Circus Follower
 Claims Holdup
Arthur Pederson Tells Story of Kidnapping and RObbing
 Police Call It q Yarn

Forty-eight hours after the
 worlds greatest show pulls out of the city the local police receive
 word that the startling feature of hoid-up. Kidnapping and robbery case occurred here. Arthur Ped. erson, s2, of 33O West 4sd street. New York, according to Q report from Ansonia, had a narrow escape from death Sunday morning when he either fell or was thrown off the circus train of the Ringing Brothers enroute from Waterbury to Providence. n. I.
 The circus played Providence yesterday, Hartford to-day and is due in Bridgeport tomorrow morn- ing.
 Sunday morning, however, Ped erson, his face covered with blood from & deep gash wound over the right eye and suffering from severe and painful bruises and lacerations about the body, appeared at the Ansonia police headquarters and told of having been robbed 6f $65 by two men travelling with the cir GUS. He claimed that after they took his money they tossed him off one of the Hat cars just below the trestle in the rear of Wooster street.
 According 10 his story, two men approached him as he was leaving the circus ground in Waterbury and one of them poked gun into his ribs with the command that he go with them peacefully. He said that they forced him onto the train and as 1t pulled out of Waterbury station they rified his pockets, talk ing other valuables besides his money. |.
 Sergeant William Reldy notified Waterbury police and after a checkup of the mans story both departments were inclined to dis count the story of the holdup. Po- lice expressed the opinion that Pederson fell off the train, after they had investigated.

SEASON
OPEN IN
UNTIL NEXT APRIL

Helena, Dec. 3.-On December /
the open season on fur-bearing
animals in the state began and
will continue until April Is. AS
a result of this, Assistant State
Game Warden Jack Carney is busy
with the issuance of trappers' Ii
censes at $40 each. u
Last year the total. number of
such licenses sold by the game
warden's office to aspiring trap
pers Of the furred beasts was 657,
which Melted the state revenues
and the game fund S6,570. Wheth-
er that figure will be reached this
year is problematical. The de-
preston may work either way
to put more trappers in the field
and to put some out because they
are unable to pay the $40.
The furry mammals that may
be trapped under the license in
clude muskrat, mink, marten, fox
and fisher.
The law also requires the trap
pers to secure permits to ship
their fur catches. These laws have
been in effect for several years,
but there are no statistics avail
able yet to indicate their effect 10
increase or d~anrooco fba fur-hnar-
ing animals in the state.
Bear is a fur-bearing animal,
but it cannot be trapped under the
law. 1t may be hunted, but not
trapped by the general public.
However, an exception is made Of
livestock growers who find bears
killing their stock. They are per-
mitted to either trap or hunt the
bears that pillage their herds or
flocks.
