Old Fish and Game Laws.

Editor Daily Journdl:-M Many people have
supposed, myself among the rest, that the
fish and game laws were a modern produc-
ton of this State; that deer, fish and game
might formerly be taken at any time when
found, and at the sweet will OF the hunter.
L am somewhat surprised to find that as
early az 1897, March 8, only six years after
Vermont was admitted into the Union, the
Legislature passed a law making a close
time on deer, from the tenth day of Janu-
airy to the first day OF July following, and
close time for catching and taking alive any
deer, the months of February, March and
April, under penalty of ten dollars for
violatio ,; and that every person in whose
custody should be found, or who should ex-
pose for sale any green deer skin or fresh
venison during the time between the tenth
day of January and first day OF July follow
ing, unless such party could prove that the
deer was killed before the tenth day of
January, should be adjudged guilty of vio-
lating the law.
Upon demand by any person assigning q
reasonable cause OF suspicion upon oath,
the justice to be judge of the grounds of
suspicion, at any time within either of the
months before mentioned, the justice should
issue his arrant TO search in the daytime,
any house, store, Clubhouse or other place
whatever, in which venison or deer skins
were suspected to be concealed; and if such
were found the penalty was $40.
All former laws and acts concerning deer
were repealed. This act was passed March
9, 1897 and do not find, 80 late as 1908,
that it was repealed. The act is contained
in Chapter LXI, compilation OF 1903.
In Chapter LXII, / find that any person
who erected any dam, hedge, weir, seine,
fish garth or other stoppage, whereby the
passage OF fish may be obstructed, save only
for the purpose of working some machine
useful to the public. shall be guilty of a
nuisance and the same may be sbsted by
the offender be liable to penalty of SIS
in any lake, pond, or creek in { is State
between the Goth day of September and the
goth day of December annually, under a
penalty not exceeding So, and for killing
any muskrat within the months June, July,
August, September or October the penalty
was 81. This act was passed March 3,
1897, and repealed the 9th day of Novem-
Der, 1901 Chapter LXIII, loom ilation 1908.
For killing grown wolf or panther the
bounty was $40. For the sucking whelp of
wolf or panther, SO Passed March g.,
1887.
The big game had all vanished from the
State twenty five to thirty years later, and
was practically unknown until twenty
years ago or less. There was a period of from
forty to fifty years during this century that
they were gone but now they seem to be
returning. and il hunters do not turn loose
the savage rifle upon them they will con
time to increase, although deer will never
be as plenty here as,in Maine or New York
on account OF the vast tracts OF wood land
! in these States. CARLOS l.. SMITH

FRANK ii. ATHERTON.

Frank II. Atherton died of Bright's dis.
ease at his home in Waterbury this morn.
ing Tidings of Mr.. Atherton's death will
be received with keen regrets by his con-
temporaries, who remember the fearless Of
ficer whose efficiency and daring made him
this most noted sheriff Washington county
has had in recent years.
Mr.. Atherton was born in Duxbury, the
son OF Newton Anterior. AS a young man
he indicated capacity for affairs requiring
clear head and resolute spirit He was
for many years deputy sheriff of Wash
ington county. His efficiency as an officer,
where accuracy and certainty in the per-
Torrance OF duty and where a difficult
piece OF detective work were required
marked him for promotion, and in 1884 he
was nominated TO the chief office.
He was the only man who could be found
who dared to face the violators OF the fish
laws on Lake Champlain and who was able
to meet and subdue them. He was the
hero OF several daring arrests OF criminals,
showing keen scent on the trail, q skill in
planning and a resolution In making cap
lures that won him high commentator
and honor. He was faithful to duty and a
duty conhded to him was faithfully OBJ
served. His signal efficiency az sheriff So
cured him the distinction OF repeated and
unusual reflections, receiving the last In
1888.
After his retirement from the ONCE OF
sheriff he was engaged as a com mercial
traveller till the malsdy that had laid hold
of him compelled him TO retire from active
labors. He has been great sufferer. Frank
III. Anterior will be long and favorably re
membered In the county OF Washington.
