MUST NOT HUNT WILD GAME ON SUNDAYS

- Warning has been sounded by George N. MannfieM, chief of the division of fisheries and game un-, der the state conservation department, that the law making it an offense to hunt wild game on Sunday will be rigidly enforced. The penalty upon conviction is a sins of not less than $1 and not to exceed SSO. “There is no fish law in Indiana that makes it an offence to fish on Sunday, and therefore the wardens of the state service will not arrest persons for Sunday fishing because they have not the time to spare from their business to fish at any other period in the week.” Recently the department received numerous inquiries from women over the state wishing to know if they must take out a license to fish. The fish law in Indiana reads that persons who fish outside their own or adjacent county must have a license, and according to Mr. Mannfield’s interpretation this is applicable to all unmarried women 18 years of age or older.
