to discharge firearms In the limits of tn
borough without the consent of the war
den. Nadeau lives on Furnace avenu
and has been much annoyed by his neigh
bors' hens In his garden. On the day Il
question he looked out and saw the hel
in his enclosure, and without consulting
the warden or anybody else took dow
his shot gun and blazed away. Whil
Mr.. Nadeau may be little lame on tn
statutes he shoots pretty straight, and a
a result Mrs. Thomas Whitaker, VIII
owned the promising but unfortunate pul
let, had him brought into court. 1t de
veloped In court that Mrs. Whitaker ha
kept her hens shut up since May 1st, an
the one that. went over to Mr.. Nadeau'
escaped without her knowledge. The dc
fendant pleaded guilty, and Judge Pal
kess imposed fine of 81, with costs c
prosecution.
