SHAMEFUL Some fourteen deer were killed
10y a hunting party in Cranky, last week. The
crust was just thick enough to sustain the hunters
but not the deer so this wanton and merciless
slaughter was made The law is explicit against
such work, and the heaviest fines should be i'm
posed. On Friday last States Attorney Gleason
went up and prosecuted twoof tile follensby boys
who were tried Monday last Two men had been
before a Justice complained Of themselves and
paid their fines. There seems to be disposition
to go back several years, in which case good
many hunters will be called TO account.
