Show IN JUSTICE COURT LOU SANFORD FINED $100 IN PHEASANT CASE Lou Sanford, manager of the Lincoln Mining Company, was fined $100 when he appeared in Justice O. C. Koch's court on a charge of "possession of pheasants pheas-ants illegally taken." ' Mr. Sanford pleaded guilty to the charge, but offered the "explanation" "ex-planation" that he had obtained the birds from two Minersville youths whose "conscience hurt them after killing the birds out of season," and who knew Mr. Sanford was a taxidermist and offered him the birds. After hearing this explanation, explana-tion, Justice Koch remitted $50 of the fine, on condition that Mr. Sanford either "produce the boys who gave you the pheasants pheas-ants or relinquish your state permit to shoot such birds out of season." At press time Thursday Thurs-day morning, Mr. Sanford had not produced the Minersville youths who he states gave him the birds. The permit held by Mr. Sanford San-ford gives him permission to "take migratory birds for scientific scien-tific purposes." |
