while In our northern counties
these birds are almost extinct. In a
day's drive through Kay, Noble, Grant,
and several other counties you will
not see a pair of quail, and still we
are supposed to stock New Jersey,
if this W£B done, It was a steal on vie
sportsmen of Oklahoma. During the
laat session of tho Legislature they
nearly closed the season on quail for
five years and compromised on a -thir
ty-day open season, claiming that in
five years, if the present open season
was continued, there w'ould not be any
quail, and yet our game warden sees
fit to stock New Jersey and let the
sportsmen of our northern counties
go without quail shooting.
Fellow sportsmen, do not let us
stand idly by and let things of this
kind happen again. 1-iet us voice our
sentiments t Hough our ballot; let the
people know that they must take the
game warden's office out of politics
by dumping the whole bunch. If we
stick together we can do it and get a
game warden that will let New Jersey
look after itself, and if there are 2,500
too many birds in lone locality, ship
them to the northern part of the state
and give those fellows that are just
as loyal sportsmen as we are some
quail shooting. F. P. KELLEY.
On receipt of the above comiuonica-
tlon the American Field wrote to John,
A. Chenoweth, Oklahoma's state game
and fish warden, and asked if 2,600
quails had been shipped to New Jersey
from tihat state, and his reply was as
follows:
"Oklahoma City, Okla.—I have your
valued favor lof May 23, asking if the
information you have received with
reference to shipping quail from Ok-
lahoma to New Jersey is correct.
"For your information I will state
that several of tiie farmers of Okla-
homa exchanged with tiie New Jersey
