Fish and Game
Laws Are In
Season

Andy Fesler, f. NJ. Richard, Frank
Rathborn and Sheriff Butler went
fishing Sunday in the pools in Step
toe valley and were remarkably
fortunate. Fro ma reliable source,
the News is informed they caught six
beautiful trout Now this isn't bad
work for one days fishing when one
considers the fact that the four fish
ermen had no outside assistance and
the pools were full of fish. The num-
Der of fish caught by Andy is no ones
business and it is unnecessary TO say
he didn't show the result of his days
fishing to any of his friends When
the fishermen returned Sunday even
ing. they thought it would be a good
idea to read the new laws relating 10
hunting and fishing in Nevada That
reading cost them SIC apiece. for
they found they had broken the law,
and SO they marched up 10 Judge
Cartwright, told him what they had
done. pleaded guilty and We're fined
$40 each. which they paid. As all Of
them are members of the gun club
and believe in furnishing anyone who
breaks the hunting and fishing law,
they thought the proper thing To do
was to pay a fine and in the future
look out for those VINO commit the
same offense and prosecute them Il
is reported that six deputy game
wardens have been appointed from
the members OF the gun club.

breaking the hunting and fishing laws
