It is a felony punishable by impris-
onment in the penitentiary to wanton-
ly and willfully cut, injure, or destroy
any fences or part thereof (not being
che property of the party destroying
cutting or injuring the same). It is
also an offence to hunt upon the en-
| closed land of another without the con
sent of the owners. All these law's, I
believe, have been approved and in the
future I shall prosecute any such vio-
lation to the full extent of the law.
It is an offense punishable by fint
or impresonment, or both, to
pull dow-n or injure and leav<
any gate leading nto the enclos
another., without consent.
