state game WardenS made whole
sale arrests over in our adjoining
towns of Harrison and Paris last
week. Fifteen men were placed un-
der arrest for illegal hunting and
trapping and were fined in sums var
wing from $25 and costs to $50 and
costs. We understand that there are
some others who will be made to pay
the same penalties. One man was fin
ed $50 with $6.25 costs for using a
ferret for hunting purposes The
laws OF the state positively forbid the
hunting Of game with a ferret or
having one in your possession or un-
der your control at any time unless
a permit therefor has been issued to
you by the state conservation COM
mission Then The permit will not
authorize the use of ferret for hunt
ing game. These many arrests should
be warning to some parties who
make it a practice of violating the
laws for hunting or trapping game
without first obtaining a license. 1t is
far better to pay the small fee for
license than TO nov a heavy fine
