ney last Sunday. OF course, every
thing was fish that came to his hook,
oig9and.ittle ,old and young, good, bad
and Indifferent. This is Wanton waste,
woeful destruction, and it is unfortu-
nate, indeed, ifthere is no way to pro-
hibit and prevent such a practice.
With the practice of a little conserva-
ton and Judgment Lake Killarny
would soon become famous as one of
the greatest fishing places in all the
Mississippi Valley. Let us make the
angling hog desist in his nefarious
practice. Every true sportsman will
be glad to do all that he car to ac-
complish such an end.
