Reports from different sections of South
Jersey, including the lower part of Cam
den county, state that gunners frequent
the woods with their dogs on Sundays, and
kill game on that day. The West Jersey
Game Protective Society has taken every
possible precaution to prevent cunning on
the Sabbath, and the officials are deter
mined to prosecute the offenders wherever
they can secure evidence sufficient to war
rant the arrest of the suspected parties.
The society has one special detective en-
ployed ali the time, but the district in the
jurisdiction of the society is so large that
it is impossible to pay proper attention to
all the counties. The general beliefs that
the ~violators of the game avs are mostly
residents of the localities in which the
violations occur.
