". ]. BRYAN ARRESTED
Former Presidential Candi-
date Charged With
Law Breaking.

Galveston, Texas, Dec. civilian
Jennings Bryan and his party are
charged today with having exceeded the
limit Of the law in killing mallard and
canvass back ducks at Lake Surprise.
The law permits no one hunter to kill
more than twenty-five ducks in one
day, and these he can neither sell nor
ship.
Lake Surprise is the game preserve
of Banker Moody and is located in
Chambers county. 1t Is accessible only
by water, and part of the route is
through the private channel owned by
Colonel Moody.
The game warden of Chambers coun
ty had been informed that the Bryan
party of four hunters were slaughter
ing the ducks. Gaining access to the
preserve, he counted the dead ducks
and found 145, an average of thirty
eight, or thirteen above the limit. 1t
is said the three other members had
been complimenting Bryan on his
Workmanship and had credited him
with half the number killed until the
officer appeared, when Colonel Moody
and his associates declared that Bryan
had killed less than twenty.
Charges were preferred against the
quartet 1t is understood three of them
will plead guilty to protect Bryan.
