Receipts From Fishing and Hunting
Permits Show Popularity
Ponds Being Built
Fishing and hunting is becoming
more popular in Nebraska. At lean
more people are purchasing permits,
and dollars aren't generally forked
over to the state unless something
is expected in return.
An audit of the records of the
state game and parks commission,
records, which has just been com
pleted by State Accountant C. A.
Summer, shows that 7,000 more lic
enses were purchased in 19 28 than
in the previous year. The total num
ber of permits taken out last year
was 170,240 as compared with 163,
335 in 1928. These permits netted
the state a dollar each.
Other permits for trapping and
raising game birds and fur bearing
animals brought the total receipts up
to 1197,204. Another $653 worth of
permits was sold but the money ha3
not yet been collected. Some of this
is due from persons authorized to
sell permits but more than $400 of
the amount is tied up in failed banks
Sold Fish for $6,321.
In addition to the sale of permits
the commission derived $6,221.29
from the sale of course fish which
were seined from lakes and streams
and another $5,136 from the sale of
confiscated guns, receipts from parks
the sale of a small tract of land
ner Fremont, and damages assessed
against game law violators for tak
ing fish or game out of season. This
latter source yielded $1,8 SI.
The 1929 legislature appropriated
$350,000 for game propagation and
conservation, salaries, and the pur
chase and maintenance of lakes, and
$37,000 for the maintenance of the
state parks, all of which comes out
of the receipts of the commission
from its various sources.
The audit as of April 30 show3
that the expenditures of the first
ten months of the first year were

Holding Ponds Built.
The state board of agriculture
gave the commission space at the
fair grounds for the construction of
transfer and holding ponds, which
were built at a cost of $20,000. These
holding ponds are used to keep fish

Dean Marshall
Victim of Acci
dental Shootin?
Former Resident of Weeping Water
and Banker in Otoe County Is
Found Dead in Garage.
The body of Dean Marshall, 39,
former cashier of the Bank of Doug
las, and well known in Cass county,
was found in his garage at 7 o'clock
Saturday morning, with a wound in
his chest.
After an examination by Sheriff
Carl Ryder and County Attorney
George II. Heinke it was announced
that the shooting was accidental. No
inquest was held.
The evidence showed that Mr. Mar
shall was removing articles from the
rear of his automobile, among them a
.22 calibro rifle, preparatory to a trip
to Lincoln. It is believed he took out
the rifle, which he carried in his car
to shoot rabbits, muzzle first, and
that it discharged int6 his heart.
When the body was found by his
father, William Marshall, who was
working next door in his garden, his
body was partly inside the automo
bile. A pipe he had been smoking
was inside the car.
None heard the discharge of the
rifle. The elder Marshall investiga
ted when ,he saw the doors of the
garage standing open.
It was learned from members of
the family that Mr. Marshall arose
shortly after 6 o'clock Saturday
morning. He was in good spirits Fri
day evening and retired late after lis
tening to the radio.
Mr. Marshall was born in Weep
ing Water June 6, 1S91. He attend
ed the public schools, there and in
1919 removed to Douglas with his
parents. Prior to the time he be
came cashier of the Douglas bank he
worked for the First National and
the Bank of Syracuse.
He was married to Ruby Pohlman,
Syracuse, who survives with two chil
dren, Ilene and Ella Josephine. Oth
er survivors are his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. William Marshall; two brothers,
Spencer J. of Weeping Water and Dr.
J. B. of Lincoln; and two sisters,
Mrs. L. W. Rybin, Lead, S. D., and
Mrs. Gene W. Bader of Fremont.
Mr. Marshall rwas a member of the
Masonic lodge and the Lutheran
church.
The funeral of the late Dean Mar
shall was held from the church at
Auburn and the Interment made at
the Wyuka cemetery at Lincoln, the
services being held in the morning
and the interment made the same af
ternoon. Spencer J. Marshall and
family were down to attend the
funeral as well as many of his for
mer friends in'this community.
holding that Capone's lawyer had
not cited time, nlace or particulars
of the alleged conspiracy. Former
Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio, owner

in the first conspiracy warrants but

REAL
ACCIDENT
PREVENTION NEEDED
The automobile accident record
continues its upward trend. So im
portant has this problem become that
President Hoover recently called an
other conference to consider means
for reducing fatalities.
One thing, at least, is clear the
methods of the past have failed. Com
pulsory insurance, heralded as the
long-awaited panacea, has not de
creased accidents. Traffic laws in
most states are outmoded or are in
adequately enforced. Traffic conges
tion on streets and highways grows
steadily more severe.
An authority on safety says that
the most important single step is
the licensing law for drivers. Thou
sands of. automobiles are being cp
erated by incompetent or reckless
persons, all of whom are potential
killers and destroyers of property.
Defective cars, turning to the mid
dle of the road, cutting in, passing
on curves, failure to give turning
signals, etc., are leading causes of
accidents. Every state should have
a driver's license law and av mod
ernized, rigidly enforced traffic code.

