General Account
An interesting thing has developed
in our town of Potterville. One
of the prominent sportsmen
Mr. Liggett has offered a
reward for all all hawks
and owls that were submitted
to him. He offered 25ยข for
Sparrow Hawks, $1.00 for Chicken
Hawks, $2.50 for Blue Darters etc.
(See Clipping.) This man Mr. Liggett
is interested in saving the
Quail for the hunters and
insists that the hawks, all
hawks, are responsible for
the destruction of a large
number of Quail which are
the rightful property of
the sportsman.
Two of the Red Tailed
Hawks and one Barn Owl
were brought to me yesterday
by Bill Battles who had
obtained them from Mr.
Liggett. For these hawks
he had paid $9.00. I examined
the stomach and crop contents
of the birds and the following
is the result.
4 empty
5 contained some animal matter as follows.
2 Ground Squirrel
1 Junco
