Evidence That Ducks Are
Melted Is Discovered

SAN RAFAEL. Dec. THE local
game authorities are investigating the
report that ducks are being netted in
the San Pablo and San Quentin bays.
Although no direct infringement of the
law has been detected thus far, suspi-
cion has been aroused by the fact that
many ducks sold here showed no evil
dence of having been shot
This is especially true OF the canvas
back, and as that species is known to
be a great diver the authorities be-
lieve they have sufficient evidence TO
warrant a determined search for the
supposed offenders
They believe that nets are laid out on
the mud flats and that the ducks drift
up to them on the Incoming tide and
are either caught under them or en-
tangled in the meshes on top. String
marks on the legs and wings of the
canvasbacks indicate to the authorities
the struggles of the ducks when caught
in the meshes while diving.
