In Spite of Law, Fishing Through Ice Permissible Wardens Instructed Not to Make Arrests, as Fihh Die Unless Ar Holes , Cut in lee. Lincoln, Jan. 31. Fisherme n in the late regions of Nebraska are unmolested while fishing through the ice, even though it is against the law to angle in any way at this season. State fish and game offi cials have issued orders to wardens not to arrest persons found fishing through the ice. It has. been found, it is said, that! the opening of air holes in the ice docs much to sus tain life of fish. The few fish caught in this way il said to be small in comparison to the number saved from suffocation. A severe winter, it is said, will freeze ice . on the lakes to such a thickness that it is Jiot possible for a great number of fish to survive. Most of Nebraska's lakes are shal low, and unless openings are made that a little air may strike the water, a great many fish will .6uffocate as they did during the severe winter of several years ago. , Declared .Rare Sport. Kinged perch are practically the only kind of fish 'that may b caught through the ice with a hook and line. Game fish, such s bass, croppies, pike and trout, will not he lured to bait at this time of the year. Fishing through . the ice i de clared rare" sport. When properly equipped, it is not nearly so uncom fortable as one would imagine. Fish ermen construct little shanties of light wood or canvass and equip them with smalt stoves. These are hauled by hand over the ice on run ners to the place where they want fish. t Fish at this time of the year are, tonally "to bt found, where the water is deepest The perch are not particular as to the kind of bait of fered. As angle worms are next to impossible to obtain, the fishermen use raw meat or a piece of bread until they make their first catch. After this they usually use fish meat Short rods are used. Often these rods are nothing more than short sticks, 18 to 24 inches long. The bait is lowered to within several inches of ,the ground. HIGH SCHL BASKETBALL . Bloomfleld, SSj Jilobrarsi, 81.
