The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1895-06-14

Inc report or state Game anu FISH war
den Osborn for May indicates another un-
usually active month, surprising even that
of April. During May he or his deputies
made 6S arrests, convicted SO viOlators, col
lected fines and costs to the amount of
$692.60, and investigated from the main
Office alone, ia alleged violations. OF the
arrests made, 5 were for violation of the
game laws,63 were for violating the fish laws
and one for resisting county game war
den. A number of those arrested last
month were commercial fishermen. 1t is
evidently the intention of Game Warden
Osborn to enforce the fish and game laws
in all directions, no matter where the force
may fall. He contends that the Weather
and more influential the person, the less
excuse he has for violating the law.
