His excell nej's particular attention will be called to the slaughter of ducks and geese that is now being be-ing carried on after nightfall. The present laws rovide that no ducks, geese or other water fowl shall be killed more than one hour before sunrise or one hour after sunset; sun-set; but that statute is set at defiance almost al-most every day and the game commissioners are powerless to stop It or to bring the offenders offen-ders to an account. |
