 Violated Game Laws.
 George Trumbley and John Dibble are two woodchoppers who have been trying to eke out a living during the winter chopping wood up in Flanders, Woodbury. They knew little or noth- ing of the wonderful laws that pro- tect the bloodthirsty rabbit and wild and ferocious squirrel family, and to put a little more flesh on their own bones by having now and then the hind quarters of a chipmonk or squirrel to eat, they innocently set a few traps. In the meantime some one "squealed'' on them and the blooG- hounds of the law dogged their every move. Result: On the anniversary of the birthday of the Father of our Country they were arrested and brought before Justice Futile. They plead guilty to having set the traps as alleged, but professed ignorance of the law They were each fined $1 and costs. The costs in the case of one was $27.40 and in the other $28.04 Both men said they hadn't a dollar and they were both committed to jail to work it out Fortunately for Trumbley a friend came forward and put up the day when his sister supplied the cash. goes to each of the game wardens.- Woodbury Reporter. c.
