At any rate the miscreants, who be friended the coyotes, were probably ignorant of the fact that the United State* government protect* these trap* by imposing a fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment in a fed eral penitentiary for not more than five years as the penalty for molesting bl Better quit it, boys.
