ELK HIDES MIE CAPTURED
Deputy Game Warden Seeks Man
Formerly of Forest Grove.
HILLSBORO, Or., Jan- 31. (Special.)
George W. Russell, of Gaston, deputy
game warden, found four elk pelts In
a barrel at the Van Antwerp home in
Forest Grove this week and a warrant
has been issued for a man who left that
city about four years ago, moving to
Portland and from 'there to a point on
the east side of the Southern Pacific
Railway.
The pelta were left at the Antwerps
by this man Just prior to his leaving
Forest Grove. They were neatly
packed and were dressed for mounting,
proof that they were destined for a
taxidermist as indications are that all
were from bull elks. It is supposed
that the owner also had the antlers
cached away. The htdes were prime
notwithstanding their four years of se
clusion, and evidently bad been treated
with a preservative. The man in ques
tion formerly, lived in Patton Valley
and was noted as a hunter. His name
was not divulged by the authorities.
The four mounts would have been
worth several hundred dollars.
