TAKE NOTICE 

I would appreciate it if the party that took the windows and window panes out of my barn would ask for them, and especially the keg of shingle nails that was taken the latter part of last week. I need them as well as you, to shingle my buildings; and this is not all—you may think I don’t know where they went, but I do know. So please return them and avoid being made public, for the sake of your family. — Roy Waggoner 

TRAPPING OF BIRDS AGAINST
THE LAW
An Enterprise reader wishes us to call the attention of trappers to a section of the game law relating to the protection of birds. Here is his letter:
Dear Editor:
As the trapping season has opened, it would be well for trappers to read the following paragraph as found in the syllabus of the laws relating to fish and game 1925. 

“Birds shall not be trapped, netted or snared, nor shall nets, traps or snares be set or used where birds can be taken.” 

If this law was obeyed by all trappers, there would be no danger of dogs being caught, as in some cases we know of, and perhaps left to suffer for hours, if not days. 

It is a most inhuman thing to do, and we understand the Humane society is looking into the matter. We hope so. 

— A LOVER OF DOGS AND BIRDS. 

STRANGER AWAKENS SLEEPING
ALTAMONT WITH RACKET 

We have all heard the old poem about “Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight,” and there was a reason back of that exclamation. While our quiet Altamont village Sunday night was in sweet repose and the rain was falling fast, the breaking of the silence by shouting and the ringing of the railroad crossing bell awakened citizens about Main street, and they looked for a reason, and it is said some reached for their guns. 

It turned out that the curfew ringer was a stranger in town, who sought shelter and was determined to have it at any cost. He may have thought he was ringing up Central, but he did ring up trouble. 

Constable Gaige,who lives near the scene of the disturbance, at the solicitation of his neighbors, gathered in the “disturbance,” and made him comfortable for the night. The officer of the law sat up while his prisoner rested, and Altamont went back to bed. 

But this didn’t end the story. Justice Makely took a hand Monday morning, found the visitor guilty of breaking the peace as well as some windows in the D. & H. local, and invited Mr. Rain, or whatever may have been his name, to visit the Capital city as its guest for 60 days, and give up some cash to cover expenses. 

The stranger did not seem to appreciate his opportunity and was somewhat reluctant about taking an automobile ride. Perhaps he had his preference as to make of car, or wanted to choose his own company. A little persuasion became necessary at both ends of the journey to Albany, but experiences across the seas helped out, and no gas masks were necessary. 

We forgot to mention that at the height of the noise and bluster Sunday night, an auto appeared on the scene, and it was laughable to see the driver step on the gas, fearing a holdup.
