to the crime as charged in the indict-
ment and the court sentenced John
Young to five years in the peniten-
tiary, and VIM. Howard, John Thorn
ton and ]. O. Clark to eight years

were brought before Justice Hofel
r and very wisely plead guilty and were
fined So. 90 each and costs, amounting
D to $l75 80 piece, or SlO5. 90 in all.
l The seine found in their possession was
confiscated by the deputy Fish anG
. Game Warden and has been DESTROYED
r according to law. This ought to bt
I an important lesson to all. The fish
: and game laws should either be en-
forced or repealed. There is no sense
in appropriating considerable sun
. of money for the propagation of fist
and have them destroyed in violation
of law.
