FOR HAWKS
Game Warden Wants a
Premium on Them.

Deputy Game Warden John Tabor
of PelSin, suggests that the farmers
and hunters get up petition to the leg
islature to have premium put up for
the killing of hawks. He says they are
becoming so numerous that they SER
iously menace the existence Of not only
quail. pheasants and birds of all kinds
but the spring chicken crop as we'll.
One day last spring a flock of a score
or more hawks settled down on a farm
in Fox township and picked the bones
of two large broods of young chickens
before they were discovered and driv-
en- off. Mr.. Tabor says he has seen
them pick up and devour quail and he
believes them to be more destructive
TO these birds than the hunters gun.

however The old gentleman died IL
days later.
After the shooting, the man informed
his wife of what he had done and then
left. Going to his fathers home, he
told the people there that he had shot
Albright. The authorities were noti-
fed and 1t was not until two days
later that Reininger was found and
placed under arrest. He was brought
to Canton jail on November IA and the
charge of murder placed against him.
Shortly after he was put in Jail he
made headfirst dive off a table, with
the evident intention of killing him
self. but he threw out his hands iC
stinctively and saved himself. He haG
been morose and imagined that every
one in the jail was his enemy. Short
ly before the suicide however, he be-
gan to mingle with the other prison.
ers more and 1t was thought that ne
had given up the suicidal idea.
Mrs. Reininger had been to see him
but once since he was arrested. she
came on that occasion to get him to
Sibh away luttitol III SOuut piop-
erty. What success she met with is
not known The killing of the father
seemed to have embittered the woman
against her husband They have two
small children. The dead man was 30
years of age
After viewing the scene and taking
note of everything connected with the
suicide, Acting Coroner Bowman order
ed the body sert to the Seesholtz un-
dertaking establishment where an au-
topsy was held. Attorney Sterling, who
had been retained to defend the pris-
oner, claimed that he was insane and
that was to have been the line of de-
tense. In order to ascertain the con-
dition of the mans brain, his skull was
opened. The work of the atopsy was
done by DR.. Zinninger in the presence
of Drs. Biechele, Walker and Harry
March. 1t was found that at some time
the dead man had suffered from an at
tack of meningitis and that as a re-
suit there had been a thickening of the
membrane which caused pressure up
on the brain and breaking down of
the tissues of the gray matter. This.
coupled with the fact that several per-
sons in the family were affected mem
tally and that his grandfather had
committed suicide, was deemed pretty
conclusive evidence that Reininger
was demented. At the jail, however, it
was stated that while he was queer, he
was in some respects quite bright.
The body was sent to his fathers
home for interment on Christmas day
