my this season, away from their
'wn or adjoining farms, will take
his due and timely warning that
hey positively MUST first obtain
l hunting license. l shall insist
that the Judge in giving his in
'tructions to the grand jury shall
admonish that body to diligently
inquire into all attractions of the
Iish and game laws; and during
the coming session of the grand
jury, and all other sessions, for
that matter, | shall diligently re-
quest the members to inquire of
each and every witness whether
the witness has seen any person
hunting away from his own or
adjoining farms. The witness
will not be asked whether the
hunter had a license, for the wit
ness would not know, perhaps.
The grand jury will be furnished
list OF the names of all persons
who have obtained hunting
license, by the County Court
Clerk, and from this list the
grand jury will determine who
shall be indicted.
And even after the hunter has
secured his license, before he
hunts on the lands of another
person, whether adjoining him
or not, he must obtain a written
permission to do so.
The lowest fine for hunting
without a license is fifty dollars,
and the fine may be as high as
two hundred dollars. Even when
you have a license, you will be
subject to a fine of ten dollars if
a warden finds you hunting with
out your license along with you.
Everybody would claim to have
a license at home, of course, and
thus get away from the warden
for the time being, and otherwise
cause a lot of trouble. So &c
hunting with your license in your
= pocket.
1t is unlawful to sell quails tt
any one, and any public carrier
that ships them is equally liable
with the seller.
Every law-abiding citizen is re
specially requested to aid the
