Brewer Explains
New Game Law

North Dakota sportsmen are unduly
excited over the erroneous tele.
grams under Washington date lines
to the effect that the shooting of
wild geese and ducks is prohibited
by the Weeks-McLean law.
There is no occasion for alarm ov.
er the situation" said Col. Brewer
of Fargo, secretary Of the N. D..
Game and Fish Board Of Control
1.-THE sportsmen will continue to shoot
wild water fowl for many years in
the fall without interruption. The
primary object of the Weeks-McLean
bill enacted by congress was for the
protection of misunderstanding migra-
tory birds not protected under many
state laws. Some valuable birds
priced in the north as song birds are
regarded in the southern states,
birds. The secondary object of the
bill is to prevent spring shooting of
water fowl and to make it easier for
those birds to breed in peace and
propagate. North Dakota has a law
preventing spring shooting and ducks
breed here in great quantities. In
many other states like Iowa and ILL.,
nois spring shooting is allowed and
the slaughter will ultimately lead to
determination of the favorite water
fowl.
"The Weeks-McLean BILL" contin.
ued Sec. Brewer, turns over the pro.
lection of migratory birds to the U
S. department of agriculture. The bu.
reau of biology will have charge Of
working out the regulations for the
protection of game under this meas.
ure.
There will be a conference of the
heads of this division with the rep
resentatives of the stage game boards
and the state audubon societies. This
will probably be held in Chicago in
July. At that time matter govern.
ing the birds will be determined and
districts or zones arranged in which
there will be certain periods for clos.
ed and for open periods for shoot.
ing. Many birds not now protected
will be under the new law and all
spring shooting will be permanently
abolished. The regulations must be
three months before
they are operative and will in no
affect fall shooting in this
part of the country. They will be in
force, however, all over the United
States in time to prevent spring
shooting in 1914.
North Dakotans," concluded Col
Brewer, need not fear their favorite
sport will be eliminated. The season
may be shortened somewhat, but wild
ducks and geese will be shot in the
fall for many years. AS North Dako
ia is one of the states prohibiting
spring shooting, The changes here
will be less radical than those of
some other sections of the country
More migratory birds will undoubted
ly be added to the protected list"

Much mystery surrounds the cause
of the wreck, and as result OF its
investigations last evening, the Cour'
ier-News secured conflicting state
ments thereon from parties claiming
to know important facts bearing on
this point. The point at issue de-
ponds on whether the dead engineer
ran past block that was thrown
against him and was therefore auto.
amticaHy thrown from the track by
the derail.
The wires connecting the derail
with the signal tower were bent and
broken, and twisted out Of shape by
the derailed engine and coaches, so
that apparently nothing concerning
the cause can be learned therefrom.
It will probably require an official in
vestigation to determine just what
happened.
The wreck occurred near where
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern tracks cross. Just east of the
interlockers and practically at the
point where the wreck occurred live
the families of H. F. and C. H. Ed
wards ,one family on each side of
the track.
Mrs. H. F. Edwards told the Cour.
ier.News that they were at supper
when the Oriental Limited came tear

out to watch it go by. She says Mr..

Think Of the street itself, with its
gable-ended houses starting from the
dark shadow Of Temple Bar. From

eating in some abstruse fashion the
trade followed within. There are the
red lion, green dragon, hog-in-armor,

hanging threateningly over the pedes
TRANS. But the street is narrow, with
gutter in the center, along which
runs all the refuse of the houses, and
through which trot the horse, car
ers of mud over the passers-by, who
fight for the wall side as they walk.
At night, the MOhocks, some of
them being among the fine and fash
ionable men of the day, roam about
the neighborhood, breaking windows,
stealing knockers, beating the watch.
insulting women, or surrounding q

At this time too, Fleet Street is the
