Deaton's basket he sorted out al.

the fish on which the fine was paio
we're less than FIVE inches long. Tt
replace these fish would cost the
state not less than 500. Paul stream

Upon being interviewed Commits
sioner Titcomb said he would like O
find some less Objectionable method
of protecting the young trout to give
them a chance to breed before being
caught, and has under consideration
recommending a limit as TO number
that may be taken in one day, and
continuing the maximum weight
limit. Such an arrangement would
enable the angler who is DESTROYS of
getting a good basket of fish to keep
sufficient number of good ones.

vantage to restore the short ones to
the waters. He also thinks that with
an anglers license to furnish the
funds to operate hatcheries in every
county it would be feasible
to repeal the six inch law pro
vided the number limit is enforced.

D0DS GETS
EIGHT YEARS
Murderer Of Ed Burke, Killed In Drunk.
en- Row at Russell, Will Put In
EIGHT Years at Hard Labor

I'd Thomas Dods, who was ar
rested some two weeks ago for
the murder of Ed. Burke
was taken to Rugby last Thurs
day by the sheriff and had his
hearing in district court before
Judge Burr. Dods entered a
plea of guilty of manslaughter
in the first degree. He was
given a sentence of eight years
at hard labor in the penitenti-
ary at Bismarck.
The homicide occurred dur
ing a drunk en- row and owing
to the fact that no weapons
were used also on account OF
pleading guilty, the court
showed some lenienCy. The
convicted man is about 49
years of age and although he
has no fixed location, those for
whom he worked around Russell
for the past few years, say he
was not a bad character.
