PAYING BOUNTY
DISCONTINUED

IN accordance with the recent decis-
ion of the Supreme court the Board Of
County Commissioners at their meet
ing Saturday decided to discontinue
the practice of paying bounty for the
pelts of foxes, minks, etc.
The sum allowed for each pelt pro
duced was one dollar and the time was
when the money paid out by the com
missiouers in this way each year
amounted TO a considerable item in
the expense account OF the county.
Among the animals paid for IN addi-
ton to foxes and minks were hawks,
skunks, lynx, and other destructive
animals 1t is probably less than ten
years ago that the bounty was remov-
ed from hawks and skunks. Since
then the warfare carried on against
such animals speaking for our own
county has not been very aggressive
one During last year but two pelts
were paid for in the County COmmIs-
sioners' office here As matter of
fact the destruction of obnoxious an
imals never was carried on to as great
an extent here as in some counties,
where men fond of an easy living, i'm
whom the trapping instinct was de-
veloped often drove a paying business,
receiving not only the dollar bounty
but the proceeds for the fur in the
case Of every animal caught.
OF course there was temptation to
commit fraud aud a former County
Commissioner of Montour is authority
for the following statement. Among
the individuals who realized hand
somely every year on the number of
pelts he brought in was one who was
famous for the number of skunks he
killed. Things went on until either
by accident or as the result of an in
vestigation it was discovered that he
had a fine breeding ground and was
giving a good deal of care and atteu-
tion to the raising of skunks.

Huntsville, Ala. Attorneys for all

the grand juries of the Sixteenth
Circuit court have reached an agree
ment to make a test case Of that of
Boss Stovall, charged with shooting
and attempting to murder Marshal
Tisdale,. at Gurley. The case of Sto-
vail will be taken to the Supreme
Court fer a decision on the question
of whether the Indictment upon which
he is now held is legal. Judge d. w.
Speake has rendered a decision that
the indictments returned by the grand
juries Of the Sixteenth Circuit court
are illegal, from the fact that Judge
Paul Speake had no power to impanel
grand juries.
