FISH AND GAME LAWS UN-
DER FURTHER REVISION

The fish and game laws of Wiscon-
sin are being changed at the present
session of the legislature. The bill
provides for a ten day open season
for the shooting of deer. One deer
may be shot by each individual. This,
in effect, repeats the one buck law.
Other clauses in the bill limits the
number of bass or pike that may be
caught in one day by one individual
to ten; the former law allowed fifteen.
Open season all the year, all over the
state for crappies and silver bass. Lii
cense fee Of 81 for trapping with grad
uated scale in addition to the number
OF traps used. The present law per-
mits the use Of five poles in fishing.
The new bill provides for the reduc-
ton to three poles, but allows two
hooks on all lines. It removes the
penalty for unattended poles.

VIM. Bell ST., was stricken Satur-

which has left him practically help
less and with but little chance for
recovery. His friends had hoped he
was on the road to recovery and he
had been able to get about some after
his first sick spell several weeks
ago. His son, John, came from Otta-
wa, Ill, Saturday and his daughter
Mrs. Sarah Clark Of Boscobel, is also
here. We trust Mr.. Bells life may be
spared, although but little hope is
held out for his recovery. He is grad
ually growing weaker, is unable to
take any nOurishment and the end
does not seem very far away. The
second shock in the nature of a par
alytic stroke has left him practically
helpless and unable to talk.

as he could and finally made a small
bet with the doctor that he would
have hair on his head in three days.
On his return from a shore visit to

course has won the bet. He says DR..
Heraty may be a competent physician
but that he certainly lacks knowledge
