Seigning and DynamitingMust Cease
The Holt County Game and Fish
Protective Association are in receipt
of a letter from the State Game War
den Rutenbeck in which he promises
prompt and hearty co-operation for
the members of the local game club in
their efforts to stop the seining and
dynamiting of fish in local waters, and
the early and unsportsmanlike de
struction of prairie chickens and
quail. It is said that notwithstanding
thewwarning given by the local asso
ciation, the seining gang has purchas
ed new nets and expect to make a big
killing of all kinds of fish in the near
future. If they persist in their folly
the local officers say that they must :
take the consequences. It is not the
desire of the association to punish
anybody, but it is well known that
seining and dynamiting fish is a crim
inal as well as a mean and contempt
ible act and those who practice it '
must take their chances with other
criminals. A bunch of the outlaws
were seen organizing for a raid yes- 1
terday. Their names were taken and
their actions were watched by mem- i
bers of the local organization, and the ,
evidence gathered will be submitted to
the State Game Warden for appro
priate action. 1
