One Man Has Furnished List Of Elf
teen Whom He Says Are Using
seines Without
License.
MISSOURI WARDENs LAX
State Is Liable by Authority That the
Men He Names Are Violating
Law Below Missouri
Line.

Several sportsmen In and about the
city are complaining bitterly that the
fish and game laws are not being en-
forced The claim is denied by auth
critics.
One man by the name Of Hammond
has furnished a list of names Of fif-
teen men whom he says are fishing
with seines without having procured
a license. The license which permits
the use of seine UP to five hundred
feet in length costs ten dollars. In
denial it is explained that these men
are fishing below the Iowa line and
that blame for the laxity In enforcing
the laws in this regard should fall
upon the heads of the Missouri game
wardens.
If the fifteen men are guilty and
could be convicted of such offense I'M
der the Iowa game laws they could
be fined total of $500. AS it is
the state is losing $3.50 In license
money and other men are encouraged
to attempt to evade the law. Thomas
Gee is the only offender to be brought
up for violation of the seine law this
fall and he was fined $50 by Justice
Leindecker few days ago and the
fine remanded to five dollars and
costs for this first offense.
Breaking Game Laws.
Reports have reached authorities
that the game laws are also being
flagrantly violated Hunting without
license and shooting game forbidden
by the law at this time of the year
are the chief offenses.
The law provides that every hunter
must buy a license which costs one
dollar and the trimmings" bring the
cost to s125. Two hundred and fifty
nine licenses have been issued thus
far this year by the deputy county
auditor, which is two more than al
the same. time last. year.
Now is the open season for grouse
prairie chickens. woodcock, wild duck
and other water birds. Squirrels may
be shot between September 1st and
January list and the open season for
quail will be from November LIST un.
til December 18th.

RAISING PARTRlDeEs.

The state game hatchery at Wilbra
ham is making 40 experiment in part
ridge propagau uon that will be watched
with interest by sportsmen all over
the state. ana II IL proves successful II
will demonstrate something that has
long been hoped for but never real
ized
The state hatchery has proved that
pheasants can be raised and bred ~

shy and timid ways, has been an un-
certain problem, all these years. At
last the state hatchery has succeed
ed i'm Matching fourteen partridges, all
Of which are living and arc doing hnc
and bid fair to reach maturity in cap
tivity.
The method under which me state
became possessed of these birds has
local favor, for they were hatched from
Great harrington eggs. Game Warden
Sarsood on one Of his hikes over Bear
town mountain into Great Harrington
territcfy came unexpectedly upon a
Ipartridpe's nest in which there were
fourteen eggs upon which the mother
bird had sat for ten Gays or so. SaT-
good gathered up the eggs. wrapped
each one i'm cotton batting and some
ether protection. and carried them to
the state hatchery.
The eggs had been six hours away
from the ncst when he reached the
hatchery, but fortunately bantam hen
| had been setting on clutch of pleas
ants eggs just about ten days, so they
transferre this bantam 10 the partridge
eggs and she Matched every one of
them. Now the hatchery people Will
| do their best TO so domesticatc these
| young partridges that when they
| reach maturity and arrive at the lay 70
ng stage their eggs may be hatched
| IN captivity and the nock at TIE
hatchery thus materially increaceU.

are now handled.
This means the solving of a prutlcm

which hitherto from lack of the right
