The increase of deer killed in 1903 over
1902 is more than 81 per cent, to say
nothing about the illegal slaughter of
doe. There seems to be a much larger
increase OF deer killed during the present
season in some counties than others,
which is easily accounted for. Counties
showing the largest increase is from the
tact that many hunters from adjoining
states have made their camping grounds
IN Windsor, Windham, Orleans and Add
son. For many years Essex county vas
supposed to be one of our best counties
for sportsmen, but the fact this county
apparently by illegal methods pertain
ing to the fish and game laws of our
state, her ratio has decreased. 1t was
was reported to me by those who respect
the lawn Essex county that open season
continues throughout the year. There
are reported hunters from other states:
New York, 4; Massachusetts. -; New
Hampshire, 6; Rhode Island, 2; Canada. 1,
that were all successful in killing deer
and taking them out OF the state. There
were also reported from New York state
70 who were not successful, from Mas
sachusetts, and 33 from New Hampshire.
No doubt some OF these parties captured
deer and they were taken from the state
without being reported to the coumis-
sioners. 1t is very evident to your COM
missioner that this increase in slaughter
OF deer or even the same ratio kept up,
will soon depete the stock. Every day
reports come to my office that wounded
deer are discovered which means a large,

John Mitchell dominated the recent
gathering of the American Federation at
Boston and it was fortunate Tor the
future prosperity of this great labor or
ganization that so conservative friend
OF labor and clear headed leader could
control the convention. An earnest de-
bate arose over the adoption of socialis-

merits of trades unions and socialism,

Contempt of the Game Laws.

That nearly 100 does should be killed
in Vermont in ten days shows a
contempt of law that is quite disheart-
ening. As Commissioner Thomas points
out in his letter, elsewhere printed, there
is too much sentiment and too little
respect for law. The citizens of Essex
county are the most fragrant offenders
and it is no secret that deer are killed
there every month in the year and
convictions cannot be secured owing to
the disagreement of juries. Last year
we heard a great deal about public
sentiment and the local option law, and
it is matter of state pride that our
citizens are working for an enforcement
of the new law, whether in a license or
nolicense community. There should be
the same zeal to have our game laws
enforced from the moral standpoint, to
say nothing of the fact that a lax
enforcement will soon result in killing
about all the deer in the state.

STRONG OLD ACE
AN 0CT0GENARIAN WHO USES DIR.
WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
Mr.. Kindred Says They Cured His
Rheumatism and That They Give
Him Strength.

When old people are stricken with
disease every practitioner knows how
greatly the chances of successful treat
ment are diminished by the natural de-
bllity due to advanced age. This fact
gives vital importance to the case of Mr..
Amos Kindred, of No. 80 Jacques ave-
nue., Worcester, Mass. who in his eighty
fourth year is. enjoying good health and
attributes it largely to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. Not only
does he use them as tonic, purpose
for which they have no equal, but he
was cured by them of an acute disease,
as related i'll the following interview.
Mr. Kindred says:
"Some time ago was a sufferer from
inflammatory rheumatism. 1t was in
my hands, legs and back, and my flesh
was very sensitive. My hands were
badly swollen, but my back troubled me
most and sometimes was so bad that I
could hardly get about. Once when
stopped over to pick up something,
found l could not straighten up. For
two weeks after that | could not stand
up straight. 1t was terrible affection
and neither doctors nor any medicines
tried gave me any relief. kept getting
worse and my back grew so bad that
could not even turn over in bed without
help.
"Then I tried DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. They fitted my
case exactly and cured me. I have had
no return of the rheumatism since then.
l still take the pills occasionally, for
person OF my age requires tonic now
and then, and | find that nothing gives
me the strength that they do
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have double
action, Oh the blood and on the nerves,
and have cured long standing cases of
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St.
Vltns dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheu-
matlsm, nervous headache, the after
enects OF the grip, palpitation OF the
Leart pale and sallow compilations and
all forms OF weakness either in male
or female.

