FISH AND GAME LAWS COMPILED
-Synopsis of State Laws in Regard
to Fishing and Hunting in
the State of Arkansas
The demand for information re
garding the fish and game laws of
the state has been so great since
the last session of the legislature
that a pamphlet has been issued
b.v Secretary of State Ludwig of
Little Rock in which all sections
now in force relative to fishing and
hunting have been compiled.
There are thirty sections on the
statue book- regarding fish and
game. Twelve of these sections
refer to fishing and the penalties
for violation, and the others to
game and penalties for violation.
For the information and guid
ance of its readers The Journal
gives the following brief synopsis
of the game laws. One of the
provisions in the act passed in 1903
and amended in 1905 provides
that non-residents shall not hunt,
shoot, fish or trap at any season
of the year in Arkansas except in
(Spring river in Sharp and Fulton
counties, where non-residents may
fish with hook and line. The sec
tions regarding fish prohibit the
use of seines, traps, etc., except
in Miller, Lafayette, Stone, John
son, Jefferson, Lee, Faulkner and
Phillips counties; prohibit the use
of explosives in all counties of the (
state, and prohibit the construc
tion of fish traps except in the
counties of Conway, Arkansas,
Saline, Madison, Little River, Yell
Poinsett,Cleveland, Lincoln, Law
rence, Union, Carroll, Grant, Iz
ard, Pike, White, Randolph, Cal-j
houn, Bradley, Fulton, Marion,
£*hi)Ups, Pallas, Baxter, Chicot,.
iiOnoke, Johnson, Ouachita, hide ,
pendence, Sharp, Miller, Pope,
.Newton, Cleburne, \ an Buren,
i$earcy, Hot Spring, Stone and
Clay.
The sections regaining game
provide penalties for killing quail
or partridges from March 1 to
September 1; deer or fawn Febru
ary 1 to September 1; wild tur
.keys, May 1 to September 1, and
prairie chickens, December 1 to
October 1. Hunting with gun is j
prohibited except during day time
on any of the waters of the state.
Pens and traps for wild turkeys,
are prohibited at all times, and
quail, prairie chickens and par
tridges may be caught in this
manner only during the open sea
son. Killing or maiming of any
wild birds except game birds is
prohibited. English sparrows,
crows, blackbirds, hawks, owls,
eagles and other birds of prey are
excluded.
The same section prohibits the
sale or exhibition for sale of such
game birds or their eggs and
makes transportation companies
liable for having such in their pos
session. The act prohibits the
*ale of deer, quail, wild turkeys,
prairie chickens or any other kind
of game except bear, rabbits and
squirrels. It also prohibits the
shipment from the state of any
kind of fish or game except rab
bits, which must be in open crates.
Chinese or English pheasants are
protected until January 1, 1913,
and a penalty is attached for kill
ing, maining, or shipping out of
the state, dead or alive any of
these fowls. The act gives rail
roads or express companies the
right to open and examine pack
ages which they may suppose con
tain fish or game for export.
An act ot tne last legislature
prohibits the caching of fish any
where in the state with anything
-except hook and line, except in
navigable streams, where hoop
nets without any wings may be
used. Chicot, Ouachita, Pike,
Tell and Woodruff counties are
•xcluded from this provision.
METHODIST GROWTH
The fifteenth quadrennial meet
ing of the general conference of
the M. E. Church, South, was
held at Birmingham, Ala., Thurs
day to Sunday of last week.
The report of the bishop shows
an increase of 109,427 members
during the past four years, as
against 38,085 during the proceed
ing quadrennial. The total mem
bership is now 1,614,648. The
Sunday School scholars enrolled
number 1,039,785, and the Ep
worth League number 110,487.
The receipts of the foreign mis
sion board for the quadrennial

crease over the preceeding four
years of $645,623. Collections
for church extension were $372,
649, an increase of $112,833 over
the quadrennial ending in 1902.
THE MAIN WITH A KICK
The man who gets the fewest
letters makes the most complaint
to the postmaster; the man who
never has a good meal at home
growls at the hotel accommoda
tions; the man who complains
most at his neighbors is the mean
est of his lot; the church member
who pays the least to the preach
er’s salary' finds the most fault,
and always complains of the man
agement of the church; the man
who never invests a dollar in town
enterprises is a man who is always
crying down public improvement;
the loafer or no account workman
is always to the front in strikes
and labor agitations, and the sub
scriber who is slowest to pay his
subscription finds the most fault
with his paper.—Ex.
DIED OF HYDROPHOBIA.
Charlie Robinson, the county
jailer at Lake. Village, Chicot
county, died Thursday of last
week from hydrophobia. About
three months ago a stray pup was
discovered under the door of the
Robinson residence and Mr. Rob
inson dragged him out. The dog
was vicious and bit him on the
hand, but nothing was thought of
the matter uutil one day the first
of last week when Mr. Robinson
was stricken with a peculiar mal
ady and a physician was summon
ed. He grew worse and the
trouble was pronounced hydropho
bia. For 24 hours before death
ensued he had to be strapped to
his bed.

ness to Mrs. Lucia Wilke, of Car
oline, Wis., as did one 25c box or

for 23 long \ curs. Greatest anti
