GAME LAWS ENFORCED.
State Wardens Have Arrested 342
Persons During the Past
Year.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 4.-[Special i
During the past year BIZ persons have
been arrested in Wisconsin for violations
of the game laws and there were $50
seizures of nets, spears, etc. The fines
collected amounted to $500, and convic-
tons were secured in all but twentyone
cases. These and other facts are shown
in the report of State Fish and Game
Warden Ellarson, just submitted to Coy.
In 1900, 32,0ST hunting licenses We're
issued, of which 231 We're to nonresi-
dents, and he license fees received ag-
gregrated S32,316, q decrease of about
$500 from the previous year.
More deer were killed last year than in
1899, the number shipped in 1900 being
former 1104 were killed by ronresidents.
The report calls. attention to the loss OF
life during the deer season. Twelve per-
sons were reported killed and a large
number more or less injured last year
and the report says some means should
be devised to lessen the danger.
The value of the work of the depart
ment, the warden says, is by no means
represented by the number of arrests
made and convictions secured. the real
work being to prevent violations rather
than the punishment of someone for vi
Olations. The extension of the license
system has made the department self
supporting and the extension of the spe
cial warden system has resulted in a
more general and better enforcement OF
the law than was ever before possible.
Mr. Ellarson expresses the hope that
the movement on foot 60 secure the re-
peal of the law prohibiting spring shoot
ing Will fail and says It is only mat
ter of time when other states must fol-
low the lead Of Wisconsin in the matter.
