HARD PENALTIES
ON VIOLATORS OF
THE FISHING LAWS

DOVER. Del, May 26.-The game
fish season has just opened in Della
ware and, as the Game and Fish Com
mission has policed the State, it is
hoped that the non-residents of Della
ware who fish and hunt here. on whom
the law is most severe, will take pains
to inquire into the new restrictions.
By rather drastic provision of the
fishing laws a fine of not less than
$50 is imposed on the nonresident
fisherman. The gunners are subject
to a fine of only from $40 to $50 Fines
are imposed where the fisherman or
the hunter has failed to take out a
license.
The fee for nonresident fisherman's
license is $3.50; nothing for a resi-
dent fisherman For a hunter it is
s10.5O for the nonresident. and s110
for the resident. The license always
must be at hand when called for
The open season for fresh water
bass, pike, pickerel, provided none Of
them are under 10 inches, is from May
20 to November 80. Fresh water trout
more than six inches can be caught
from April is to August Is.
Any person holding a license for
hunting and fishing is authorized to
arrest, without warrant, violators of
the fish and game laws.
Any person who holds a hunting Ii
cense may carry with him from the
State, in any one week, not more
than so reedbirds, so railbirds, not
more than 20 birds or fowl of any
other species, and ten animals of each
species. excepting muskrats. provid-
ing any game so carried or shipped
may be open for inspection and count.
He must make affidavit. however, that
the birds are not to be shipped out for
sale or profit, and that he lawfully
killed the game.
The American Game Protective and
Propagating Association is helping
with men and money, the organization
OF the Delaware game plan and Philip

BASS GET
ON MANY LINES

CANAL. Del. May 26.-Yesterday
was the first Sunday since the open
ing of the bass and pike season that
fishermen had to try their luck. and
many fishermen enjoyed the day VIII p
ping the waters of the upper lake af-
ter the gamey fish. Joseph Tomlin-
son, Of Wilmington, was the luckiest
follower of the rod, getting five fine
specimens. Several others caught
one or more large mouth bass while
many who fished the Feeder landed
strawberry bass.
One thing noticeable yesterday was
the absence of the usual number Of
Philadelphia fishermen who have
heretofore fished in the canal. The
new law, requiring them to take out
nonresident licenses. has apparently
put a stop to their visits.

SECOND HUSBAND IS SLAIN
YOUNG WOMAN TWICE WIDOWED
BY ASSAsSINS' EFFORTS.
mysterious Death of Ora c. Byrkett
Recalls the Murder of Wealthy
A. w. Shrey.

Little Rock, Ark. Dec. 4.-Twice
widowed by mysterious assass nations
is the experience that has befallen
Mrs. Fairbelle Hill-Shirey- Byrkett of
Minturn, who is yet a young and
comely woman, despite the tragedies
that have come into her life.
Several years ago the body of her
first husband, a. w. Shirley, a wealthy
merchant, was found in his store at
Ninturn. He had been shot and killed
by someone whose identity was never
known, although arrests We're made
and there We're several trials of sus-
poets.
Shirley willed a large share of his
estate TO the Odd Fellows to establish
an orphanage, leaving only cent to
the widow and other heirs. There was
a sensational attempt in the courts
two years ago on the part of the
widow to break the fill, but it was
compromised, the Odd Fellows taking
40 per cent the widow 40 per cent
and the other heirs 20 per cent.
She and Shirley were not happy in
their married life, and at the time of
his death she was trying to get di-
vorce from him. Soon afterward the
widow married Ora c. Byrkett OF Min
turn. On the night of Nov is Byr-
kett. the second husband was found
dead on the floor beside his bed. UNI
der mysterious circumstances. Mrs.
Byrkett was in a sanitarium at Bates
vile at the time.
The condition of the body seemed
to indicate death from poison, as there
apparently had been commissions SINH
lar to those caused by cyanide of po-
tassium. He had disrobed and had
cigarette in his mouth. Near by was
an empty whisky bottle containing a
few drops of the liquor.
A thorough examination of the
premises was made by Coroner Land,
who performed an autopsy. The coro-
ner's jury returned a verdict of death
from causes unknown, but those in
terested in the solution of the mys-
terry are not content with that.
