Defect In the Game Law.

A serious oversight has just been dis
covered in the new state game law,
which is part of the political code
which goes into effect July /. The ue-
feet consists in prescribing the first
Tuesday in April after his appointment
as the date the state game warden tan
office created by this act shall assume
office. Under this provision there can
be no game warden until next April.
1t is thought perhaps Commissioner of
Forestry and Irrigation Barrett; who is
also exotficio game and fish commission
ner, may have authority under the old
law to appoint wardens, but he cannot
issue permits.

Assets of u Dcfund Bank.

The Barnes County Bank, which
failed number of years ago an account
of bad management and left creditors
some $4,000 in the hole, has never had
a final winding up of it's affairs. About
$4,000 have been saved from the wreck,
and several attachment suits are now
pending settlement in court whereby it
is hoped the amount can be somewhat
increased by the sale of bank property
and a dividend of from Is to go per cent
declared. The failure was one of the
rottenest bank deals ever known in the
state, and the creditors have as yet re-
ceived nothing.

come home to redeem themselves and
started the bnll rolling by defeating
tho team from the Magic City.
While the game was not as good as
some we have seen, there we're several
brilliant plays made by both teams. In
koanoke's second Inning, with the
bases iull and one man out, Thurston
made rafting double play by taking
| hot liner from Padden's bat aud
touching the runner from second, thus
retiring the side and ending n terrible
suspense. Fuller also performed n
like trick III the ninth inning. Hall

and while he lacked his usual speed,
pitched very good game, Dunn
started to pitch for Roanoke and did
very well up to the fourth, when he
lost control Of the bali aud sent five
men to bases on balls. Heswas relieved
by Fisher, who Was touched up pretty

The entire Roanoke team put up an
excellent fielding game, having only
one insignificant error charged to them.
