WARDENs IN TROUBLE.
Did Not Obey Game Laws and Will
Be Observation-Disclosures of Deer
Killed.

Did Not Obey Game Laws and Will
Be rosecuted-Number of Deer
Killed.
The game wardens of the state do
not all obey the laws and as a result
several complaints have been made
to Fish and Game Commissioner J.
w. Titcomb who will see that they
are prosecuted.
In Fairlee a warden got ahead of
several hunters watching for tame
deer and shot it before sunrise Mon
day. This is a violation of the law.
In Warren it is reported that nom
resident was hunting without
license and had a resident of the
town with him. The resident shot
the deer although he had no license.
He then went into an adjoining town
and secured a license getting the
clerk to date the license as issued
the Sunday previous. Complaint
has been made to the states attorney.
In Alburg, a warden was found
shooting ducks during the season
closed by the governors proclama-
ton and he will be prosecuted.
Many people are trapping with
out licenses and as this is contrary
to law prosecutions may follow in
many instances.
The Killing of Deer.
Wardens who were on duty during
the week closed by proclamation re
port to the fish and game commits
sionerathat they saw fewer deer than
in previous seasons. The returns at
the commissioners Office received
and checked up to last evening
showed that 119 deer had been killed
and of this number II were bucks.
Reports which have come in but had
not been checked indicated that at
least IT'S had been killed. The num-
Der reported from the different
counties follows:
Addison, q; Bennington, Z; Gale
donia, IL; Chittenden, 8; Essex, q;
Franklin, 8; Lamoille, Z; Orleans, 8;

UNDER $4,000 BONDS
Mrs. Dodge Appeared in County
Court But Was Not Formally
Arraigned.

Mrs. J. Marshall Dodge of Lunen-
burg, indicted for murder in the first
degree on the charge of shooting
William H. Heath, a painter, in her
home, Sept. IT, has not been rearrest-
ed and is still at liberty. Yesterday
she appeared in Essex County court
over which Judge Zed S. Stanton is
presiding, and was not even formally
arraigned on the charge. The court
fixed her bail at $4,000 which was
furnished and she was allowed her
liberty. No definite arrangements
were made as to when her trial would
be held This is the latest chapter in
this queer case and will simply add
to the wonder of the public as to
what the intention of the state is in
this matter. Evidently the state has
evidence enough to secure her indict-
ment by the grand jury but thus far
it does not reveal it's evidence or
whether it intends to punish any one
for the murder of Heath or not.
September IT, Mr. Heath was at
work in the Dodge house in Lunen-
burg painting and papering. Mrs.
Dodge, who was the only other person
in the house, claims she heard shots
and rushing into her bedroom, where
he was at work, found him lying on
the floor with three bullet wounds in
his body. The autopsy disclosed the
fact that he was shot in the back, a
wound which could not have possibly
been self-inf1icted The revolver be-
longed to Mrs. Dodge and this was
found beside the body.
Judge Zed S. Stanton, of Roxbury,
is presiding. Owing to the unavoid-
able absence of one of the attorneys
interested in many of the jury cases
none will be tried at this term of
court. The civil docket is also small
and many of these cases have been
continued or settled.
The criminal docket was quickly
cleared. William Smith, who was
tried for assault at the last term of
court and further held on disagree
ment of jury, entered plea of guilty
and was sentenced to three and
half months of hard labor in the
county jail The case of state VS..
Bert Davis was mol pressed and the
two remaining cases on the docket
were discontinued.

general idea has obtained that Russia IS

Samuel Pepys was an interesting figure
in the latter part Of the seventeenth cen
fury. We in America know him chiefly
as the well-known English diarist. Aside
from this literary classic, he was most
successful in his work in connection with
the British navy and as a collector Of odd
and rare documents. which came TO be
known as the Pepysian Library, which
he beuueathed 70 Magdalene College
Cambridge. his alma mater.
Samuel Pepys died on May g, l'V3 at
the age Of seventy. His Diary was
deciphered by the Rev. J. Smith from the
original shorthand manuscript in the
Pepysian Library, and was first published
in a mutilated form under the editorial
care of Lord Braybrooke IN ISL Ihls
Diary was begun on January J. 1860,
and was continued for about nine years.

No Sunday Concerts.

It is the occasion Of regret that in the
arrangements which have been made for
the public concerts this summer, begin
ming next week and continuing until
the LIST OF October. it has not been pos
sible to provide regular Sunday after
noon concerts at some convenient and
attractive place in Rock Creek Park.
The schedule Of these concerts as ar
ranged by the army engineer who is
h charge Of public buildings and
grounds, Col Spencer Cosby, is sufi-
GENTLY liberal TO justify no complaint.
The three bands which are available for
this purpose-the Marine Band. the Cav
airy Band at Fort Myer. and the army
Engineer Band at Washington Barracks
will be heard on the White House
grounds on Saturdays. at the Capitol
grounds on Wednesdays. and at the va
rious parks in different sections Of the
city on other week days. The Cavalry Band
gives a Sunday morning concert at Fort
Myer and the Engineer Band gives a
Sunday afternoon concert at Washington
Barracks. both Of them we'll attended.
But a Sunday afternoon concert in Rock
Creek Park. preferably at the base OF

20 the 200" would be attended by a
larger audience than any two or three
