SERVED QUAIL TO GAME WARDENS

“Waita, waita, serve us each a qnaila, on toasta, right a way a.” This was the language used by two Indiana game wardens Tuesday evening, Dec. 2d, as they sooured the billof-fore in a dining car attached to the north bound Monon passenger train due in Bensselaer at 6:32. And the waiter served theqail or some other bird and the chef was promptly arrested, and when the 6:32 train stopped in Bensselaer was at once taken before deputy prosecuting attorney Moses Leopold and two complaints filed against him. setting forth that he had violated the game law by selling each a quail, and charging the sum of 60 cents therefor. Judge Hanley admitted the chef, Henry F. Dudley, a colored gentleman, to bail, with Agent Beam and the Monon’s local attorney, Frank Foltz, as bondsmen, and the train was halted here until he could get down town, get his business fixed up and get back to the depot, which he accomplished in just a half hour, which stands as a record in Jasper county. Dudley is to appear for trial at the first day of the February term. The game wardens are James L. Martin, of Waisaw, and James A. Stoneburner of Fowler. It is probable the chef will be able to demonstrate that before be ing killed the “quail’’ he served went by the name of pigeon.
