Fishermen have been feeling some
what relieved upon learning that the
omission of the penalty clause in the
new game and fish laws referring to
the catching of bass and trout had
tendency to invalidate the act. A re-
cent decision of Attorney General
Douglas, however, puts q new phase
upon it. He says that while there is
no provision in the new game and fish
laws to prevent the catching of bass
and trout, owing to the omission of
the penalty clause, violators are
liable to conviction by a section of the
general laws governing the catching
of fish. He holds that the penalties
in the general laws may be imposed
in lieu of the penalties omitted from
the new bill pertaining to bass and
trout. It is reported that Kandiyohi
county fishermen have been enjoying
the sport immensely, and that black
bass would bite in spite of their ef-
forts to prevent them. The legal sea-
