From information given out at the
Office of the Commission of Inland
Fisheries and Game yesterday it is
learned that Warden Austin whose
| territory is away up on the northern
border of Maine, at Fort Kent. has
been doing things within the past few
days, and has made a lot of trouble for
several Of the violators of the State
game laws.
| Warden Austin had one Fabian
Rossignol of st. Agatha in custody for
illegal fishing and had to keep him
over night at a hotel. The warden
speaks and understands the French
language as well as he does English.
which proved of some value to him on
that occasion, as it Oftentimes had be-
fore, for while at the hotel he over
heard a conversation between two men,
who were speaking in the French
language, and from what they said he
concluded that some parties from New
Brunswick were in Maine after moose
along the St Francis river.
OF course he could not leave his
prisoner, but he was able to act and he
did act quickly and intelligently, and
securing a truSty messenger he dis
patched him in the night to find
Warden Major Lowe at st. Francis,
with instructions to the warden to
take a good man and start at once so
as to be on the ground soon as
possible, and be on the watch for the
New Brunswick pOachers
Warden Lowe lost no time in taking
the warpath and the result was most
satisfactory. as he captured two New
Brunsw ickiteS red-handed and with
the goods in their possession. The
men were Joseph Canada and Alexis
Oaks of St. Francis, n. B., and they
had killed one moose and two deer.
The prisoners were taken to Houlton,
where they were tried Tuesday, March
"A, before Trial Justice s. 5. Thorn
ton Both We're convicted of killing
one moose and two deer. and being I'M
able to pay their fines and costs were
committed to Houlton Jail for five
months each This is one of the most
important round-ups that the wardens
have made for long time.

gagged in the work which is being done
with Il view to annihilating the gypsy

l,tiye TO the work In speaking of the
nrogress of the crusade Capt. Phil
brook said that the men were now
working in Portland, Biddeford,
Kennebunk, Wells. York. Kittery and
Eliot, and that the greater part OIL
the work at present consisted of clean
ing the trees in districts where the egg
clusters had been found, plugging up
the holes and covering them with tin
to preyent the caterpillars from get
ting into them and hiding. The latest
infestation of gypsy egg clusters found
was on the o. p Remicll place in
Kittery Foreside, where 20 egg clusters
we're discovered few days ago. The
total number of egg clusters found by
tho men this year is about 5000, and
tha+ of last wear was 61O3. The num-
her of brown-tail nests found this year
shows a decided falling off from that
of 1907. and the work of hunting out
and DESTROYING them is being well
carried on by the towns where infesta-
! .ions have been found. The work OF
hur,a pping the trees in the infested
s;s,r;cts will be commenced about the
first of April.
