The second arrest within four
days on charges of Illicit hand
ling of deer hides was made in
Medford yesterday by Deputy
State Game Wardens Parr and
Dally, when John Boggls, a resi

When arraigned before Justice

Medford. Boggis plead guilty to
the charge, and was fined 825
and costs.
According tq the wardens, the
law provides that evory hide
held in this, state must have a
game tax affixed to it. These
tags are put on by the game
wardens, and are used in provid
ing that the deer was* legally
taken.
A drive Is being made now
upon those possessed of such
hides, since there has been a
great deal of buying and selling
