State Will License Hunters.

The officials of the State game com
mission are giving much attention to
the proposed law for the licensing of
all gunncrs aud it is TO be presented
at the coming session Of the legislat-
ure, requiring every gunner to take
out license, costing a nominal sum,
say one dollar. There Will be obiec-
tion 20 such "A measure on the ground
that it Will put the citizens owning
gun too much under the restriction
Of the law. but its advocates argue
that by requiring each one to have a
license, giving his name and descrip-
tion Of his personal appearance, which
must be shown upon demand of "a ward
on or property owner on whose land
the hunter may be, it will do away
with irresponsible hunters and boys,
who are a nuisance and detriment to
game, as in many instances they do
not carry away what they kill and dis
regard laws The owners of the land
and farmers will also have to take out
license, but this will be a benefit to
them, as farmers are the most ardent
supporters Of the law licensing all
hunters.

SIGNS CONTRACT
With WITCH

Having lost nine head of valuable
cattle within the past year and believ-
ing that certain neighbor, who has
been accused of being a witch, was eX-
ercising her supposed evil influence
over him and his property, William
Gottshall, a we'll known Mahanoy Val
| ley farmer, has signed a contract with
the woman whereby he agrees to pay
her certain sum of money in turn
for which she consents not to cause
injury TO him or his for a term of one
year.
Every now and then, during the past
eleven months Gottshall, who is the
owner of one of the finest farms in the
Mahanoys and who is noted for being
one of the ablest and most careful
farmers in this section of the State
has been losing his live stock. The
animals were found deaf in their stalls
or died while in the fields The deaths
did not save the past few, occur reg
ularIy. Now a COW would succumb,
several weeks later a pig would drop
off Then a horse died. Try as he
would Mr.. Gottshall was unable to
fathom the mystery.
About four weeks ago deaths among
the live stock became frequent and
within two weeks two mules, calf
and a COW died. According to the
story told when one of the dead amin
ais was burned there was great noise
in nearby woods as of a rushing of Il
herd of horses.
dissatisfied with ordinary investiga-
tions Mr.. Gottshall went to a neighbOr
who stated that he believed that one
of the five or six witches, whc are be-
lieved by some residents of the valley
to inhabit the beautiful stretch of
farm land, was exercising her evil in
fiuence upon Mr. Gottshall and was
causing the death of his stock.
Accordingly, determined to do all in
his power to prevent any further loss,
the farmer went to one of the witches
and after a lengthy conversation with
her finally came TO the agreement
reached above, namely, that for GER
tain sum of money which he would
pay to her if she would agree not to
allow harm to come to Mr. Gottshall's 5
stock for period of one year com
menciug from the time the contract
was signed and the money paid.
This was about two weeks ago and
since that time nothing has happened
ON the Gottshall farm, the live stock
seemingly i'll especially good health
The neighbors are watching with in
terest the outcome of the agreement.
Some believe in the power OF the
witches while others only smile when
questioned and state that there is some
other cause for Mr.. GOttshall's past
misfortuues and that time will bear
out their statements. One thing is GER
tain the contract has been signed.

Plenty of Game.

"There will be more game this year
in Pennsylvania than has been seen in
the State for many years, said State
Game Secretary Kalbfus Monday at
his department . | am getting splendid
accounts from my correspondents all
over the State From every section
come good, of the vast quaint
titles of game this year.
"This is so with pheasants, wild
turkeys, deer. quail, gray squirrels and
rabbits There will be more deer kill
ed than for many a year. As for quail
| have the best kind of reports, es-
pecially concerning the quail we got
from Alabama Tor breeding purposes.
Some of them have been seen leading
fiocks of twenty-one, which is propa
eating some.
"The reports concerning deer are
very encouraging, but there are also
reports that some are being killed out
of season. Well get the people who
do that and teach them a lesson. aC-
count for the increase in the amount of
game to the fact that there have been
few forest fires this year, owing to
the increased vigi ance of the fOres
wardens, who are also game wardens,
and the work of the people generally
who are taking an interest in the game
question and are on the watch to pro-
tect game out of season, the laws re-
garding the amount of game one man
can kill during a season are observed.
"The day of the pot hunter is gone
in this State, and the men who kill
game to slip it outside for sale have
about been eliminated. The true
sportsman is coming into his own and
he is taking mighty good care that he
observes the law and compels others TO
observe IT, -
