Iators of the game laws was claimed
this morning by Deputy Game War
Gens Edwin N. Pease and william
Smyrk, who appeared in court before
Justice A. H. Dresser tc testify against
sylvester Lamonte, a young Italian,
who was arrested early yesterday
morning for hunting on Sunday. The
officers declared that by the use of a
miniature telescope they were able to
locate their man and they subse-
Quently trailed him by foot prints in
the soil, eventually making him a
captive.
Although he denied that he had
fred single shot. Lamonte entered a
plea of guilty and was fined IS and
costs, amounting to $3O.S1. He
settled.

were at Sunset Rock about o'clock
yesterday morning when they heard
the report Of rifle. From the ledge

finally succeeded in capturing him.
At the time Lamonte was emerging
from a clump of bushes. He had
taken the gun to pieces und mad the
parts under his coat.

he responded mot guilty" Despite
objections of Prosecutor Norton and
Justice Dresser, John Petnato,
friend of Lamonte, who was In the

guilty be entered. He was advised
that the man would have to plead for

r. Conlon, to whom the prisoner was
surrendered by the game wardens.

trail of Sunday hunters and they are
putting in a great deal of time in this
locality. Officer Pease said this
morning that he had received a re-
port of the killing of a deer in the
woods in the southern part of the
town and he hoped to arrest the
guilty party. He claimed to have
witness to the shooting of the animal
