Look Out for Game Warden.

Don't go gunning for rabbits tnitU Nov. 10th, and when you do go, keep your resident llcenre tn your pocket. The appended caution is published at the request of Z. T. Sweeney, state game commissioner: Section 601 of the present game law makes it a penalty to shoot, destroy or possess any wild squirrel between November Ist of any year and the following July Ist. It says nothing about the time from July Ist to November Ist Section 608 makes It unlawful to hunt any kind of game, except wild ducks and other water fowl, from October let to November 10thBoth of these sections are in force today. The open season for squirrels is clearly limited to the time between July Ist and October Ist. The only closed season for rabbits Is from October Ist to November 10th. The object of this clored season la to keep the violators oat of the fields that hunters who observe the law may have a fair chance at the quails November 10th. The game lawa are being better enforced and more respected every year. Hunters should be careful not to go into the fields without their resident licenses, as some ere paying heavy penalties for this violation. I am putting in a number of extra deputies for October with instructions to arrest all violators of every kind. " Very truly, - Z, T. SWEENEY, Commissioner.
