Two Of our young men who went hunt
ing for deer during the last open season
were given quite surprise last week,
when they were summoned to appear at
the Washington county court for killing a
doe, which is against the law. They went
up and the case against one Of them was
mol pressed, but the other young man was
held under bonds, as be admitted shooting
the doe. In fact, the peculiar thing about
il was that he informed against himself,
for as soon as he made the mistake OF
shooting doe he went to State Game Com
missioner Davis of Bethel, who reported
the case TO the Orange county court at
Chelsea, instead of the Washington
county court, hence the summons by that
court. II seems rather hard on the young
man TO have to pay costs OF the court and
a larger fine when he had done his best in
an honest manner to clear himself The
young men are Robert Hall and Elliot
Frink, two of our best young men in town,
and all are very sorry for the unfortunate
ending OF their hunting trip.
