THE BE VOLUME 6. NUMBER 109. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, TUESDAY EVENING AUGUST 25, 1908. PIONEEE SOCIETY. FORTY CENTS PER MONTH VIOLATORS OF LAWS CONVICTED; FINED THE GAME Game Warden Rutledge, After Strenuous Trip, Arrests Iliegal Fishermen, Who Against Them fo W. A. Caldwell, Morgan Kenyon | and Matt Kemp were arrested| late Sunday afternoon, on the north shore of Cass Lake, by A. G. Rut-‘ ledge of this city warden for thei State Game & Fish Commission, charged with illegal fi:hing. Warden Rutledge for several days had been quietly working on some information which he had to the effect that there were violations of the law in the vicinity of Cass Lake, and in order to get on the ground without being seen by any of the Cass Lakers, he made the trip from Bemidji to Cass Lake by boat down the Mississippiriver and intermediate | lakes to Cass Lake and Turtle River, | where the latter stream empties into Cass Lake from the north. Mr. Rutledge, accompanied by Charles Villeman of this city as assistant, left Bemidji Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock, ina heavy rowboat bound for Cass lake. The warden and his assistant encountered much shallow water on their way and were three times marooned on rocks in the river between the outlet of Lake Bemidji and the dam, some three miles east of Bemidji. They were compelled to jump into the water and haul the boat over the shoals and both were wet all over when they left the dam. They portaged around the dam and after taking a cup of coffee pro- ceeded on their way down the stream. The water was very low in the river below the dam and they were again compelled to get out several times and pull the "boat through the water. It was very dark when they reached Wolf lake, and they were confused .as to directions, being nearly an hour in the lake hunting for the Mississippi outlet, eastward, which they finally found. Plead Guilty to Charges r Violating Law. They camped on the shore of .the Mississippi river, about 200 yards | from the outlet of Wolf lake, and slept on the ground in their blankets. The night was very cold and they had anything but a delightful out- ing. _They were up before dawn Sunday morning and were well on their way down the river when the mist" lifted and the sun began to shine. They went on down the Mississippi to Lake Andrusa and went to the north shore of that lake, afier which they went on their way down the Mississippi to Allan’s Bay, passing through Allan’s Bay into Cass lake, They circled the north shore of Cass lake to Buck lake. Here they found W. A. Cadwell fishing with two polls attached to a-boat which he was rowing. The warden held a conversation with Cadwell and ascertained that Cadwell was fishing for the market and was shipping his fish to Booth & Co. of St. Paul. Cadwell was not disturbed and was allowed to fish in contentment while the warden and his companion went on to the mouth of Turtle river, some three miles distant. They passed on from Turtle to Kithi lake and to the north shore of that lake. They laid in the grass for two hours watching a man fishing, and found that he was not violating the law, they then returned to the mouth of Turtle river. At the mouth of Turtle Mr. Rutledge watched Morgan Kenyon fish for over an hour with two poles, when he went out and ar- rested Morgan, bringing him to a tent which Morgan and a compan- ion were occupying. They waited there some time, when Morgan’s and the latter was also returning with two poles, companion appeared Fruits for Canning We are prepared to fruits for canning purposes Be sure to let us know your svpply our customers with as they come into irarket. wants in this line.

They are splendid warm-weather suits and, by the way, the Sergeant looks cool and comfortable in his new raiment. W. W. Woolley of Park Rapids, who is a candidate for the republican nomination for county attorney of Hubbard county, was a visitor in the city last night. Mr. Woolley went to Laporte this morning to look after some of his political fences in that vicinity. He is quite confident that he will secure the nomination for county attorney of Hubbard county. the warden took him into custody also. From the Turtle river Mr. Rut- ledge went back to Buck lake, where he placed Caldwell under arrest, and together with Morgan, went to Cass Lake, after having seized some fish which they had caught. Kenyon and Kemp were allowed to remain in Cass Lake; they being well known to the game warden and promising to appear in justice court in Bemidji Tuesday morning. Caldwell was brought to Bemidji on the early Monday morning train and appeared . before Judge Bailey in municipal court yesterday, where he plead guilty to fishing illegally and was fined $15 and costs. As Caldwell would have to send for the money he was sentenced to serve a term of thirty days in the county jail pending the arrival of funds, and upon payment of the fine im- posed will be released from custody. Before H. W. Bailey, municipal judge, this forenoon, Matt Kemp and Morgan Kenyon plead guilty to illegal fishing and were fined $10 and costs, which they paid. They fulfilled the promise made to Warden Rutledge at CassLake Sunday night and came to Bemidji on their own accord this morning and reported to the warden. Undoubtedly these three convic- tions will have much to do with the proper observance of the game laws in the vicinity of Cass Lake in the future. The trip taken by Game Warden Rutledge and his assistant was a strenuous one and involved a lot of hard work and no little hard- ship. Funeral of Woodword Baby.

The law relative to licensing hunters provides that no license is necessary for a hunter to shoot small game in the county in which he resides, but if he desires to hunt out of his own county he must procure a license, costing $1, from the county auditor. The license permits a hunter to shoot all kinds of game, in season, and confers shipping privel- eges. ) The funds derived from the sale of licenses go into the game and fish commission’s general fund to be used for protection and propagation of game and fish. ! It is well, however, for every per- son who hunts either large or small game to secure a license from the auditor before going into the field, As licenses are now issued they are good for both big and small game, and the fee remains the same, being $1, so that hunters who get licenses for the small game season get a license for big game as well as birds. The season for big game, however, does not open until November 10, and closes November 30. For small game (birds and fowls) a one day’s bag shall not exceed fifteen birds. The number of birds allowed to have in possession at any THE SMALL-GAME SEASON OPENS ON NEXT TUESDAY No License Needed to Hunt In One’s Own County, but in Order to Avoid Possible Complications Huaters Should Procure License. one time is fifty aquatic fowl; forty- five other game birds. - Every non-resident hunter is required to secure a non-resident license before shooting game of any chacacter within the state of, Minne- sota. The fee for small-game license is $10 and that for large game is $25. Only one license can be issued to one person and it is not transferable. It is also the duty of every hunter to exhibit his license to any person, on request. There does not appear to be many ducks in the immediate vicinity of Bemidji, although hunters report a good supply on the Missiasppi river, between Bemidji and Wolf lake, and on the rice beds from there on to Cass Lake. In former years, but few prairie chickens have made their appear- ance near Bemidji, although there were a few coveys last year, near the city, there being one near the Blakeslee farm that was the pride of every resident of the vicinity. How- ever, there are quite a few conveys at the present time. Most of the hunters who hunt prairie chickens near Bemidji go to Solway, Shevlin and Bagley. Several local hunters intend going to Hallock and other parts of the Red River Valley to hunt chickens and ducks, and no doubt there will be a great scramble at the county auditor’s office for licenses within the next few days. The State Game & Fish Commis- sion will make an especial effort to protect chickens and prevent “sooners” from killing birds before the season opens next Tuesday. lumber as desired Get TELEPHONE 371 The DOUGLASS LUMBER CO0.
