A game warden by the name of John M.
Allen has been In the vicinity trying to
prosecute different parties for the violation
of game laws. He made his first appearance
here about three weeks ago and swore out
warrant against Darling Huntress for kill

while driving an OK team over the road after
a load of wood few weeks ago, had deer
jump over the wall into the road beside him

power to save 1t, soon died. Mr.. Allen swore
out warrant against HuStress before p. j.
Stanley, ESQ.,, of this place for killing the
deer. Mr.. Huntress was unable to obtain
counsel at that time as all the attorneys were
away at Paris and was. persuaded by Mr..

rant which had not been served upon him or
even in the hands of any officer of the law,

mouse upon the same day that Huntres.
caught his. When he learned that he had

loose. Last Friday at the time when the
cases had been adjourned for Judgment
Huntress and LinscOtt appeared with Chas.
I. Fox, ESQ.,, for counsel; Geo. f. Clifford,
Esq, appearing for the state. Mr.. Fox
claimed that the respondents had never been
properly arraigned before any court, and in
support Of the claim produced certified
copy OF the warrant with showed that six
Gays after the adjournment no return of any
kind had been made upon the warrant, and
he therefore argued that judgment could
not lawfully be given against the responI
dents. The court gave Judgment AGAR s.
them for $40 and costs. Huntress, though a
poor man, succeeded in raising the money
but Linscott could not, and was carried
away to Paris jail leaving wife with one
child about year old and a baby less than
two weeks old destitute and helpless being
wholly dependant upon him for daily sup.

On Tuesday of last week Game Warden
Allen took Trial Justice Stanley of this place
and carried him to Hiram where he brought
two men by the names of Lowell and Burrel
against whom warrants were issued fol
hunting deer. They plead not guilty. The
court was then adjourned until the n xt da,
to be held at this place. The men appeared
with Mr.. Fox for counsel, but Game Warden
Allen through his counsel confessed that b.
had no evidence to sustain the warrant and
moved dismassal OF the respondents with
out hearing. The only thing accomplished
was to tax bill of two days costs agains
the county.
