in uphoIdlng the DeRossitt game law
which was passed by the last legisla-
ture. The bill, which is very strin-
gent, provides. among other things,
that it shall hereafter be unlawful for
nonresidents of the state to hunt, fish
or trap within this state at any sea
sen ef 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 with
in the state but make their homes
elsewhere. They claim the right to
nunt and fish on their own land and
a test case has been made in the Crit
tenden county circuit court. Sports
men from Memphis who own land in
Arkansas are fighting the law, and
nave employed eminent counsel to
break 1t down, if possible. The sports
men of Arkansas wish to see the law
enforced, and in their recent associa-

OF last resort if necessary, and to
leave no means untried to have the
