GAME WARDEN DYCHE DIES OF GILA 
MONSTER BITE. 
As we go to press one of our correspondents 
wires: “Topeka, Kans., Jan. 21. L. L. Dyche, state 
fish and game warden, died to-day, ten days 
after being biten by Arizona Gila monster.” It 
is with most sincere regret this news is received 
by editors and readers of Forest and Stream. 
Mr. Dyche s work of fish and game propagation 
and protection has won for him a national repu¬ 
tation. The state of Kansas owes to him what¬ 
ever game and fish are left in the woods, fields 
and waters of that state. His writings in Forest 
and Stream and other outdoor magazines are 
well known to outdoor persons. 
Of the Gila Monster, W. T. Hornaday says: 
The Gila Monster is perhaps the most famous 
lizard of North America, and its first name is 
pronounced He’ la. It is odd looking and very 
showy, a large specimen has a total length of 
20 inches, girth around the middle, nine and a 
half inches, and weighs 43 ounces. This lizard 
inhabits the desert regions of Arizona and ad¬ 
joining state of Sonora, IVfexico. It is more 
sluggish in its movements than a box tortoise. 
UNITED ANGLER’S LEAGUE TO EXHIBIT. 
The United Angler’s League although now in 
existence twelve years has during the past year, 
received a new impetus of life, and is doing work 
that is bound to prove of great value to the 
salt water angler. 
They have now some 500 active fishermen en¬ 
rolled and hold two meetings monthly, one in 
Brooklyn and one in New York City. 
They have accomplished a lot of good work 
during the past year, among these being the pass¬ 
ing of Jamaica Bay Netting Law, having game 
protectors appointed to patrol Jamaica Bay and 
adjacent waters. They have had many violators 
of the game laws prosecuted and convicted. 
Through their insistance the Conservation Com¬ 
mission has planted in the waters around Greater 
New York sea bass, black fish, fluke, flounders, 
tom cod and crabs. 
They are now presenting before the New York 
State legislature five bills which will have the 
support of every fisherman. One of these makes 
it is a misdemeanor to catch striped bass in New 
York State during the spawning season whether 
■by rod or net. Another part of this bill seeks 
to prevent net fishing for striped bass in the 
Hudson River at all times. If this bill passes it 
will only be a very few years until the Hudson 
will teem again with striped bass and shad as 
of yore. 
At the coming Sportsman and Travel Show at 
Grand Central Palace, February 20 to 27. The 
United Anglers League will have a booth in con¬ 
junction with The Midland Beach Fishing Club 
and The Golf Casting Club of America. The new 
game, Casting Golf, will be demonstrated to all 
interested. 
Mr. Louis Rhead, the well known authority on 
fishing matters and a member of The United 
Anglers League will deliver two lectures on Fresh 
Water and Salt Water Fishing and Tackle. 
The officers of The United Anglers League are : 
Dr. Benj. M. Briggs, president, 106 Willoughby 
street, Brooklyn; Howard S. Pratt, vice-president; 
Charles Noehren, treasurer, and Gus Christman, 
secretary, 107 Bushwick avenue, Brooklyn.
