Game Warden A1ert

Thomas Quigley, of Pine street, Is one
Of those persons who disregarded three
warnings given him not to let his dog run
at large. AS result of this neglect
Quigley was arrested on Wednesday, on
the complaint of Game Warden Charles
G. Morton, evidence having been secured
that his dog killed rabbit Tuesday night.
The case was heard before Justice Ben
nett Risdon. who imposed fine of 1928 IS,
which the defendant paid
Joseph Moisell, living near Medford,
was also arrested last week by the warden
for allowing his dog to run after being
notified not to do so. Moisell failed to
appear before Justice Risdon In Mount
Holly on Wednesday night the time set
for hearing. He will probably show up
later, however. as he is now engaged pick
ing cranberries. In order to keep out Of
jail friend went security for the fine
which he will undoubtedly have to pay.
Game warden Morton says he has been
running up against whole lot of trouble
in the performance of his duty. Previous
to his appointment to this office gunners
wanted dog running stopped, but when
arrested for violating the law they put up
big kick, and threaten all sorts of bad
things. But while he is on the job Mr.
Morton will enforce the law to the best of
his ability. Having once thoroughly
attended to the duties attached to his
appointment, gunners will have an
opportunity to decide upon the system of
having a frst-class warden. 1t is safe to
say that true sportsmen will applaud the
efforts now being made to enforce the law
with respect to killing gamein this county,
while the other class will have to look out
for themselves.
Although he lives in this state nearly
six months in the year Fenton Middleton,
of Hainesport, thought that with the
amount of money he dropped yearly in
this county he ought TO be permitted to
gun under a local license, which costs
81 10 Finding that he could not do so,
he suggested to warden Morton that per-
haps he would run the risk and take
chances. You can do as you please about
that, remarked the warden. A day or
two later when the two men met on the
lower Rancocas creek, Middleton was the
first man held up that day on demand
that he show his credentials. Fortunate
ly he was able to produce nonresident
license, which cost 80. So Where would
/ have been If had taken chan ces?' asked
Middleton. up against a 1923 IS fine, ("
replied the warden.
On looking over the field Wednesday
morning, warden Morton met a man from
Pennsylvania. After questions had been
asked, the stranger produced two reed
birds and nonresident license. Glanc.
ing at the exhibit for a moment, he re.
marked ''For the sport of shooting those
two little birds and what Is yet to follow
in that line, consider the $1,000 well
i spent"
! During the rounds Mr.. Morton has held
up every gunner he has met, and in nc
case has he yet found one without {
| license.
Mr.. Morton reports that there are plenty
of reed birds below Centreton and tina
they are In good condition.

Resolutions Of Appreciation.

On September 9Th 1910, occurred the twenty
fifth anniversary of the superintendency Of
DIR. Richard II. Parsons, at the Burlin gton
County Hospital, at Mount Holly. DIR. Par
sons succeeded the late Dr. Francis Ashhurst,
who was the founder and first superintendent.
The Board OF Managers wishes to ex press its
appreciation OF his satisfactory and faithful
service, and feels that the Importance and
high reputation the hospital has attained is
very largely and justly due to his sincere In
terest, graceful tact and untiring work,
through many discouragements and Difficult
ties. In this quarter of century the doctor
has the remarkable record OF having been
absent from only four meetings of the Board,
and In each case ii was either professional
duty or Ill health which made 1t Imperative.
The Board congratulates the doctor on his
enviable record and wishes him many more
years OF life, health and happiness.

In It's efforts to give the townspeople q
pure and wholesome supply of drinking
water, the Mount Holly Water Company.
through its president, B. F. Haywood
Shreve, has started mandamus proceedings
against the State Board of Health, which
body refused to take action when It's at
tention was called to condition existing
at Birmingham. which was thought might
pollute the water at that point. In reply
to the complaint representative of the
State Board visited the premises and made
an adverse report respecting the situation,
alleging there was no cause for alarm. On
the other hand Mr. Shreve and citizens OF
Mount Holly made personal inspection
of the matter, and reached the conclusion
that the health of the people using the
water was being threatened, and the de-
mand that the state authorities proceed In
the matter followed. The trouble was
caused by the cleaning of the cessposl at
tached to the Birmingham Inn, the refuse
being dumped on the ground so close to
the creek that rain or any heavy storm
would carry impurity into the water In
this respect 1t is noticed that since this
dumping occurred. the state chemist has
found sewage In the water. Claiming that
NO harm has been done, the State Board
has taken steps for defence when the matter
reaches the courts. The w er Company
has been equally active, and on Friday
Messrs. Harris and Earl went to Birming
ham and made a survey of the premises
for use in the coming contest. There i
considerable feeling against the Stat
Board In this matter, as they could hav'
ordered 9 removal of the Objectionable
