DON'T FISH WITH
ARTIFICIAL LIGHTS
SAYS RECENT LAW

1t is against the law TO use artific-
ial lights when fishing, according TO
recent opinion of Chester S. Wilson,
assistant attorney general of Mime
sofa. He gave this opinion in answer
TO a request of George w Mccullough,
state game and fish commissioner.
Under an old law the use of arti-
fetal light was permitted in taking
rough fish during the spring spearing
season, but an amendment to the
game and fish laws made by the legis-
lature i'm 1929 now makes il illegal
to use artificial lights at any time,
the opinion says.

Pete Lucas. after the start that he made Wednesday night in the Granby ledgcs and woods, and bagged the first raccoon in nearly tour years of trying, has become imbued with what hunters some times call "coon fever,' and is out to establish a record in 'coons.
 In company with John Tattersall of Cherry street, Pete went to the widest section of the town of Had dam on Thursday night. and when they had returned to Pete's lunch room on Commercial street, each was carrying a coon almost identi- cal in size and weight. Each weighed just under 16 pounds. Pete shot one and John shot the other.
 There are three 'coons now hang ing in the window Of Pete's place, and as he will make one more trip before having a coon supper for the chiefs Of the fire and police de- partments, captains, reporters and two or three city officials. Pete has been the happiest man in New Brit ain since Wednesday night. but he declares that he is now the happiest coon hunter in Connecticut, for his greatest wish has been granted tagging two 'coons in one week
