s. NJ. Scott of 499 Market street was out
hunting reppurlV af SuiSuD and WhPD mr.
suing a wounded wdgeon accidentally tun-
bed into a small but deep slough, which
Was sheltered from view by long weeds and
marsh grass. The hunter fortunately wore
pair OF gum boots the tops OF which fitted
him snugly about the thighs. Scott says
that If lie bad worn the old style Of hunt
ing boot he certainly would have had a close
call, as he was weighted down with car
tFidges and game and could not have eX-
tricated himself.
Duck shooting is now In its prime, and
local nimrods are taking advantage Of the
splendid sport to be had on the salt mars hes
north of the city.
A sportsman, who had a three days
" ducking on the Alameda Gun Clubs pre-
serve on the Sonoma marsh, remarked yester-
day TO q few friends that he had never seen
half as many birds on the marshes as
there are on the preserved grounds. The
only drawback to the sport, he said, was
the sharp cold winds, which forced tears
from his eyes while shooting at early morn
ing a man named Walsh brought bag
of $50 birds from Point Reyes a few days
ago. He shot the quackers at "a place called
the Lagoon, which is about four miles north
of the point.
The Fish and Game Commissioners have
been very anxious TO test the law relating
TO the possession OF deer killed outside of
the State. A splendid opportunity was af-
furGed them few days ago to arrest
butte er who had an enormous buck outside
of his place of business on Market street.
Although the carcass was viewed and ad-
mred by hundreds Of people who re-
marked that it was strange that
the law should be transgressed in such an
open manner, q Deputy Commissioner, who
vas dispatched to tie stall with instruc-
tons to seize the carcass, returned to head
quarters and reported that he could not see
ANY signs" of deer. The fact of the mat
ter is that the Commissioners have no de-
sire to test the law so far as it concerns the
having Of deer in possession which has
been killed outside of this State. Only
few months ago a Los Angeles judge de-
cided that il is not unlawful to have in
possession game which Lad been killed out
side of this Stale. However that may be
the Commissioners could make matters very
interesting for any person found with pre-
served" game In possession, and if test
case was made In this city it is quite likely
that the decision of the southern county
Judge would meet with reversal.
