Hon. Joseph Battell Will Not AL
low Buck Deer Shot ON
His Lands.
THREATENS PROSECUTION
Many Hunting Parties Leave Not OAR
Ing to Question the Owners Au-
thOrity-BeIievcd MIR. Battcll
Intends to Test the Law
Other Vermont News.

Vergennes, Oct. 27--J. T. Preston, fish
and game warden, who has just returned
from Ripton, where he has been camping
on the land of the Hon. Joseph Battell
for tho past few days, gave the Free
Press reporter the following facts of the
recent action of MT Battell in regard to
refusing hunters the right of shooting
buck deer on his land, which covers a
large portion of the town of Ripton and
extends into the neighboring town of Han
cock, only a small portion of which is
enclosed. The story OF the occurrence as
given by Mr.. Preston to the reporter Is
as follows:
On the afternoon of the arrival Of Mr..
Preston at the spot which he had selected
Tor his camp he noticed men putting up
posters warning against hunting, fishing
or trespassing on the grounds. In the
evening two mon, both of whom were
foremen in Mr.. Battels employ. came to
Mr.. Prsstons camp and notified him
that he must not kill buck deer on Mr.
Battell's land. After some conversation
with the men Mr.. Preston called their
attention to the portion of the law rela ting
to the killing of buck deer during the
last ten days Of October and they replied
that there must not be any killed on Mr..
BattolTs land and II 1t was found out that
any person had done Sc that person would
be summarily dealt with by their en-
ployer.
Besides Mr.. Preston there were several
differsat parties. who had come there
from other parts OF the State to enjoy
the ten days allowed for shooting deer
ana the same notice was served at all
the camps that could be located many
OF whom Mr.. Preston says broke camp
and returned to their homo very much
disappointed.
Mr.. Preston said that he believes this
action Of Mr.. Battell is prompted by
desire on his part to make a test case Of
whether a man has the right to kill a
buck deer on his neighbor's land against
his wishes.
