Appleton City, at the same time the balance of the gang were gobbled.
He will be twenty years old next December, and is the son of a widow
lady. He is respectably connected, but for a young man is as hardened

Arthur Harper of Appleton City had the mistaken idea that he could
hunt without a license. He tried it but John McCaslin, Game Warden,
promptly arrested him. Justice Davis Of Appleton City taxed Harper
$33.95 fine and cost. A state wide hunting and fishing license could
have been purchased for $2.50. On the same day McCaslin, while
browsing around in St.Clair County found that Ben Brown of Appleton
City had been killing quail. The quail season closed December 31st.
The same Judge put the same fine and costs on Brown that he taxed
against Harper. Stiff fines will go a long ways towards stopping
violation of our game, and fish laws.
