Attorney General Haskell has decided
that the game law passed by the last
legislature is illegal, and that the law
now in effect is that which was enacted
in 1893. That law was to the effect that
no elk, moose or buffalo covld be hunted
until 1899. The other allowed them to
be hunted September 18th to December
18th. Such being the case, all hunters
in the future will get themselves into
! trouble if they kill any OF the above
mentioned animals. .-Livingston Enter
