Farmers Near Brook Lose Stock Through Careless Shooting.

Brook Reporter. The farmers are getting sore at the hunters and well they may be, as Harry Garrick lost a horse as the result of a shot from an unknown hunter and last Friday a valuable bull belonging to Charles Montgomery was badly injured by some one using a shotgun. The hunting on the public highway in automobiles Is causing some uneasiness and as it is against the law it should be stopped. Who can tell after night just what the results of a shot may be where one may be walking on the side of the road out of range of the lights or the result of shooting into the fence where stock may be standing. The farmers are thoroughly aroused on this sport and an attempt will be made to arrest all those found shooting after night on the public highway.
