TERRE HAUTE JUDGE
SAYS ferret LAW
IN INDIANA VALID

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE
validity of the ferret law and the con-
stitutionality of the certificate of in
spection prices as imposed by the state
conservation commission on those who
harbor ferrets, are legal in every way,
says a decision just handed down in
the Terre Haute city court by Special
Judge Beecher.
AS a result of the courts ruling. fer
ret cases pending in Vigo county will
now be brought to trial soon, George
~ Manifold, chief of the fish and
game division, says.
The case challenging the constitu-
tionality of the ferret law, enacted at
the last legislature, was instituted by
Frank Black, arrested in August for
harboring three ferrets without a GER
tificate of inspection and whose attor-
neys attacked the validity of the new
law when affidavits were filed against
their client.
VIII Prosecute Black.
With the validity of the law estab-
hshed the original affidavits against
Black will be prosecuted and the trial
is set for Oct. 10, it is announced. A
case against Walter Reece, also of
Vigo county, charged with harboring
IA ferrets. will be tried after the Black
case, officials declare.
The ferret law was enacted to abol-
ish the use of this Visions little animal
used by some hunters much to the
defamation of rabbits. 1t has the sup.
port of every lover of wild life and es.
pecially hunters of the state who wish
the supply augmented instead of de
creased.
The regulation as imposed by the
conservation commission calls for
everyone who harbors ferrets to take
out certificate of inspection costing
$40 for the first animal and S. for each
additional animal
