There is a movement on foot In West

appointed for that section of the State
by the State authorities and such an
official may be secured In the near
future. A number of the leading sports
men OF that place and the surrounding
ment. Ii is claimed by the sportsmen
that o warden il badly needed there to
investigate alleged cases of lawless kill
ing OF game. They say there is more
illegal work than is imagined by the
majority OF people. A large amount Of
game IS killed on Sundays during the
hunting season, and at the present time
men have boon found tracking rabbits,
afterwards digging them out OF the holes
in which they seek refuge.
