AFTER SUNDAY GUNNERS
Men Who Slaughter Birds on Sunday
Must Pay

Fierce warfare is being waged against
Sunday gunners by the Game Protective
Association which declares that it will
break up the slaughter Of the birds on the
Sabbath. Lately the local marshes have
resounded with the crack Of the fowlins
piece on that day and the birds that have
been successful in evading the deadly
shot during the week have to continue
their struggle without even an interim TO
feed. Several arrests OF Sunday gunners
have been made and unless the practice is
stopped there will be other arrests.
The fine for cunning on Sunday is SO
and all persons willing to pay the price
can have the pleasure.
