Carcasses of Two Deer Slain
Near Freyer Cabin Are
Found Hidden.
HUGHES PAYS A FINE
Roy Hughes Pleads Guilty of Violat
ing tiiune Ij)vs and Freyer Ktutes
Tluit He Will Do the Same as '
Soon As Wound Is Healed.
The two deer which, It Is claimed,
were killed by Douglas Tapp and Roy
Hughes, prior to the fight which
ended in the taking of Tapp's life,
were found Tuesday night by Deputy
Game Wardens Walker and Loar, and
Hughes was fined $50 for having
killed them, while a complaint has
been placed against Wallace Freyer
who will appear In court as soon as
his wound hoals sufficiently to allow
him to go before Justic-i Taylor at
Elkton.
Tne game wardens followed the
sheriff and coroner to the house and
made a careful search of the prem
ises. They found nothing there and
continued their search Into the woods
adjoining the house. In a gulch about
three hundred yards below the cabin
they found the two deer, the moat
having been dressed out and quar
tered.. The person who removed It
from1 the cabin did not attempt to
hide It securely but just threw It out
unon the ground, where It was found
frozen and in fine condition. It was
brought back and turned over to the
manager of the county home where
i the Inmates enjoyed a fine feast to
day. '
Going to the other Freyer cabin
about four miles below, where Freyer
Is now located, a portion of another
deer was found.
The game wardens went on Into
Flktnn where they made a complaint
against Hughes who entered a plea of
guilty and paid a $50 fine and costs.
A complaint was also made out
against Freyer who told Mr. Walker
that as soon as he Is able ho will ap
pear before Judge Taylor and enter
a plea of guilty.
Mr. Walker states that in the
event Young Is released from Jail
following circuit court, he will be Im
mediately arrested again on a charge
of violating the game laws.
People in the Elkton vicinity are
greatly divided over the klling, Mr.
Walker states. Relatives of the slain
man claim that It was a case of mur
der and that Tapp was hit In the
head with an axe after being shot.
while others claim that Tapp was to
blame and that the case was one jf
self defense.

The afternoon session of the W.
C. T. V. conference held yesterday
In honor of the second anniversary
of national prohibition was one of
the most Interesting, helpful and In
spiring meetings held In a long time.
When the business men at the noon
hour reviewed the conditions when
the saloons were In Rosebuig and the
present conditions of our clean and
beautiful city with its miles of paving
and every nook and corner occupied
aud people searching every day for
some place to live, showing where
men before spent their money for
gambling and drink spend their mon
ey now for medicine, food and cloth
ing, they think It Is better to have
silk shirts, silk stockings and skirts, j
than have men detach themselves
and also deprive their families of
the very necessities of lite. hlle
they are satisfied that we would like
to see higher moral conditions exist,
It Is only what might be expected aft
er the most terrible war the world
has ever known, and they have no
Idea of going back to even light wines
and beer, but to stand firm for law
enforcement and to back our officers
in the same.
The Instrumental solo by Miss
James was appreciated, also the en
chore. The devotions led by Mrs.
I). L. Eddy were a spiritual uplift.

our lives to do best service to our
country and humanity. - The White

ferent times during the program and
was much enjoyed. Rev. L,. U. quick
in his. address," emphasized the Im
portance of the woman using their
right of franchise In suppertlng tne

home training for reverence In the
children for sacred things, was one
of the most deplorable situations at
the nresent. and while the churcn

moulding character the homo Is
greater. A duet by Mrs. J. J. Uetts
and Mrs. C. W. Groves or tne uicn
varv union was enloved.
Rev. H. A. Hutchinson was unable
to be present on account of being
called to preach the funeral of the
late Douglas Tapp. In his letter ex
pressing bis regrets at not being
present, many helpful suggestions

terly address on "Is Law To Be Sov
ereign In tho U. S." Among his
strong points he emphasized the im
portance of men when elected by the
people to hold a certain office and
enforce the lawe on our Btatute
books, that they be loyal to that of
fice, that they should not question
the law. It was put there by the
people and should be enforced end
deplored that any officer should Ig
nore the confidence put In him by
giving It up for the sake of money
whether It be moving pictures or
anything else. He paid high tribute
to the women of the W. C. T. U. for
their persistence In their labors for
better morals, laws, etc.. It was
brought out by a number of the
speakers, the lack of the antl-ctgar-
ette laws enforcement, and that the
W. C. T. U. was lax In their duty
In helping to enforce this law. It was
suggested that county and local Juv
enile officers be reminded of their
dutv. Extracts from a recent Issue
of the Oregonian In regard to the
growing evil and peril of this habit
was read and discussed. A vote of
appreciation for the stand of the Ore
gonian was unanimous, also appre
ciation for our own News-Keview was
not lacking. The heatlh talk given
by Mrs. H. O. Wilson was profitable
and restrul, showing tne ainercni
phases of the W. C. T. U. work.
Rev. C. H. Hilton's address on "Take

and fitting to the present day needs
and we are glad that we are to have
It printed In full- In another Issue.
