ITWO TRAPPERS FINED AT BERNE I Wabash Township Men Arrested By Game Wardens For Illegal Trapping Berne, Ind., Nov. 4. —Justice of the Peace Homer Schug yesterday afternoon heard the first case since his commission as an arbitrator of the law. The cases heard were dealt with quickly as both men against whom charges had been filed plead guilty and were more than glad to get off as leniently as they did. Edwin H. Cole, of Marion, and John J. Bravy, of Anderson had recently been tipped off that over in Wabash township along the Wabash river there was some illegal trapping going on and that the game laws were being violated otherwise. In tact the wordens had been tipped off quite specifically; so that they hail little trouble in getting conclusive evidence. Yesterday when they investigated they found enough proof to warrant the arrest. The victims to fall into the hands of the law were Fred Liechty and Albert Runyon, farmers, of Wabash township. Three charges were filed I against Runyon by Cole and Beavy. The charges brought against him and to which he plead guilty were two charges for having in his possession freshly skinned muskrat hides and for having a freshly skinned skunk hide. The trapping season for each of these fur animals is now closed. Charges were filed against Liechty for having a fish spear and for possessing a dip net for fishing. Each ot the men plead guilty to all the charges filed and were fined $5.00 and costs, on each. Runyon's total fine was $54 and Liechty's fine was s;l6. The game wardens found other pelts in the possession of the two and had enough evidence to file at least fifteen charges against Runyon and five against Liechty. The other charges were dropped, but the men had to surrender all their pelts and had to destroy the dipping net used for fishing. Reports are that there have been other violations around here for trapping out of season. Some 'raps are said to be out along the Blue creek and Wabash.
