PROSECUTIONS IN WEST VIRGINIA. 



You inquire as to the fate of the dyna- 

 miters arrested by Mr. Jacobs, Mr. Stew- 

 art and me. I enclose herewith a type- 

 written list of prosecutions for violations 

 of our game and fish laws during the past 

 11 months. This -list represents only what 

 has been done by the L. A. S. in the way 

 of enforcing the laws for the protection of 

 game and fish, and I feel justified in say- 

 ing that it does not represent more than 

 half of the work accomplished by the local 

 chapter of the L. A. S. There has been 

 a decided change in public sentiment in 

 favor of game and fish preservation, and 

 many hoggish hunters have changed their 

 methods. 



Of the members of the local chapter here 

 who have been doing yeoman service for 

 game preservation Elmer F. Jacobs and 

 Terrence D. Stewart have probably been 

 foremost, while John Coburn, Evans Price, 

 Dr. Sivey, Newt. Dawson, and others de- 

 serve much credit. The local newspapers 

 have also aided greatlv in changing public 

 sentiment in regard to the taking of game 

 and fish and other harmless wild life. 

 Bennett S. White, Chief Warden, 



Morgantown, W. Va. 



The list of prosecutions to which Mr. 

 White refers is as follows, 



Oct. 23, H. E. Vensel, hunting without li- 

 cense, fine and costs, $48.
