WHAT IS I HE PROOF?
"Proof of the . pudding is in
the eating," so. have often
been told. If . there, is; no other
proof a certain' game warden
may have trouble to , make his.
charges good, against a couple.of
Linn county hunters. A' few
days ago a couple of hunters and
trappers, were brought from their
winter quarters in the. Cascade
mountains to. Albany and . fined.
$40 on the charge of killing deer
and. having venison in their pos
session out of season.
The hunters protested, but to
no avail. Now we hear that the
case will be appealed on. the
1.1 . 1 1 i J! J i.
ground tnau tne nuncers aia not
have in their possession venison,
but that the meat supposed to be
venison was in reality bear meat.
This claim will likely be based
on the supposed ignorance of the
game warden making the arrest.
We near that the warden did not
eat any of the meat in question
and using the logic employed in
the assertion that. . " all coons
look alike," we would ask if all
meat "looks alike" to the
average deputy game warden? If
it does not look alike, how is he
to establish proof of, the differ
ence in this case without having
in court samples, of deer and
bear meat? It will. 'be,; unlaw
ful for the warden to kill a deer
and the chances are that he could
not locate a bear before the next
term of court.
It may be remarked that the
warden started to civilization
with what he claims was venison
as well as the men supposed to
have killed it. The meat was
stolen from the warden while the
party were en route from the
mountains. This will be a point
in favor of the . warden, as the
suspicion will be that the men
may have , been instrumental, in
the disappearance of the meat,
, bear or venison, whichever it
was.
Exploring Expedition.
Tuesday morning Mrs.- W. H. Dilley,
who resides in the southern portion of
this city, phoned Chief Lane that a
couple of strange boys were hanging out
alon the banks of Marys river just
above t.he bridge. The chief repaired ti
the premises, accompanied by. another
gentlemen, and after something of a
search, located ti-.e camp of the boys.
Two lads, 10 or li yrars of age were
discovered. They had a very small fire
going in a sort of cave under the roots of
a tree that was. overhanging the bank
and everything indicated that they had
gOHe into winter quarters. That they
were romantic youths goes without say
ing. They were supplied with a couple
of cheap rifles, had a hatchet.Ja bad look
ing knife, a steeltrap and a' few other
tnings that, we are informed by "Nick
Carter" are necessary to complete th.
outfit of boys who g- Into the wilderness
to win fame and fcne.
They were truthfol in answer to all
q-ieetions put them hr Chief Lane.
They had been in camp there for some
two or three days and their homes are in
or near .Vlbiny. - They bad some money
and ha 1 purchased cookies a-d the like
at ou'if our bakeries. It ii repor ed
that they had shot a yellowhammor,
Which up lw Haiti of tfieir cautnre had
furnished an abundance of fresh meat for
camp.
Unlike mot boj s "Xick drier" tells
of, tin se Jads entered captivity without
a struggle on ihu advent of the chief arid
camp was soon deserted. Right here it
may - flr.iing to rejoice in the fact that
tho boys had not wandered far from
civilization- they were barely " without
the city limits.
Cmef Line hrongli.t tliem down town
' and phoned parties in Albany, receiving
word to hold ihe youngsters pending the
arrival of somebody to take charge of
them. Mr. Lane took them home with
Mm for a noon-day luncheon. He says
that the manner in which the young
trail blazers" ate indicated that they
had not degenerated during their camp
life in the wilds of lli-ys river to. such
an extent: that real 'h.vme ookiog did
appeal to them. In eh'rt, they both
seemed hearty eaters, l.i the midst of
the meal there camo a rap at the door
and a kindly looking old gentleman ap
peared, stating that he v as looking for a
couple of boys and desired information of
their whereabout, if such wer? known.
By ay of answer Mr Lane showed him
the boyp. ,
. Tableau! There was a most affecting
reconciliation. The old gentleman was
almost overcome by his emotions, while
the boys cried in, their jay. It was dei
ligi.tful to gaze npnn a familiar face after
so long an hermitage. Finallv between
tears and laughter, tiie lads finished
their meal, and were ready to depart tor
h-mie. .
William Morgan, the eentleman who
came from Albany tr the boys, was a
nic appearing person: He stated that
while the escapade of the lads, had.
caused 'great anxiety, the little fellows
were not bad boys. The things they
bad with them they came by honestly,
even, to the iart, peny in their posses
sion, They djHi no.harro; while camped
along the limits of this city. The trip
from Albany to Corvallis was made on
foot.
1 Well, well the youngsters are. "now
home. That -they may grpw np to be
useful and, respectable men, we. sincerely
hope, hut that they win ever uve long
enough to forget the time they went into
the wilds of Marvs river in quest of the
pelts of beasts and scalps of the redskin
is a matter of grave doubt.
