A Word to the JJnwiseT**"**"* 0
Following are two sections from
the iaw of this state regarding the
mutilation of trees and shrubbery,
and we advise the young gentlemen
who have already laid themselves
liable to the penalty prescribed by
"knifing" trees in the city parks, to
take a hint before the kick is ad
ministered to them —i.e., a heavy
fine or two. Justice Swain stands |
ready to give the full dose to such I
offenders.

shall cut down, girdle, destroy or
injure any tree, timber or shrub on

lie grounds of any village, town or
city, or on the street or highway in
front thereof, without lawful author
ity, shall be deemed guilty of a mis
demeanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by a fine
of not more than fifty dollars, or by
imprisonment in the county jail not
more than twenty days, or by both
such fine and imprisonment.
Section 7145—1f any person
