Non-Resident Violator of Game Law Met a Game Warden.

Monticello Journal. J. “Trig” Randall and his companion game warden Jacob Hovel, of Rome City, picked up a non-resi-dent hunter over at Thornhope one night last week. It was E. F. Mil-; ler, of Chicago. They were on a train going north and ,he got on at Thornhope carry ing a basket and a gun. In the basket were- some squirrels and a rabbit. A conversation sprang up and ‘Trig” wished to know how he, a non-resident, got by the game wardens. He replied, “Oh, that’s easy; all you have to do is to know the game wardens.” Well, one of the men said, “we are gamewardens —how well do you know us?” They placed him under arrest and, on the pledge of the conductor, allowed him to go home to come back later to Winamac and plead guilty. This he did and it cost him $36.80 for his acknowledged violation of law.
