Will Fight the Fish Law.

A meeting was held at Logansport Thursday night to effect an organization which has as its object the bringing of a suit to contest the constitutionality of the fish and game law passed by the last general The fisher men of Indiana feel that an injustice has been done them by section 4 of the new law, which prohibits fishing with hook and line in the running streams of the state during the months of May and June, and they believe that the law can be knocked out.

A committee was appointed to raise a fund for the purpose of prosecuting the case, and a suit will be filed in the circuit court in Logansport within a few days.
