The authorities at Harrisburg
have given orders that the state po-
lice now on patrol duty through the
state should turn in and back up the
state game wardens in the enforce
ment of the game laws. The troop
ers are scattered through twenty-five
counties and are helping to keep
down illegal hunting. Many guns
have been taken from foreigners by
the police and some arrests for hunt
ing out of season are to their credit.
The work of the state police in this
respect has been such that the game
authorities have paid them a high
compliment.
