■ 1 1 ; ■ ii ill• Biwabik Times: The opinion ofAttorney General Smith that the sportsmen of the range cannot collect the rewards for game law convictions has stirred up a hornet's nest that promises to have far-reaching effects. A number of real sportsmen got together after Game Warden G. E. Wood was discharged and hired him to seek out game law violators. Wood was highly succesful. After a period the sportsmen sent to the game and fish commission a bill for what they considered themselves entitled under the law. Then it was that the attorney general came forward and held that the sum could not be legally, paid. This business of having laws made over by legal gentlemen is getting tiresome. The legislature plainly intended that a reward should be paid in all such cases of game law convictions, and so enacted,- but the attorney general finds that the reward clause is not legal, constitutional, or some other olddpfppt.
