This was the most crushing of all

His courage was gone. He wanted
to get away from his tormentors.
Mangold leaned over and shrewdly
suggested, ''Now you can get out of
this by signing a confession. We
won't arrest you if you do that. And
besides that bill in your pocket was

brought 81 bill to light.
This was the last straw needed.
Circumstantial evidence is a terrible

BETTER DISCARD OLD MiNoW

Deputy Game Warden Z. G. Preuss-
ner received instructions from State
Game Warden Hinshaw authorizing
him to give warning that the, large,
majority OF the seins used In catch
ing minnows are not made to con-
form with the state laws. The law
plainly states that the meshes in the
minnow seins should be three-eights
of an inch. Nearly all Of the seins
used by the boys In catching min
nows have meshes Of one-eighth Of
an inch. Mr.. Preussner states that
many Of the boys are careless when
catching minnows. Instead Of put
ting back into the water the little
fish they leave them on the
sand bank where the sun kills them
in few minutes. Unless this prac-
tice is stopped, the stxeams win soon
be without the small fish. Mr..
Preussner asks US to state that the
authorizes do not intend to prosecute
any boy for having used sein IN
which the holes were not as large
as prescribed by law, but that from
now ON the law will be rigidly enforc
ed, Besides having the authority 70
take the seins, the game wardens
are asked to prosecute yiolators Of
the law. Better throw away that
old minnow sein and get one with
big enough holes. It will be the
cheapest in the end. &.
