MONON MAN KILLED TWO WILD DUCKS

Game- Warden Kent Learned About It and Sent the Ducks to a United States Marshal. The new federal game law is to be given its first test in Indiana and it will be learned soon how expensive it is to kll mgratory game at a season of the year which the federal law has dosed.

Saturday P. H. Kent, of Broofcston, a game warden, was In Monon and a friend told him that he had just purchased a couple of wild ducks at the poultry yard. Mr. Kent went to the poultry dealer, J. W. Taylor, and asked to see the djueks and then confiscated them and sent them to State Fish and Game Commissioner George W. Miles, at Indianapolis, and he will turn them'over to a United States marshal. ;The man who killed the ducks, which were two nice mallard hens, was Ed Raines, who lives in Monon. Raines is said to be a hunter and he had asked Taylor, the poultry dealer, to ship them to Chicago for him. Taylor had not done so but had disposed of them to another party. It is quite probable that Taylor-will also be liable under the federal law for having the game in his possession.
