you. That's what happened to L. H..
Hubbard of California who was arrest
ed by Emil Fox on the 4th for fishing
without, license. 81 don't mind the
fine but\ I've motored all the way from
California and wanted to say that I
fished in Wisconsin," Hubbard said as
he paid his fine.
William A. Vorban, H. H. Henke,
