FISH DECLINE
MAUREK'S BID
FOR A SWIM
Efforts 10 Move Game Fish
From Glencoe Lake 10 Mis-
souri, River Futile

The fish have declined the invita-
ton Of Il. W. Maurek, Fargo. state
game warden. to go swimming.
On account Of the low water in
Glencoe lake. Mr.. Manrck. who was
in Bismarck the first Of the week, de-
cided that to prevent their suffoca-
ton, the fish or ut least the game
fish, should be transported to the
Missouri river. Nets from the fish
hatchery were secured for the pur-
pose and yesterday morning Mr.
Maurek and his assistants went to
the lake to undertake the transfer
But the water was so exceedingly
low, and the bottom so deeply grown
up with streamers Of moss, that it
was found impossible to catch more
than a few bullheads and catfish,
though the lake was dragged six Or
seven times during the day.
No game fish at all were captured
and, realizing that the fish which
were there would soon suffOcate in
the warm water, Mr.. Maurek told the
people round about and those who
had come out from town to go ahead
and take the fish from that lake in
any way they could get them. There
is no more than eight inches of wa
ter in the lake. according to the game
warden. and he thought it better the
fish should be useful TO someone,
rather than a total loss to the state.
Mr.. Maurek returned to Bismarck
last night, and left this morning for
Halliday where he will appear
against several people who are charg-
cd with violation Of the game laws.
