County Treasurer Gullick received
a letter this week from State Game
Warden Hedrick, in which he stated
that the government has a force of
men following the spring fight of the
ducks northward looking for violations
of the federal hunting law. There is
, not likely to be many violations of the
law, as Uncle Sam has a reputation of
going the limit to convict anyone who
has the temerity to break his laws,
and if he catches anyone hunting 1t
will be a term in Fort Leavenworth
for them.

Superintendent Browning and Prin-
cipal Dillon found a couple of well
known young men in the school house
about eleven o'clock Friday evening,
and it was evident that they were
there for no good purpose. They were
locked up that night and Saturday
were brought before Judge Grover and
bound over to the circuit court on a
charge of entering a building with in
tent to do mischief, a charge that was
not as serious as might have been
brought against them. The case Is a
regrettable one and much sympathy
is extended to the families and 1t is
wholly out Of consideration for them
that the Register does not mention the
boys names. 1t Is strange that young
men of good home training, such as
these boys have had, should engage
in such work, and 1t is to be hoped
that their arrest and consequen,
humiliation they have brought upon
themselves and their parents will
prove a good lesson to them.
