Lo! the Poor Hunters!

The intricacies of lhe new Indiana game laws are such that the more is published about them the less people seem to understand them. Generally speaking, however, it is unlawful to do anything with a gun except to blow down the barrel to see if its loaded. That act, like virtue, is supposed to carry with its own reward. The gist of thelaw, as it is especially applicable at this time of the year, is contained in the following paragraph: It is unlawful to shoot quail, prairie chickens or partridges, except between November 10th and Jan. Ist. It is unlawful to offer 4or sale at any time, quail. It is at all times unlawful to hunt with dogs or shoot with any kind of fire arms upon any enclosed hud without first securing the written consent of the owner theieof or the tenant. No game of any kind shall be killed or hunted with dogs from October first to November 10th, without first securing a permit from the Commissioner of Fisheries and Game, which may be issued to any reputable person who is a citizen of this state, free of cost. To obtain such a license write to Z. T. Sweeney, Coluinbus, Ind., telling him that you are a citizen of Indiana and want a license to hunt such game as the law allows, from Oct. Ist to Nov, 10th, enclosing a 2 cent stamp. But remember this license does not authorize bunting game out of season, nor on enclosed land.
