third degree tactics as practieed IN
nearly every big city in America.
When the third degree is entirely

the real culprit. The third degree
is method of wringing a "confes-
sion" out of suspect by torturing
him into making the kind OF a state

make. And after this confession" Is
forced from the victim, the tortu ers
shake hands with themselves that they

made late in the season and coming
late but a part of what was asked
for was secured. AS it was we re-
ceived and planted over 100000 trout
of the eastern brook and rainbow va
riety.
The streams are live and some OF
them are the largest in the county
all accessible and will afford the fish
ermen an unlimited territory. in every
part of the county. Most of these
streams rise in the Ruby or Humboldt
mountains. few in the Jarbridge
mountains, the lakes being located
in the Ruby range. 1t is planned this
year to stock more of the lakes in
