CHANGE IN APPLICATION.
Deer-Huntng Applications and Licenses
Must Be Stamped.

Deer-Hunting Applications and Licenses
Must Be Stamped.
Persons who contemplate taking out
deer-hunting licenses should remember
that there has been a change in the form
of application since last year.
The principal change consists in the
fact that the applicant must have the
clerk Of the town or city in which he
resides certify that he is bona fde res
ident of said town or city. This change
has been deemed necessary for the rea-
son that many frauds were perpetrated
last year by non-residents claiming that
they were residents and thus procuring
licenses by the payment of $1.00 when
they should have paid $4,000.
Another change is that the application
and licenses must each have ten-cent
revenue stamp. Both these stamps
must be paid for by the applicant, and
so the total cost of the license to resi-
dents of the state will be S120 instead
Of $1.00 as heretofore.
The county clerk will furnish blank
applications, and after properly filling
out and placing revenue stamp upor
the same, the applicant must also remit
Sl.O0 and a ten-cent revenue stamp, OF
81 10 in cash to him. In the event ot
the applicant being unable to procure 6
ten-cent stamp to place upon the appli
cation, $1.20 may be remitted and the
county clerk will place stamps on both
application and license

law to prosecute"
The other case has a bearing on the question OK
