brother of Arthur Hoyt of Lawtou, had
an exciting experience a few nights since
ia the line of duty. He was sent by
Warden Chapman to Mt. Clemens to
investigate the reported violations of the
game laws in company with two other
wardens. They drove to lake st. Claire
and about $3.50 a. IN. discovered three
men drawing a seine in about two feet
of water. The wardens had the men
headed off from coming ashore, but in
order to get them had to pursue them in
| the water. For a long distance out
from shore the water is shallow MIR.
Hoyt caught his man hiding behind a
clump of weeds up to the neck in the
water. The other wardens were not so
fortunate, as it was only after a severe
struggle that their men were captured.
