RECKLESS KILLING OF GAME.

of the Game Law.

summer Duck Hunting n Violation
of the Game Law.
The professional sportsmen and the
amateur hunters who observe the game
laws have been complaining lately OF par
ties going up the river to shoot summer
ducks. They say that these would-be
hunters shoot into large hocks OF ducks
killing numbers OF them, both young and
old. and only securing a small proportion
OF the game.
This wholesale slaughter Of game, while
it is breeding will eventually annihilate
the local ducks which act as a decoy in
winter in enticing other ducks to migrate
in this section.
The game laws are plain in Georgia.
and Chatham county, and were made for
the protection of the game and the regu-
lar law-ahidlng sportsmen. The closed
season, according to law, is between April
] and oct. /. and any one caught shooting
summer ducks or having them in their
possession are liable TO a fine or imprison-
ment
The spOrtsmen say that there are sew
eral officers of the law who could readily
detect the law breakers and are willing
to bring them 10 justice If instructed to
do SO by the authorities.

STOLE MELONS BY THE LOAD.
James Smiths Way of Going Into
the Fruit Business.

James Smith, colored, is locked up at
the barracks charged with stealing fifty
watermelons.
H. z. Crittenden & Co, commission
produce dealers in the market basement,
received a carload of melons yesterday.
The car was being unloaded in the Cen
trail railroad yard on West Broad street.
The first load was carried down to the
market and the door Of the car was left
open, it not being supposed that anyone
would be bold enough to rob a car in such
a public place n open daylight
Smith, however, happened to be in that
ne!ghborhood with a wagon. He probably
saw Crittenden x Co.'S wagon drive off
and noticed the open car. He went into
the yard, drove his wagon up to the door
OF the car and took on a load of melons.
The attaches Of the yard supposed of
course, that he was employed In hauling
the melons. When the wagon belonging to
the firm returned the shortage Of melons
was noticed and a little inquiry on the
part of the driver brought out the fact
that some body else had carried off a load
The case was reported TO the police bar
racks and Smith was arrested by Detec-
tive GOdbOld.

When the statement was read, Alder
man Garrard called attention TO the fact
that while the grand totals of 80

hand apparently show that the city had
already expended more than one-half it's
yearly budget. a reference to the totals
OF departmental expenditures shows that
the difference is on the other side OF the
line. In the grand totals lis included the
interest on the bonded debt. the sinking
fund and the water works note for SIS. is3
