A. G.. fourd carcasscs of IL horse and
two cows in the burn. The living cattle
were very thin. There was no grain in
tie barn, and only Il little hay of tlr.
poorest quality; the tic-urs and pens
we're very filthy. Leighton was ordered
to clean the barn, haul off the c;lrctsscs
and properly feed the animals. On Thurs
day last, five cows, four pigs and two
calves were found dead. The badly de-
composed body of one COW had been part =
ly eaten by the pigs.
Leighton testified in court. Saturday.
that he had been doing the be st his means
would permit; that he intended to buy
some good hay last fall. but vas too busy.
He had also been too busy to haul off thu
car"asSeS of the animals. They died from
various causes, he said. One COW slipped
on the ice and wasn't able to get up.

dark. tell over the dead horse, struck
her back against post and broke her

which resembles cholera.

probably responsible for the condition OF
the animals.
Leighton is well educated but shiftless
and eccentric. He has a wife and six
children. The estate left him by his
father was valued at $4,000 and is now
estimated worth sJ9c0. He pleads poverty,
but when neighbors donated clothing to
his children he declined it, his excuse be-
ing that he did not wish his children t.
wear better clothes than he could afford
to buy. Last summer his moving ma
chine became broken and. feeling that he
couldn't afford to have it repaired. he al
lowed the h:,yinS season to pass without
cutting any hay.

GAME LAW ENFORCEMENT GET
TING COMMON.


A violatcr Of the state game laws is
snapped up at Rutland, another pays a
fine in Bennington and third in Chit
tenden equity is foud to have attempted
to cyade the restrictios which have been
placed on hunting and fishing. The re-.
ports Of the trial Of such persons are
becoming more common every week.
This is not due to there being more
violations now that for several years
past but because Of the fact that more
attention i being paid to violations.
Where eyasions would be winked at be.
fore they are now not allowed to pass
without challenge. Throughout the en-
tire state there appears to be developing
a healthy respect for the laws which
forbid the shooting Of deer out of sea-
son, the catching Of trout except in the
time allowed, the taking Of fish less
than the required length, etc. just at
the present time most Of the cases have
to do with catching short trout and
killing deer. In Bennington county par
ticularly there has been a great stir
over the Illegal taking of trout, and
various men have paid heavy fines for
violation. And it is noticeable that
there is no discrimination in persons.
All being treated alike. This re-awak-
ened interest and enthusiasm in the en-
forcement of the laws is undoubtedly
due to State Commissioner Thomas who
has urged upon game wardens in the
various localities the necessity for CON
sistent and prompt action whenever in
fractions Of the law are reported to
them, and recommending close vigilance.
The game and fish laws of the state
are generally considered to be well franz
Cd, and were they not proper they would
scarcely remain on the statute books.
And so, being satisfactory, there is ev.
ery reason why they should be enforced.
the greatest trouble seems
10 be the running Of deer by dogs.
Every effort Is being made to put q |
top to the practice, and the owners Of
logs are warned that the animals win
e killed whenever caught. While 9TH
4 sections Of the state are enforcing
he laws we cannot derelict here.
