nesday dispatched two game wardens
TO Howe Brook, near Ashland. in
Aroostook county, to arrest Carl Sut-
ter and Margaret Sutter. husband
and wife, charged with violation of
the game laws. Sutter and his wife
nave been in the woods for two
weeks leading the primitive life in
much the same way that Joe
knowles did nine years ago. The
man and woman, who style them
selves as the modern Adam and Eve.
were sent into the wilderness bv a
Boston newspaper for advertising
purposes and they were to remain in
the woods for six weeks.
a number of complaints against
Sutter and his wife for breaking the
game laws were received by the De-
partment of Inland Fisheries and
Game and a Providence man wrote
the department asking if he could
not have permission to shoot game
in close time. Pictures were printed
in Boston newspaper showing Mr..
and Mrs. Sutter in possession of deer
and partridge unlawfully killed in
close time.
The wardens delegated to go to
Howe Brook. arrest Mr.. and Mrs.

Wednesday:
The fish and game laws were
placed on the statute books to be en-

fication of these laws and l do not
think that the people believe in such
notification. l see no reason why
these people who call themselves the
modern Adam and Eve should be
permitted to violate the game laws
any more than other persons"
One Of Complaints
The following is a copy of one of
the complaints received by the de-
partment of inland fisheries and
game:
II am writing you to register my
protest against the breaking of the
game laws by the modern Adam and
Eve at Howe Brook, Me.
LAS evidence, / am referring you
to the Boston Advertiser of June /.
Following are the counts: (D A non
resident hunting in Maine without
license. (2) Killing deer out of sea-
son. CD Catching deer in a snare.
(4) Killing partridge out of season.
60 Catching trout in other ways
than with hook and line. co Catch
ing trout under the legal limit.
1T would seem to me that some
one should take action on the matter
and not allow people from out of the
State to come in here and do what
the residents of the State would be
prosecuted for. If / should catch
trout with hook and line that did net
come up to the five-inch limit, l
would be prosecuted.
IF these people were in the woods
bv accident, / would not blame them
for doing anything like this to sus-
tain life, but if they are there OF
their own option and daily in con-
nection with the outside world, and
could secure other means if they so
chose, 1 do not approve.
