New Game Preserve.

| The state fish and game commission
 CTS have esta blished a state game pre-
 serve in Danbury. The tract of land located in the western part of the town, embracing about a mile square,
 has been set aside to safeguard the flock of pheasants which were turned
 loose there last spring to propagate.
 The tract has been leased for two years and it is expected that at the
 end of this period the lease may be re-
 newed for another term. The owners
 of the land are prohibited from shoot ing the birds just as much as any
 other hunter. The land is well adapt
 ed to the propagation of pheasants,
 as these birds thrive well in fairly
 open country and unlike the partridge
 do not need thick woods. The penalty
 for hunting on any state game pre-
 serve by any person is not more than $1 nor less than $50. The detection of any person with a gun, trap or
 snare upon any state game preserve
 during the open season is presumptive
 evidence of a violation of Section 3206
 of the state laws. One-hah of the
 ines imposed on any person found guilty of a violation of the law shall
 be paid to the informer
