PROTECTION TO FISH.

Foreman John W Crum's grand jury

Judge George W Gage, takes up the i'm

ton in this county in the following para

fish laws of the State are almost If not
entirely disregarded. The wholesale de-
structiSn of the fish as they run up the
streams to spawn and increase, by wire
trars. nets, seins and dynamite, if not
stopped, will result in the final eXtermi-
nation of the valuable fish in our waters.
We recommend, therefore, that your
Honor charge those whose duty 1t IS to
strict enforcement of the law.
