No Honor Am ng Thieves.
The arrest of Capt. Willard Mitchell of
the schooner Monticello, charged with
felonious larceny of 1890 pounds of veni-
son valued at 1910 the other day, is one
which those wishing better enforcement
of our game laws will probably make use
of in their arguments for proposed legis-
lation. The arrest of the captain of the
schooner came about because he disre-
gar6led the old adage that there is honor
among thieves. The captain and mate
knowing that the 30 deer consigned TO
Roston parties were taken and shipped
contrary to law decided that the sec
ond thief would be best fellow. The
cargo was taken on at Anderson
Point. Washington county, Nc, consign-
cd to Boston. The captain concluded
that IL he sold the venison ana
pocketed the money the poachers
wouldn't dare to complain. No doubt
this would have been the case had they
sold the meat in Boston, to which port 1t
was consigned But they put 1hto
Gloucester and sold portion OF the cargo
that was consigned to Boston; ana 'his
being contrary to United States laws they
have pot themselves into trouble. 1t Is
said that the cargo was shipped by Geo.
W. Buchanan, VIM f. Bailey and Byron
T.. Tibbetts Of Anderson point, and Har-
lev Wooster of Columbia Falls. AT this
writing It is understood that the fish ana
game commissioners will have these men
arrested. But the 80 deer have been
killed, it is argued, and with the present
Insufficient money and incompetent, II no
worse, wardens it is impossible TO pre-
vent this illegal killing of our big game
