AGAINST GUNNERS.

More than ever before in the history
of cunning in this section of Delaware
the farmers have posted notices warning
all persons from trespassing on their
lands with dog or gun. What IS respon-
sible for this disposition among the farm
ers and land owners is that the gunners
who farm do not have to pay license
to gun on their own land, but when they
cross over on adjoining lands they are
violating the law, and also they do not
wish every licensed gunner to have the
privilege of the game on their lands.
