BEAR SEASON

The season for shooting bear in
Pennsylvania closed with Friday and
according to Secretary Joseph Kalbfus
of the game commission, the killing
of bear this year was the greatest
known in ten years or more DIR. Kalb-
fus' estimate is that at least 400 bear
were shot, principally in the northern
and Allegheny mountain counties.
The bears We're more numerous, too,
than for a long time and score or
more of hunting parties reported that
they came close to camp. This was the
first bear season to close with the year
as heretofore the bear seasons has run
until spring. The season for bear as
made by the last legislature was from
October to January /. The shore
bird season also closed with Friday
and from all accounts it was a good
one from the time it started on Sept
ember I. Other game seasons which
ended with the year are blackbirds,
and doves, which run the same as shore
birds, and salmon and pike, which be-
gan June 10. The duck season goes
until April 10th.

of the supreme court wrote a dissent

his opinion, the conviction should
stand and that the convicted murderer
should not be given an opportunity to
evade the just sentence of the court on
a point of error, when it was open to
question whether or not an error had
been committed.
