FOREST RANGERS
DEER POACHERS
Complaints Lead to investigation by
Game Wardens, Who Secure
Convincing Evidence.
That forest rangers are the worst
slayers of deer out of season is the
complaint of many ranchers, who at
lege that a few of the rangers busy
themselves, when not spying on
homesteaders and starting contests
by illegnly shooting deer.
So frequent were the complaints,
that Game Warden Chas. Gay and
Sam Sandry made a visit to Brown's
cabin, on Union Creek, the hcadtiunr
tors of the rangers, and secured ev
idence sufficient to convict at least
one ranger and possibly two, for
shooting deer out of season.
The mutter was reported to Dis
trict Atorney Mulkcy, who advised
that complaints be Hied before the
justice of tho peace and tho case
tried out. They will be filed in the
next day or two. pending which, the
names will not be made public.
W. S. Johnson, past -master in gas

that his many patrons may rest as
sured that the same high standard
of service that has characterized the
establishment in the past will still be
maintained.

$600 for right-of-way for the gravity
pipe une across nis Butte Creek farm.
The city had previously offered a
larger sum.
The jury retired at 11:1.0 o'clock
to consider the amount of damages to
no awarded.
At 10 o'clock Judge Coke opened
court and the city placed Engineers
W. J. Roberts and Irving Worthing-'
ton on the stand. They testified that
the right-of-way wonld be 30 feet in
width and about two miles in length,
that the hill land crossed was worth
about $10 per acre, and the bottom
land $100. They stated that the
trench could be refilled and the land
not mnterinly damaged bv the con
struction of the pipe line.
JNo evidenco was ottered by the de
fense, and it is evidently Hanley's in
tention to follow one of the courses
indicated in the Tribune, presumably
to, tic the matter up by injunction
pproceodings, until opinion is render
ed by the supreme court, hoping thin
to force the city to accept his terms.
The jury spent Thursday in visit
