.SPORTSMEN ARE
MAKING COMPLAINTS
Claim That Much Game Is
Being Carried Out of the
State

Sportsmen and gunners OF Delaware
are aroused at what they allege to be
fragrant violations of the game laws of
the State by gunners Of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey.
According to the allegations made
much game is being carried out of the
State surreptitiously in direct and <al-
most open violation of the statutes COW
ering such acts. Gunners, they say. go
down into the lower part of the State,
shoot or buy a quantity of rabbits or
birds and carry them off under guise
of other articles. Their chief method
of operation is to stow their game in
grips. dress suit cases or other recep-
tacles, drive as far as Delaware City,
board trolley cars for Wilmington and
proceed either by boat or trolley cars to
Philadelphia. In order to avoid suspi-
cion if party of gunners from Penn
sylvania go hunting in Delaware they
are divided into two parties on their
return. One part of the hunters with
guns and dogs board the trains going
north empty handed and return to their
homes. The others carrying the game
concealed as above described take the
trolley lines and pass on to Philadelphia
unmolested and unsuspected. 1t is said
that this practice has been going on
since the game season opened.

Christmas that they may be able to fat
ten them up and obtain higher prices for