Fishermen
Desire Relief
from State Law
Local Men Join Protest to Governor
Weaver or. Law That Checks
Thei Opportunities.
Bearing petitions asking for relief
from the present law which prohibits
seining in the Missouri river, mem
bers of the Missouri River Fisher
men's Protective association called
on Governor Weaver Monday morn
ing. The governor told them he agreed
with their opinion that Nebraska and
Iowa should have uniform laws gov
erning seining. The Nebraska law,
which was recently upheld by the
federal supreme court, forces them
to set their nets and seins on the
Iowa side of the river, entailing much
time and expense, the fishermen
claim. Governor "Weaver also indi
cated that he might make a state
ment on the matter at a later date.
He reminded the petitioners that
since the regulations were law, it
was up to the state to enforce them.
The legislature must change the law
if it is unfair. ,
Among the association members
who called on the executive were:
Joe Blazek, Omaha; Sam Roberts and
J. Z. Roberts, Brownville; W. H.
Eledge, Omaha; John Richardson and
George Barr, Plattsmouth; and W.
H. Miller of Blair, secretary of the
association.
They declared their organization is
composed of approximately 1,200
members, of which 400 are active
fishermen who make all or part of
their living at seining. Their big
gest market, they explained, is for
carp and other scale fish, which are
sold at the Hebrew markets in Oma
ha. These buyers don't have so much
demand, they said, for catfish, which
are scaleless.
Enforcement of the new law has
cutj off the income of many of the old
river fishermen. Secretary Miller said
He believes that seining has little ef
fect on angling for sport. The belief
that nets are stretched across the
mouth of the Platte near Platts
mouth, preventing the migration of
fish into the smaller streams at
spawning time, also was scouted by
the fishermen, who said their net
would be washed away if placed in
such a position where the current is
swift.
A license to seine in Iowa costs
40 for each person. Miller explain
ed, besides the additional expense of
going across the river each day to
"run" the nets. He lives at Blair,
and it costs him $1 to make the round
trip over the highway bridge. River
conditions are not always right for
making the trip by boat. Besides
there is always the possibility that
landowners along the river banks
won't let the fishmen onto their land
to reach the fishing grounds, he said
The members brought with them
to Lincoln petitions signed by sev
eral thousand persons, they said, in
cluding many business men and
sportsmen.

Miss Jean Laverty of Omaha, Victim
oc Accident in San Pit Lake
at 4:30 Sunday.
Miss Jean Laverty, 21, of Omaha,
a co-ed at Nebraska university, was
drowned at 4:30 o'clock Sunday af
ternoon in a sand pit lake near South
Bend, Neb., when a motorboat in
which she was riding capsized in 80
feet of water. Three other persons
in the motorboat managed to cling
to the overturned bulk until rescued.
Miss Laverty was one of the Lav
erty twins, Cora and Jean, who five
years ago doubled in the leading
roles of a South High school class
play. She is the daughter of Rich
ard M. Laverty, 4304 South Omaha
commission man and former presi
dent of the Live Stock Exchange.
Miss Laverty, together with her
sister, Mrs. Guilford Darst of Ash
land, Miss Ethel Martin, and Dr.
E. E. Clark, also of Ashland, were
in a motorboat belonging to Dr. Clark
when it capsized.
The other three were able to reach
the boat after the upset, but Miss
Jean failed to reach the craft and
went down. Efforts to reach her were
unsuccessful.
Had Been on Picnic.
The four in the boat and others
were said to have been on a picnic
with others from Ashland. They
were on land belonging to the West
ern Sand Gravel company of South
Bend.
According to Mrs. Darst, a high
wind had kicked up large waves on
the lake, one of which unexpectedly
struck the motorboat broadside and
overturned it. The boat was .about
in the center of the lake at the time.
Mrs. Darst said that she and Dr.
Clark went to the aid of Miss Mar
tin, who is a poor swimmer.
Miss Laverty, who was an expert
swimmer, bobbed to the surface af
ter the upset and began to swim
easily, her sister said. But apparently
she had been dazed by a blow for
she swam away from the overturned
boat.
"After getting Miss Martin to the
boat I looked for my sister and saw
her go down suddenly," Mrs. Darst
said. "I swam to the spot where she
went down but failed to find any
trace of her.
"When she first started to swim
I thought she w-as striking out for
shore. She never made any call for
help."
Aid Slow in Coming.
Other boatmen, who were fishing
on the lake, failed to grasp the situ
ation and were slow in coming to
the aid of the three clinging to the
overturned craft. They were handi
capped by the high waves.
Volunteers dragged the lake and
dove into the cold water for nearly
four hours before the body was re
covered. It was taken to Ashland.
Miss Laverty had been chosen a
few days ago to teach home eco
nomics in Ashland schools next year
Miss Laverty was to have been
graduated from the university next
week. Two weeks ago she spent the
week-end at home but did not re
turn this week because of the pres
sure of college work. She was an
expert 6wimmer.
Her twin sister, Cora, was gradu
ated from the university a year ago
and has been teaching school at
Mead, Neb.
Miss Laverty was a room mate of
Miss Martha Gorder while at the Unl
versity of Nebraska and the death
of the friend has been a great snocK
to the Plattsmouth friend. Miss Gor
der had been invited to be one of
the ill fated picnic party Sunday but
was unable to go.
