were using an air rifle.
In about two shakes Mr.. Bomberger
was among them and the youngsters
were treated 10 u free lecture on the
value Of songbirds. He restrained his
anger and kept from laying violent
hands on them.
At the same time tho attorney show
cd the boys that they were liable 20
prosecution for violating the migratory
bird law
That woodpecker may not have mi
grated south like most bords do" said
Mr.. Bomberger, but the fact that Il
lives IN these parts and was within a
few hundred feet OF the state line.
That makes 1t migratory bird accord
