made complaint against his own SON

who is here as his guest, for violating
the game laws. Mr. Newbury came
here to enjoy a quail hunt, and went
out with his fatherin-law to the Leroy
game preserve. of which association
Mr.. Nichols is a member. While hunt
ing Newbury's dog raised, he suppos.
ed, a covey of partridges. They were
some distance off and Mr. Newbury
fired and shot one of them. When his
hunting dog brought the bird to him,
he discovered that it was a Mongolian
pheasant, a flock of which had been
liberated on the preserve one year ago.
The Michigan law protects the pleas
ant for a term of years, and as Mr..
Newbury believes in living up TO the
laws. he concluded to have himself
fined, and accordingly had his father.
in-law make a complaint against him
before Justice Bidwell, who entered
his complaint. but did not let him off
with a light fine, making it S14.25, a
