BAYoUs CANNOT BE sEINED.
Attorney Generals opinion Relative
to n disputed Ouention.


OF late considerable SEEMING has been
done in bayous adjacent to the running
streams of this county, some of the
violators of the law claiming they had a
right to take fish in that manner be-
cause the bayous at low stages Of the
water have no inlet or outlet. The Mar
shutdown Fish Protective Association
recently took the question up and asked
one OF the deputy game wardens to se-
cure the opilion of the states attorney
general relative to the rights of land
owners to give permission and of people
to seine such bodies of water Attorney
General G. w. Mullan replied as fol-
lows to the request for an opinion:
Des Moines, Ia, June s, 1901.-Dear
Sid: In reply to your favor of recent
date, Will say that no one has right
TO seine fish in bayou that has nat
ural inlet or outlet and becomes stocked
With fish from other waters, and the
person SO doing makes himself liable,
under the law for the protection Of fish
and game. Very truly yours.
CHARLES w. MIILLAN."
AS there is but one land-locked body
OF water liz Marshalltown that has not
natural inlet or outlet and does not be-
come stocked with fish from other wa
ters, and that is the lake in Riverside
cemetery, 1t is therefore unlawful to
seine any place in the county with that
one exception and for minnows for
bait.
The committee from the Marshalltown
Fish Protective Association and several
of the deputy game wardens ON satur-
day afternoon transferred from the
shallow ponds and mud holes several
thousand small croppies and other fish
to the river and Asher creek thus pre-
venting their destruction by the dyring
up of the ponds when the rainy sea
son is over 1t is probable the small
game fish which find their way from the
river into the ponds in Jones park Will
be transferred to the river.
