On June 27, Warden W. T. Pollard reported the killing of a yearling bull moose at Ebeeme pond. Simply what meat could be cut off the hind quarters was taken. After a full investigation evidence was secured to warrant the arrest of Joseph, Joel, John and Edwin Pomlow, all of Brownville. They were tried before Judge Smith of the Dover municipal court and were found guilty. Joseph and Joel were given a sentence of 60 days in jail; John was sentenced to 30 days in jail; Edwin, being a boy of only 14 years of age, was discharged.
On July 19, Warden W. T. Pollard reported that Deputy Warden Redmond had found part of another moose which had been illegally killed at Ebeeme pond. At the head of the pond, lying on the shore, were the hind quarters with the meat cut off; near the head of the pond one fore quarter in same condition as the hind quarter at the foot of the pond; a piece of the backbone was also found near Leighton's camp.
Later investigations have thrown no light upon this case. No prosecution as yet.
