Another legislative blunder has come
to light. Some Of the attorneys and

ssThe alleGed blunder came mp
thro0eh the SECULAR sesnion OF the legja.
lafure .epdoavoring 10 modify and
annend the same laws Of the state. In
10o7 the legislature passed m oct for
I'D pfotection Of imported game, .
uert of which-that pertaining to the
rame above mentioned Il embraced In
cotton 1859 Of Ballinger's Code. In
1899 the legislature amended and re-
nealed this law by passing another to
NC it, Mace, thus eliminating the law
81 1871. The legislature Of 1901 again
took the matter up and passed . law
amending the law Of 1897 which did
rot exiet. Then the law Of 1893, which
vas the only law In existence, was -.
nealed. This leaves the game referred
70 without any protection"