gangs of Irishmen which eliminated in
the murder of Michael Kelley, one of the
foremen. Justly dreading a repetition oil
those scenes there was great alarm at
Wells River, and it was determined to
put an end to the tumult by the power
OF the law. But before step could be
taken in the direction of law and order it
was discovered that no man within ten
miles had authority to read the riot act.
The commissions of justices of the
peace expired by law on the first of
December in each year, and it CHANGED
that none Of those who had been elected
to that office in the town of Newbury
had taken out commissions, so there
was. legally, no justice OF the peace in
| that town. The first constable, whose
term of office did not expire till the first
OF the following April, was the only man
IN town who could order the dispersion
OF an unlawful assembly.
That official, in the first week in
December, 1852, was Andrew Renfrew,
an upright and fearless man, who lived
in the southwest part of Newbury, eleven
miles, at least, from the secene OF dis
order, and to him messenger was sent
who called him out of his bed at mid
night to go to the relief of the distressed
people of Wells River, Arriving there he
found a throng of angry men many of
whom were fighting drunk and whiskey

parties had captured Elijah Clough, now
an old man ON the Bradford town farm.

other party and his friends were irving
to rescue him. Clubs and other weapons
were freely used; the mob was every
moment becoming more excited and
angry and Mr.. Renhew lost no time in |
procaiming the majesty of the law. A |
few arrests were made and the mob |
dispersed. The dump was

Statistics OF Deer Killed,
Commissioner Thomas Maks some
Pertinent Suggestions ON the WhoIe-
sale Slaughter and the Illegal
Killing of Does

sale Slaughter and the Illegal
killing of Does.
EDITOR CALIFORNIAN:
The disposition of a great majority OF
our would be good and law-abiding citi-
zens and many wardens is to shield ones
fellowman who persistently violates the
hsh and game laws, instead of entering a
complaint or reporting violators to the
commissioners. In ninty nine cases out
OF a hundred he would rather screen a
petty offender from punishment richly
deserved than be personally instruments
al IN his apprehension, which is not noble
even in sentimental theory. AS to COM
mon, horse-sense, actual practice, the
offender is encouraged and emboldened
by his escape and becomes audacious in
his subsequent malefactions, and the
woud-be benefactor has accessorily lent
himself to the perpetuation of crime,
Why is it that nearly all reports of vio-
lation OF the fish and game laws come
with reluctance, and hedged about with
conditions, which defeats its purpose
and renders theintent valueless7 think
the great majority of us have been guilty
OF this foolishness some time or other
and the fact is no credit to rs If is
every mans duty, and more especially
wardens and all mem bers of the Fish and
Game League, to aid in the compulsory
observance and enforcement of our fish
and game laws. The personality of the
offenders should not be considered. From
day to day am in receipt of anonymous
communications making vague state
ments, or if they sign their name make
the request that it not be mentioned for
fear OF hard feelings, but would like to
see the law enforced. Quite number
have written me Mr.. So and So shot a
doe accidentally; he is poor man with
large family, works hard, and the peo.
pie say he is honest.
SAN AieS PiuSS, tuClG is uO accident
about it. A sportsman is supposed to
know what he is shooting at, and he has
no right to shoot al deer unless be can
distinctly see his horns. In the second
place, man that shoots deer without
horns, or horns not visible, even il it is a
Duck deer, is not an honest sportsman
and should be prosecuted under the law.
There has been reported to me during
the ten days of open season 81 doe
illegally killed, and in nearly all cases no
clue to the perpetrators. have follow
ed up every case, and am still at it, where
could get any substantial evidence; but
many more could be apprehended if it
wasn't tor the noble sentiment of shield.
ing friend or neighbor who has sent
you nice large piece OF doe venison for
the sole purpose of your silence. To he
conservative | do not think one.half ot
the number of doe illegally killed have
been reported.
Through the courtesy and co. operation
OF post-masters and wardens, for which
extend many thanks, | am able to
report very accurately the number OF
oeer Killed during the last ten DAYS of
October; | also append the number killed
last year to show the comparison.
