ISSUE WARNING ON WILD GAME HUNTING

Violators of the law against shooting duck and water fowl in the spring, will be prosecuted in federal court, according to an announcement of the state department of conservation. Game wardens have been instructed to assist federal officers in enforcing the federal migratory bird regulations under which the shooting of duck and water fowl is prohibited in the spring. The flight of ducks and geese northward is new on and since the first of march it is said several large flocks have been noticed passing over the city in a northerly direction. The open season for shooting wild ducks and geese is from September 16 to December 31.
