For spearing big brown trout in |
the Battcnkill river Saturday l.. c.
Reed of this village was fined s25 with
81. % costs in Municipal court in Ben
nington Monday afternoon. The
fish was "a inches long and weighed
between eight and nine pounds. Reed
made no secret of his act. and said
that he had killed the big fish because
it was eating the small brook trout.
He was advised to prefer a charge
against himself for violating the law
and Saturday night called up county
game Warden Chase and related the
circumstances. The warden came TO
this village, investigated the case and
