land with instructions to capture and
kill all unlicensed CANNES. He has been
instructed by the council to take every
thing in sight and already has many on
his list. Four were disposed of on Sat
urday. Those who think that they can
evade the ordinance may as well submit
at once, as they are not only running
chances OF having their dogs shot, but
are laying themselves liable to arrest for

The new state game law has been
most woefully mixed up by some one in

duck, geese, brant or native aquatic
fowl, covered by this law during the
summer, from April IS to Sept. LIST, after
which time the law goes into force, and
no more can be killed. The blunder was
made in engrossiug the bill.
