WILD BILL'S CUTLET OF VENISON GOES UNEATEN Zealouj Game Warden at Newport Interferes With Meal Because Season Law Demands Enforcement. BT JOSEPH PATTERSON. IN THE past few years some Inter esting Incidents relating to the pro tection of game In Newport have rome to light. I'p tn that time the eath rate among the hunters had been kept falriy below the death rate of the game, but without any warning com plications suddenly arose. Wild Bill waa seated next to a stranger In a Newport restaurant ordering from the menu Instead of the calendar, and called for a venison steak from his private stork. It wa In the month of May. and the daisies were In bloom. Katlilesaeats Are Exrhaase4. "Say!" Inquired the etranger. "Have you ever heard that there is proper season for killing deer, and do you know that there might be a game warden In this vicinity?" "Have you ever heard of Wild Bllir ws the reply that met the question. "I haven't, but I am glad to make his acquaintance, for I am about to Intro duce' him to the Justice of the Peace. That piece cf Jewelry your optica are glued to Is mine, presented by the state. Cornel" Hill went. Soon afterward the etranger, who ac-, quleseed to the name of Jim Oatens. waa wandering along the coast where a stream coming from the wooda crossed the beach and entered the sea. Seated by the mouth of the stream was a man with a rifle. The season was on fur rain storms and deer. Jim ap proached the man and. remarking the bad weather, asked what luck the hunt er waa having. He we told that the hunter had not had any success until lately, when he had commenced run ning the deer with hounds. Since then he had had flattering auccesa. Star Gave for Maacfct. Sow. In the knowledge that burdened Jim Gatens' brain waa the fact that It was unlawful to run deer with dogs. his duty waa foremost, placing his hand oa the etranger and unbuttoning his own coat at the same time so that bis star would show, he said: "I am Oatens. the game warden. Who might you be 7" Pleased to meet you. Uatena. I've heard of rou ar.d you've heard of me. 1 am Smitn. acknowledged to be the biggest liar In the county." Jim said "Goot day." and moved on alone. For a time things looked bright in the camps of the nimrods. It waa pos sible to carry a rifle and hunting bag without being taken for a burglar car rying oft em a just aa 11 la possible to be seen going with policemen In the city without being mistaken for one of them. It seemed too good to be true, and It wasn't, for a young man with a family in Yaqulna wai carrying two tlrds whose feathers were not in style at the time, according to the fashion set by the state and followed by her wardens. He walked right into Jim Catena, the nicest man a fellow ever hated. "Darks" Carried as Evldeare. "Nice ducks, ain't they?" ald Jim. "Worth about 2S 'bucks' to the state." They reserved seats on the next train leaving for the county seat, where they went to see If a Judge could be made to work long enough to settle the argu ment. On the train was the Sheriff and a few innocent passengers, whose sympathy. It Is said, went out to the culprit. At Toledo, their destination. Warden Gatcne cached the two ducka in a sack, in! then led bis prisoner off to Jail, while he went to hunt up a legal referee. In due time a wide-awake Judge was found. In bed. and soon afterward a crowd was assembled In the courtroom. Among those who had seats in the front row were the warden, his pris oner and Jim Koss, the Sheriff.

Warden Gatena made his charge and then, reaching into the sack, said: "This Is where I get my evidence." There was gloom in the prisoner's expression, the penitentiary honor sys tem waa not In vogue In the County Jail, and there was no pleasure In go ing to prison. Withdrawing hie hands. Catena, the Judse. the people, and especially the Sheriff, were horrified to see two whis ky bottles wrapped In cloth In the Warden'a handa. Court was adjourned and all hands had a drink.
