HEAVY FINE FoR SELLING BIRDS

Arrested with $50 partridees in bis
possession, which, ii is alleged, be was
taking to Wilmington, to dispose Of,
George W. Wiley Of Laurel was fined, $50
and costs Monday afternoon, and the
birds coniscated and distributed among
the different hospitals Of the city.
Ihe arrest was made Monday morning
by Walter Witsil, OF Witsils Detective
Bureau. at the instigation of the Delaware
Game Protective Association. Wiley has
been suspected OF selling partridges since
the season opened, and Monday morning
shortly after 4 O'Clock as he aliehted from
the Norfolk express with a big basket
containing the birds, he was approached
by the detective. The trial vas held
Monday afternoon before Magistrate Bro
man, when the fine was imposed.
The fine and costs were paid to Constable
Thomas II. Buckley, and the prisoner
was released.
As result of the arrest, there was
toothsome breakfasts in many institutions
OF Wilmington Tuesday morning. The
partridges were distributed among the
Delaware and Homeopathic Hospitals,
the Home of Merciful Rest, Home for
Aged Women, Minquadale Home, Little
Sisters of the Poor, St. Peters Female
Orphanage and the private hospital OF
Mrs. R. A. Walters, No. 2ll West street.
Wiley would not trust himself to ship
the birds and took them himself. The
basket lie carried held at least busheI,
and with its burden of $50 partridges was
about all man could manage.
The game association is making every
effort to discourage the sale of partridges
and rabbits in the state, and make theiy
hunting means of sport and rot mer-
camille gain.

DOG CHAINED TO HIM

Stephen Ii. Downs, of loves Cross
Roads, Sussex county, was admitted to
the Delaware State Hospital Saturday,
He left behind him in Georgetown, much
to his disappointment, bis pet dog which
he had chained to him when taken into
custody.
For weeks Mr. Downs was a terror in
the neighborhood. roaming. through the
woods and firing guns. and reyolvers all
hours of The night, and stopping at a
distance any person who made an ad-
vance in his direction. His only friend,
he seemed to think, was his dog, and
when placed in cell at Georgetown he
insisted ON keeping the animal with him.
The dog had q rope around its neck, and
fearing that it might be taken from him..
Downs kept the other end of the rope
lied around bis waist. That way they
sat in the cell by day and that way they
slept at night, the. dog lowering as close
to his master as he could get, and the
master, with chiId.Iike simplicity, re-
warded the affection with constant ca
resses.
But when the trip to Farnhurst was
started Saturday morning the dog was
taken by Mr.. Downs brother. Upon ar
riying at the hospital Mr.. Downs asked
for his dog and was told that dogs were
not admitted there. This explanation Of
Ehe Whereabouts Of the animal seemed to
satisfy him.
