Bismarck, Jan. 3O.-The matter Of
the fees of the state game warden
came up in the senate in the shape OF
q motion by MI. La .Moure that the
state warden file a report showing the
number of persons who had paid Ii.
censes in the state in the past year
There has been no definite knowledge
of the amount Of fees that have been
collected by the warden. The law di.
vides the fees between the state ward
en- and his deputies; and as in some
counties the aggregate receipts for IL
celsses haze aggregated $1,000, it is
the general selief that the fees of the

enacted looking to the turning of q
portion of the fees over to the state
and the reduction of the perquisites of
the game warden. Senator McCarten
introduced a bill to this end, giving the
state half of all moneys collected, with
the exception of a fee of 25 cents to
the county auditor for each license,
the other half to go to thewardens. A
joint committee of the two houses will
be appointed to consider the several
