THE GAME Law.
give US a cal

According to the game law, if you
negligently kill any human being or
live stock you are liable to a fine of
$1,000 and Jail sentence. In adj
dition thereto, the case of the live
stock, you must pay the value of your
prey. Inasmuch as nothing is said
about paying for the value of the hu-
man being, it is apparent that it IS
more economical to kill that kind of
game than the four-footed variety.
Just why the regular statues against
murder and manslaughter are not
made to apply against hunters IS one
of those mysteries or idiOsyncrasies
which are 50 abundant in the new
game law.

although he had partaken heartily of
the preceding dinner he did not mince
words, but accused Mayor Taylor of
dual dealing and criticised the appoint

lections made by the mayor. who did
not regard the welfare Of the city
The strongest criticism was directed
at McGiivray. Renner and Others de-
elaring that p Broderiek. the ;,resent
superintendent of streets. should have
been appointed in accordance with a
demand made for his appointment by g
dozen or more civic clubs. Renner de-
clared that the mayor offered an ex-
cuse that Broderick was a republican
and he could not appoint two men of
the same political party on the board.
but this excuse did not appear plausible
to Renner, who stated that Egan and
Casey. members Of the board. were. both

pointees.
