BETTER TAKE OUT
HUNTING LICENSE
BEFORE GOING AFTER SQUIRRELS
AND OTHER GAME, AS ARREST
is LIABLE TO FOLLOW.

Deputy Game Warden Cruce stated
this morning that some hunters Of the
city would be in trouble If they dld
not come and secure hunting license
before going out after squirrels and
other game. He stated that he had
been informed that several parties had
violated the law in this respect, but
whether Intentionally or not he was
unable to state.
He stated that the last legislature
kad abolished the office Of deputy
game warden but the law governing
hunters was the same now as 1t al
ways was and in order to protect
themselves the hunters had better Sc
cure license before going hunting His
term expires on the third of October,
after which time license may be Sc
cured from the county clerk or from
assistants who have received appoint
ment. A few assistants have been
appointed by Mr.. Cruce, but agents are
not anxious to sell license from the
fact that they have to pay for the
books in advance and take chances on
selling them to the hunters. The sea-
son for doves opens on the 18th OF
August and all who desire to hunt
must secure license before tnat time.
Mr.. Cruce stated this morning that he
did not wish to cause the arrest Of
anyone for overlooking their license,
but unless they secured them he would
be compelled to do so, when his at
tention was called to the fact.
