Mississippi paper.
The fox, coon, squirrel and deer hunt
ers in Mississippi are much stirred up
by bill introduced intotke Legislature
some days ago, to punish trespassers up
on real estate. Its main provision is
that no man shall hunt with dogs OF
gun, or set traps for game on the lands
of another man without first procuring
consent of the owner. A violation oi
the law subjects the party to q fine OF
imprisonment, or both. The bill passed
the House is limited, however, to GER
tain counties asking for it. The Bran
don Republican of the 14th warns the fox
hunters to beware where they per-
nit their dogs TO run. II they
cross the boundaries of the
quarter section Of their owners, they
must be called off till the owner of the
next quarter section can be hunted mp
and his permit be granted to hunt on
his land. Deer hunters cannot pursue
the wounded buck on to their neigh
bor's land totake possession Of the game
without getting his written consent.
The bill ought to be entitled "A bill to
prevent sporting with horse, dog or gun
outside of ones own potato patch" The
Republican says: "This law is going to
stir up more ill-feelings and spiteful
litigation than any law ever placed on
our statute books"
