A deputy game warden was nosing about in Newton county last week and unearthed several fish nets, one being found at the home of County Commissioner Skinner, north of Morocco. A heavy fine is the penalty for even harboring a fish net, and if any of The Democrat readers have one on their premises they should lose no time in burning it. There is no telling when a game warden may happen along, and then a fine and costs of $35 to SSO is the result and the confiscation of the net also, t —o — Several members of the county council with commissioners Waymire and Pettet, were up to the Kankakee Thursday to look over the matter of a “grade for the Hebron bridge,” where two routes are proposed, one directly north of Demotte and the other the old bridge leading to Hebron, an appropriation for which latter was made last year but w’as not large enough to secure any bids. If the new, or west line is selected, a new bridge will have to be built by Jasper and Porter counties to cross the revir. Nb decision in the matter was arrived at, and as the improvement is quite an undertaking at this time it may be decided, that the matter can rest for a time until the benefits to be derived will be more commensurate with the expense.
