FROM THE GAME FIELDS. 47 
ethers into the trap, was neatly caught, with the 
oods on him, yesterday by Dr. Kalbfus and 
ame Warden Berrier, of Harrisburg, and heav- 
ily fined by Justice S. N. Eminger, of this place. 
Recently Dr. Kalbfus heard of Brunhouse sell- 
ing the birds and bought several from him at 
York. Warden Berrier was then put on the case. 
Coming to Mechanicsburg last Thursday evening 
Berrier made the acquaintance of Brunhouse and 
on Friday morning the 2 took a drive to the 
South in search of game. During the time they 
were together in the country Berrier witnessed 
the capture of 6 birds in Brunhouse’s trap. When 
they drove back to town in_the afternoon they 
had a total of 26 birds. Dr. Kalbfus was in 
town awaiting them with a warrant charging 
Brunhouse with violating the Act of Assembly 
of June 4, 1897, protecting insectivorous and 
song birds. He placed the man under arrest at 
once. 
Brunhouse was taken before Justice Eminger 
for a hearing, during which he appealed to Ber- 
rier for help, and was chagrined to learn that 
gentleman’s real business. On the evidence given, 
the justice imposed a fine of $10 for each of the 
26 birds found in Brunhouse’s possession, and 
the costs, the total amounting to $263. Brun- 
house refused to pay, saying he would appeal the 
case. He was then placed under $550 bail, which 
he furnished. 
The captured birds were taken to the yard 
back of the Squire’s office and all but 5 were re- 
leased._ The remainder were taken to Harrisburg. 
During the past week Dr. Kalbfus has done 
considerable effective work in different parts of 
the State. Monday, at Lilly, Cambria county, he 
secured the conviction’ of 2 miners who had 
beaten down the nests of orioles and killed the 
young birds. Being unable to pay fines of $50 
the miners went to jail for 50 days. At Wood- 
bury, Bedford county, a man who amused him- 
self shooting swallows paid a fine of» $30. Dr. 
Kalbfus will be busy again next week.—Pennsyl- 
vania Paper. 
Brunhouse will, no doubt, have to pay his 
fine eventually. He will probably decide to 
do so without paying out other good money 
to some lawyer to defend him. When Dr. 
Kalbfus gets after a law breaker, his name 
might just as well be Dennis as Brunhouse, 
or anything else. Brunhouse goes down in 
the game hog register as No. 922. 

RANGE OF THE GLACIER BEAR. 
At the foot of Mount St. Elias and reach- 
ing from the head of Disenchantment bay 
to the Copper river delta, a distance of over 
150 miles, is the great Malsipena glacier. 
At one or 2 points it breaks into the Pa- 
cific ocean. The glacier is gradually reced- 
ing inland and has left a strip of land along 
the shore varying from a few yards to 15 
miles in width. As a rule this strip of 
land slopes gently back from the sea. The 
formation is sandstone and this section is 
known as sand dunes. It has a scattered 
and stunted growth of spruce timber with 
plenty of grass and small berries. 
_ As soon as the snow goes off the dunes 
in spring and during the summer, this strip 
of land is the home of the gfaeier, or blue, 
bear. At intervals rapid rivers find their 
way under the glaciers and across this strip 
of land to the sea. They are difficult and 
dangerous te cross. The boulders in them 
are covered with fine glacial mud, slippexy 
as soft soap, the rivers are swift, cold and 
usually about 4 feet deep. Outfit required: 
Folding canvas canoe, small bore smokeless 
rifle, carbine style; small field glasses, com- 
pass, ice creepers, etc. 
Land at Kayak island from steamer, 
cross over to Auktalee sand spit, 3% miles, 
on the mainland, thence 25 miles down the 
coast past Cape Suckling to the Indian 
camp known as the Seal House. Go into 
camp there, and you will have one or 2 
glacier bears within 2 weeks. Bears will be 
found feeding on the grass and berries on 
the dunes between the glaciers and the sea. 
It would be advisable to secure the services 
of an Indian guide, or of a white man who 
is familiar with the country.

EIGHTY FOXES CAUGHT WITH TERRIER. 
I read in September RECREATION a note 
from F. W. Stapleton in reply to an article 
published 7 or 8 months ago, signed by 
me, and which was written over 5 years 
ago. That was before the law was enacted 
in this State which prohibts the sale of 
game, and at that time 6 weeks more were 
allowed to hunting than are at present. 
I agree with Mr. Stapleton that game is 
more plentiful now than for years past; 
but at the time my letter to RECREATION 
was written game was scarcer than I ever 
knew it to be. 
Is it strange Mr. Stapleton never heard 
of a fox terrier being used in hunting 
foxes? Every hunter learns something 
new every year he hunts, or every time 
he reads RECREATION? 
It is never too late to learn, and here is 
Mr. Stapleton’s chance. 
In the spring of 1897 George Shaw did 
capture over 80 foxes with a fox terrier. 
Every farmer in that region who knew of a 
fox burrow sent word to Mr. Shaw. His 
fox terrier would go into the hole and 
drive out both old and young foxes. They 
would be either shot or caught, though 
most ef them were caught alive. Mr. 
Shaw sold over 50 live foxes that year, 
shipping them to the Seuthern States. 
‘I should be glad to make an appointment 
with Mr. Stapleton next spring, so that he 
may see a fox terrier drive out foxes.

& BOY'S: LUCK. 
We had gone into the big woods of 
Maine for our annual hunt, and had taken 
up our quarters at one of the many com- 
fortable log camps of that country. Early 
on the morning after our arrival the guide 
and I started out to provide venison for 
the camp. We crossed the lake in the 
canoe, and took a short cut through the 
forest to another lake about 2 miles be- 
yond. We saw nething on the way out,
