One on Fritzy. One beautiful af-
ternoon last week, four wee, little
innocent looking boys stood beside
the Little Sank river where that
little freshet flows over the ram
parts of the old mill dam. They
seemed somewhat inclined to peep
into the element Of the finny tribe
when suddenly a speedy car COM
ing in from the north quickly slow
ed down and stopped. No sooner
had the kahki clad driver appeared
than the four little rascals had
slipped under cover in the dense
woods and all his calls to halt were
futile. Instead of pursuing the fug-
itives he attempted the next best.
He hurried off to take the license
number of a car that stood farther
down the stream thinking this done
their fate was sealed anyway. Up
on investigation the car proved to
be George Kircher's who could
easily furnish an alibi as the ma
chine had not been moved for a
week or more and Mr.. Kircher was
out in the country chopping wood.
Seeing his mistake the kaki clad
officer, a gamewarden entered his
car and sped off heading for Sank
Centre.
