Zook Fined for Having Wild Game in His Possession.

Clarence Zook, who has a hunting and fishing camp on the Kankakee river, was fined $25 and costs Saturday in Squire Irwin’s court for having had wild game in his possession. The charges were pushed by two game wardens, J. Havel and C. W. Mull, who, with ’Trig” Randle and Frank Lapham, maintain a game warden’s camp on Shanty Island. The costs brought the fine up to about $45, which was paid, but not until Zook had spent several hours in jail Nine other cases have been filed against him in this county and it is said there are a number more in Newton county. The game wardens are of the opinion that they have rounded up one of the most flagrant violators of the game laws in this part of the state and say that they will prosecute every case to the limit to secure convictions. The other cases against Zook and those against Harrison Armstrong will come up in the circuit court.
