Want Game Law Enforced.

The Arkansas State Sportsmen's
Association has entered the field to
aid in upholding the DeRossitt game
law which was passed by the last
legislature. The bill. which is very
stringent, provides, among other
things, that it shall hereafter be un-
lawful for non-residents of the state
to hunt. fish or trap within this state
at any season of the year
This feature of the law has aroused
bitter antagonism among certain par
ties who live outside the state but
who make trips within the state for
the purpose of hunting and fishing
Some of these people own lands
within the state but make their
homes elsewhere They claim the
right to hunt and fish on their own
land and test case has been made
in the Crittenden county circuit
court. Sportsmen from Memphis
who own land in Arkansas are fight
ing the law, and have employed EN-.
inent counsel to break it down, IL
possible. The sportsmen of Arkansas
wish to see the law enforced, and in
their recent association meet, held at
Jonesboro. it was decided to carry
the case to the court Of last resort II
necessary, and to leave no means un.
tried to have the law enforced.
