lice Captain Madden and Patrolmen

account Of the capture, notified State
Game Commissioner Loveday that the
capture or killing Of an eagle is a
violation Of the statutes Of Illinois.
With the dry law he mixed q touch
Of sentiment saying;
aside from the living interest
which the eagle adds to the woods
and fields, there is a sentiment which
attaches to the bird"
The game commissioner at once en-.
listed In the cause of the eagle. The
bird OF freedom should be all that its
title implied II he could bring II
about. He rcrcad the account OF the
capture In the papers, then wrote a
reply TO the Audubon directors. Said
he:
Your favor relative to the capture
and caging OF an American eagle duly
received and : can assure you that
the matter will be thoroughly inves-
tigated and the party or parties
found guilty OF q violation Of our
statutes, will be dealt with according
