LEAGUE NOTES. 



Ignus Lidsky, against whom I made a 

 complaint for shooting a pair of mallards, 

 we had up before a justice of the peace to- 

 day, and Lidsky got $10 and costs, amount- 

 ing to about $20. Sorry he did not get 

 more, but he pleaded guilty and got off 

 easier on that account. 



I have been appointed deputy game war- 

 den for this county, and think I shall have 

 a number of such cases to report during 

 the fall. I serve without pay, but shall 

 give as much time as I can to it under the 

 circumstances. The game warden who ap- 

 pointed me and I worked together in this 

 case. I learned of the killing. We went 

 out together and looked the matter up, and 

 he served the warrant, which I swore out. 



F. S. Merrill, Chief Warden L. A. S., 



Spokane, Wash. 



I regret to report to you that one of our 

 members, Mr. C. R. Bement, Terre Haute, 

 recently met a horrible death. He had 

 written you, sending his application, and 

 you forwarded his letter to me. Saturday, 

 the 8th inst., I was in Terre Haute and 

 called on him and had a talk about L. A. S. 

 work. He was going to take up the work 

 in his city. He was riding from his coun- 

 try home to Terre Haute last Monday on 

 horseback. His horse became frightened 

 at an ihterurban electric car coming up be- 

 hind him. Mr. Bement was thrown on the 

 track in front of the car, and it ran over 

 him, killing him instantly. He was about 

 25 years of age, and one of the most popu- 

 lar men in Terre Haute. 



Frank L. Littleton, 



Indianapolis, Ind. 



The Chief Warden of the Indiana Di- 

 vision of the League recently delivered an 

 address at Fortville, Ind., to a large gather- 

 ing of farmers and sportsmen. He outlined 

 to them the work of the League and the 

 necessity of general co-operation with it in 

 order to protect the game and the song 

 and insectivorous birds. It is expected 

 that a large local chapter will be organ- 



By all means let us have a gun license, 

 the higher the better. We have a dog li- 

 cense, and it works well. I used to keep 

 2 to 6 dogs. I made them earn their mush 

 and pay their own taxes. My fox hounds 

 caught minks, skunks and 'coons, together 

 with stray cats, and this made good wages. 

 Who could reasonably kick at paying 50 

 cents, or even $1.50, on a gun? The dog 

 tax cleaned out the yaller dogs ; perhaps a 

 gun tax would clean out the yaller gunners.

If you have not yet ordered a set of the 

 Hudson pictures, illustrating the poem 

 "To My Gun," you should do so at once. 

 Only a few sets were printed and nearly 

 all of them have been sold. No more will 

 be printed, as the plates were too much 

 worn in running the November edition of 

 Recreation to make any more good im- 

 pressions. Only $1 for the 5 full page 

 artist's proofs Nothing finer could be 

 found at the price, for decorating an of- 

 fice, a dining-room, a parlor or a den.

 sending me a club of subscriptions to Rec- 

 reation now is your time. People are look-

Have you seen those beautiful gun 

 racks, made by E. W. Stiles, of polished 

 buffalo horns? They are useful, unique 

 and attractive additions to a sportsman's 

 den. For 5 subscriptions I will send you 

 one of these racks.
