  HUNTING 
  LICENSES. 
  

  

  fine, 
  however, 
  as 
  provided 
  in 
  some 
  laws, 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  different 
  character, 
  and 
  

   may 
  be 
  emploj^ed 
  with 
  much 
  better 
  results. 
  

  

  The 
  question 
  naturally 
  suggests 
  itself 
  as 
  to 
  how 
  far 
  license 
  laws, 
  and 
  

   especially 
  those 
  relating 
  to 
  nonresidents, 
  are 
  enforced. 
  Unfortunately 
  

   statistics 
  on 
  the 
  point 
  are 
  too 
  meager 
  to 
  furnish 
  reliable 
  conclusions; 
  

   still 
  such 
  as 
  are 
  obtainable 
  are 
  interesting, 
  as 
  indicating 
  that 
  the 
  laws 
  

   are 
  certainly 
  not 
  violated 
  with 
  impunity. 
  Thus 
  for 
  hunting 
  without 
  

   a 
  license 
  there 
  were 
  9 
  convictions 
  in 
  Montana 
  in 
  1902; 
  in 
  ,New 
  Jersey 
  

   9 
  convictions 
  in 
  1902 
  and 
  15 
  arrests 
  in 
  1903; 
  in 
  Pennsylvania 
  23 
  arrests 
  

   in 
  1902, 
  and 
  in 
  West 
  Virginia 
  5 
  convictions 
  in 
  1901 
  and 
  8 
  in 
  1903. 
  

   Recently 
  a 
  sportsman 
  from 
  Homestead, 
  Pa., 
  who 
  had 
  been 
  indicted 
  for 
  

   hunting 
  squirrels 
  out 
  of 
  season 
  in 
  West 
  Virginia, 
  was 
  arrested 
  and 
  

   taken, 
  under 
  extradition 
  papers, 
  to 
  Morgantown, 
  W. 
  Va., 
  w 
  T 
  here 
  he 
  

   was 
  fined 
  $25 
  and 
  costs 
  for 
  hunting 
  without 
  a 
  nonresident 
  license. 
  

   He 
  was 
  also 
  required 
  to 
  deposit 
  $110 
  as 
  a 
  guarantee 
  of 
  his 
  appearance 
  

   at 
  the 
  next 
  term 
  of 
  court 
  to 
  answer 
  the 
  indictment. 
  a 
  In 
  Canada 
  

   hunting 
  without 
  a 
  license 
  frequently 
  results 
  in 
  arrest. 
  In 
  Ontario 
  26 
  

   arrests 
  were 
  made 
  and 
  21 
  convictions 
  secured 
  in 
  1901, 
  and 
  9 
  convic- 
  

   tions 
  in 
  1902; 
  5 
  guns, 
  1 
  rifle, 
  and 
  1 
  boat 
  in 
  the 
  possession 
  of 
  unlicensed 
  

   hunters 
  were 
  also 
  seized 
  in 
  1901.

  Letter 
  dated 
  September

  Deputy 
  Warden

  who 
  

   conducted 
  the 
  case.
