Iowa Falls, Dec. 27.-Sportsmen in
this part of the state are aroused over
the proposed diversion of the hunters
license funds now in the hands of the
state and should an attempt be made to
turn over the funds raised the past
year by the hunters who have paid
the license under the new law, formal

ment among sportsmen that these
funds should be used for the purpose
originally intended, that of protecting
the fish and game in the state, with
the ultimate end in view of making a
game reserve of the state where Ii
censed hunters may find plenty of wild
game for legitimate hunting.
1t Is cited that other states have ac-

propagation of game and fish they are
asking nothing unreasonable. Should
state officials seek to divert the funds

rible sensation of being buried alive.
Mr.. Creagan was at work in sewer
ditch here and was in the bottom of
twenty-one foot excavation when the
dirt caved in on one side, completely
covering the workman. Help was quick
ly summoned and the dirt removed
from his face before he smothered. Two
men then set to work in the narrow
ditch to relieve the awful pressure on
the buried mans body.
Finally a rope was placed under his
arms and he was pulled from the loos-
ened dirt that enveloped him. AS he
was taken from the ditch, he collapsed
Physicians were summoned and an
examination proved that, While no
bones were broken, his body had been
badly bruised by the squeezing from
the pressure of the dirt about him.
