For man who is thrcatenr' 60 with
the loss of bis jot. 4, State Executive
Agent Fpllerton, of the state game and
hsh commisstpn, is, PER- APPS the most
hcnc' a'ant man in the state. Senator
Miller, of Rock county. recently intro
duccd bill which aims to abolish the
game anG fish commission. He says he
introduced it merely, because it was
asked, and he has no interest in it, for
it has been. many long years since the
festive hound rode across the precincts
of Rock county, and the inland lakes
O. the county are none Of them any
greater than a few miles square.
But the reason that Fullerton Is
happy Is not because his job is in dan
ger, but because he is having all kinds
Of fun while he remains in office. Even
If he had not been assured that the
Miller bill was practically guaranteed
hasty death when it's father dis
owned it, the fact that the federal au-
thOrities have seized 60, 900 pounds Of
fish at Red lake, belonging to Mime,
apolis fish company, as narrated in q
dispatch from Washington yesterday
morning, would tend to establish a
fact that the owner Of the confiscated
fish is the zreputed author and hacker
Of the Miller bill.
This supposed author is Mr.. LIE Clair,
of the Baltimore Packing company Of
Minneapolis, and he was at the capitol
yesterday. He met Fullerton in the
governors office, and for a time, 1t Is
said, the air was bluer than it was the
lest time Gov. Clough granted a hear
ing to deputation from the State
Pharmaceutical association. The game
agent and the fish man told each othet
lot of things which, if printed, would
be lacking in interest to the readers OF
the G g b e. generally by reason Of
their personal significance but suffice
it to say that after the thing was all
over no blood was shed, but LIE Clair
had informed Fullerton that the
scheme of the Miller bill was to give
Fullerton the, So, 400 job named in the
bill, and Fullerton had told LIE Clair
that the explanation was almost as
fishy as 1.-The original bill, but that in
the absence of any facts or pistols the
explanation would be accepted in lieu
of the ( satisfaction one gentleman
| might demand of another under the
