stated that the attorney general
has held that a man can hunt un-
protected game without a license;
Judge Killian held that the mere
fact that a man is out with a gun
and a dog is not evidence that he is
hunting protected game, therefore
if a man has a right to hunt I'M
protected game without a license,
the burden of proof is then on the
state to show that he was hunting
protected game and thereby violat-
ing the game law. Then in regard
to hunting within enclosures,
Judge killian says-Sec. 1902 Rev.
Statutes of 1889, says: Every per-
son who shall be found hunting
with gun or dog, within the en-
closure of another, or shall enter
to catch or kill game of any kind,
without the consent of the owner
or person in charge of such en-
closure, shall on complaint of such
owner or person in charge be fined
not exceeding ten dollars. In the
amendments to the game law,
passed by the legislature in 1909,
section 1902, cited above, was
repealed along with a lot of other
sections of this law so that now
the owner of the lands only re-
course in a case of trespass is a
suit for damages against the tres
passer. Judge Killian thinks that
the repeating of section No. 1902
by the new law was an oversight
and that it will work a great hard
ship on land owners.-Frederick-

Piedmont Banner: ~. E. White
and Joe Creedon, railroad train
men, are under bond here cha rged
with robbing the hen house of j.
A. Rives, a citizen of Piedmont.
Mr.. Rives discovered on last FRI
day morning that his hen house
had been broken into and ten
chickens stolen. He attempted
the pursuit of the unknown thieves
by following their tracks in the
mud. 1t is alleged that the tracks
led to the eaboose of an early
morning freight train, extra No.
Al, which left Piedmont about 4
o'clock Friday morning going
north. Mr.. Rives reported the
matter to the Piedmont authorities.
Acting upon instructions from
City Marshal, Geo. Turner, the
officers at De Soto arrested j. e.
White and Joe Creedon, brakemen
on the freight train. Nine chickens
were found in the caboose of the
train, and they have since been
identified as Mr.. Rives' fowls.
Constable S. E. Fraser brought the
accused men and the chickens
back to Piedmont Saturday night.
The men, acting under advice of
their counsel, Judge E. M. Dear
ing, of Potosi, waived preliminary
examination Monday. Justice Ira
Malcolm bound them over to the
circuit court, placing their bonds
at $500 each, which they gave and
were released from custody. Pros
ecuting Attorney, j. F. Meador,
came to Piedmont Monday in con-
nection with the case. Creedon
disavows all knowledge of the
chickens, and in this he is sus-
tanned by Conductor Will Ham
mond, who was in charge of the
train, and also by White himself.
Conductor Hammond says that he
noticed the chickens in the caboose
when the train reached Sabula,
and upon asking about them was
told by White that he, White,
bought the chickens from a hobo
at Annapolis"
