The Game Law.

Next Monday will be the last day until November 10th on which sportsmen can legally hunt for any kind of game in Indiana. One provision of the game law is to the effect that there shall be no hunting between the dates mentioned. The law was enacted especially to protect quails, but there are so many people who would take advantage of the law if shooting quail alone was the offense, that it was made to cover all kinds of game. It is said Z. T. Sweeney, of Columbus, commissioner of game and Asheries, is going to issue permits allowing hunting from October Ist to November 10th, if the persons are known to be reputable,' He will likely have more Applications for these permits than he can read befoite the law expires.
