REPORT OF FIRST DISTRICT WARDEN. 
To the Game and Fish Commission: 
The First District comprises ten counties, and is patroled by ten 
deputy game and fish wardens with territories and headquarters as- 
signed as follows:

As provided for in the law, each deputy warden must devote his 
entire time to the department, reporting daily to the district warden, 
the territory covered and the nature and amount of work performed. 
During the hunting season the deputy wardens patrol their entire 
territories, but spend a greater part of their time in the places most 
frequented by hunters and where game abounds. The streams and 
lakes within this district occupy the time and attention of the deputies 
during the fishing season. Chicago being the big receiving point for 
commercial shipments of fish and game from all parts of the country, 
two deputies devote their entire time to looking after the incoming 
and outgoing shipments at depots, express rooms and boat docks. © 
Contraband shipments, on being detected, are seized in the name of 
the State and sent to the State and charitable institutions around 
Chicago. By persistently confiscating such shipments, the department 
has greatly reduced the amount of illegal game and fish getting on the 
market. : 
Since the primary object of this department is to conserve the 
fish and game of the State, the deputy wardens have been instructed 
that arrests and convictions are desired only when necessary for the 
better enforcement of the law. That the people of this district have 
taken kindly to this policy is: evidenced by the comparatively few 
violations and the great number of fishing and hunting licenses sold 
during the year. However, the deputies have at times detected gross 
and constant violators, and these have been made to feel that the fish. 
and game laws of the State are not to be trifled with, and a violation 
of same will meet with a speedy and just penalty, as the following 
report will show:
