Boyer, formerly of Whiting but now a ?belby drdjtgikli who was arrested a few dki's ago on complaint of thft f'a'rtjtkers for the Northern Indiana Land Co’s, land along thft Kankakee, charged with trespass. There was no dispute about his having been hunting in that vicinity, but the Kankakee has been declared a navigable stream and at the time ,od the alleged trespass it was several miles wide and the defense expected to maintain that no permit was necessary to hunt on the said ,stream, the channel' proper of which it was difficult to locate at that. time.
