Lans Leneve, who has been at work
for the U. J3 government for nearly
a year in making war on predatory
wild animals, and doing excellent
work, says that during the past week
some of his traps have been molested
far the first time during the year.
In fact four traps, out of the 22 he
set
in
the
Riverton
vicinity,
have been stolen.
He had already
taken eight bobcats and coyote* there,
out his good work seems not to have
been appreciated by some people.
Whether the thieves were moved by a
desire to get some traps for their own
use, or by friendship for the var
mint* is not clear.
At any rate the miscreants, who be
friended the coyotes, were probably
ignorant of the fact that the United
State* government protect* these

than $500 or imprisonment in a fed
