Law violators Are Being Heavily
Fined in the Country.

The Fish and Game Commissioners are
highly pleased with the work of their dep
uties and the county wardens in arresting
and securing the conviction of a number
of lawbreakers recently. In MendoCno
County nearly $500 in fines has been i'm
posed for killing deer out of season While
these hunters. who are in no way sports
men, would have only a week or two to
wait for the open season on deer to come
in. they have taken the chances of arrest.
and in most cases paid dearly for their
game killing. The last punishment report
ed at the Commissioners office was the
fining of two hunters $50 each at Ukiah.
Game Warden Ornbaum arrested John
Harms of Laytcnville and Henry Mohlen-
brock of San Francisco, and found thirty
deerhides in a box belonging to the man
from this city. The Commissioners sax
that 1t is no wonder that deer are report

into the hills and commit such slaughter
