DEER HAVE A CLOSED SEASON Report that Deer Hunting is all the Year Sport De nied by Attorney General SKERRETT GETS HIS RELEASE Pact That he Kept Cash in Socks Nol Considered Sufficient Evidence To Hold him on Charge of Arson - II. C . Skerrett, charged with arson in connection with the burning of the 'odging house nt Bunker hill recently, was released after a hearing before Justice of the Peace C. L. Ponnock yesterday afternoon. There was prac 'ticully no evidence presented to in any way connect Skerrett with the charge made against him. Tho crowd which swarmed the court room greeted the dismissal with applause and shower ed congratulations upon the freed man At hte time Skerrett was arrested $570 was found on his person despite the fact that he had claimed to be broko for some time punt. This was egarded as a suspicious circumstance but during the trial the source of the money was divulged by the defence but despite the proof the prosecution confined to pound at this point. All of the evidence presented to the court was of a general nature and form the first it was evident that there was nothing on which to hold Skerrett Attorney McNight for tho defence made the motiouu for the dismissal and it was at once entertained by the court. There is considerable misunderstand ing relative to the game law as it af fects the hunting of deer and many people arc, under the impression that there is no closed season for deer at all. The facts are the opposite and there is nothing in the, acts of the last two legislatures permitting the hunting of deer out of season as is evidenced by the following from tho state fish and game warden. On February Gth Deputy Game Warden E. p. Hills of Eugene ar rested John Hawk for having the carcass of a deer in possession. The case was taken up before Justice of the Peace, Jesse G. Wells of Eugene Mr. WcIIb ordered a directed verdict of " not guilty", claiming that we have no law against having deer meat in possession out of season. It was claimed that the law in regard to having deer meat in possession was repealed by the 1913 session of the Legislature. The report was pub- ished in various newspapers through out the state that there is no provis- n tho state to prevent the killing of deer out ,of season or in season. This is not true. According to the attorney general George M. Brown, deer are fully pro tected under the present law, and it is not true that the 1913 legislature re pealed the law giving full protection to deer. Chapter 232 of tho laws of 1913, SPj."'j"!k 1V irtnragraph. (a),- provides: ( "It shall be lawful within the state of Oregon to hunt during the open season therefor, but at no oth er time, the following game animals and birds." The law therefore very plainly states that if a man is arrested for having game birds or game animals or any portion thereof, in possession during tho closed season, it shall be prima facie evidence of guilt, and the burden of proof rests with the defend ant to show to the jury .that he did not come by his game illegally. The attorney general concludes his opinion, as follows. "That any person violating Hiiy of the provisions of the act known as chapter 232, shall be guilty of . a misdemeanor and prescribing a pen alty for said crime, it is clearly made criminal to kill female deer,' spotted fawns, or young deer of the first year, at all times, and .that deer with horns may be lawfully killed only from August 1st to Oct ober 31st of each ear, and it is a crime to kill horned deer at any other time'." NINETEEN FOURTEEN HAS BEEN WET Amount of Rainfall Exceeds That of Past Two Years Some Dry. Years Ahead A Few Are Left Tnere were three chances to leave town today for San Francisco and the Fair yet there does nbt seem to be any appreciable thinning of our pop ulation. The Elizabeth, the Brooklyn and tho Patsy all left Bandon today, southward bound. Tho records given below indicate that this section of Oregon has been a triflle wetter this winter than for the past two seasons. This may doubt less be' excused on the score that as Oregon is to 'be "dry" next year we might as well be wet while we can. Coquille River Light Station March 1st, 1915 To the Editor of the Bandon Recorder: Tho rainfall for the month of Feb ruary was' 5.30 inches. Days rainy and cloudy and partly cloudy, were 25: clear .'I. Tho rainfall for the corresponding month of 1914 was 4.98, a difference of .38 in excess of last year. The total rainfall from Sept. 1st, 1914 to March 1st, 1915 was 42.01 inches. The rainfall for the same period of 1913-14 was 41.22 inches, a difference of 1.39 inches less in 1913-14. While tho rainfall for the same period be ginning 1912 was 30.40. The excess in 1914 over 1912 was 0.15 inches. Respectfully, O. Wircn Co-operative observer looay was pay day with the tie makers and many of them are in from the woods to draw their semi-monthly wages. What Patsy Spells The gasoline schooner Patsy which came into the river from the north with freight from Portland and other points, obtained her name in a curious way. Portland, Astoria, Tillamook, Sitislaw and Yaquinna are points on her route and her name in obtained by taking the first letter of each of these names in their order named. This government record will settle the argument now common anions Bandonians relative to tho wettest season.

Times have a dull looking aspect and we should try to make our own sunshine. When there is no flattering outlook abroad ve should fall back on our own resources and be prepared to take the tide of prosperity when it comes. Tho labor required for the work is here, the timber is here and it is to the interest of the people of the Coquille valley. Captain Jorgensen of the schooner Long, desires to express his appreci ation of the work of the crew of the life saving station here on the occas ion of his vessel going on to the spit at the -mouth of the river last week. Captain Nelson had a surf boat (launched and the crew at the oars in just four minutes from the time of the firing of the signal gun.

Company K will give a grand mili tary ball In their armory at thin place on Saturday evening, April 30th, IfSl- George W. Moore was one of the arrivals on tho Elizabeth Saturday night, coming up from his home in Berkley for a brief visit in Bandoi to look after his property interest here. Ihe mill which the Moore interests- operated at Toledo was closed down recently. Mr. Moore says that while he hated to have to close down tho mill hero in Bandon it was a mucl more distressing thing to have to close down at Toledo. Here there ia some money coming in and tho inhab itants of this section can get nlong until times improve, but at Toledo the situation is very bad and the shut ting down of the mill makes much more of a hardship The San Francisco lumber market at present is $2 per thousand under the cost of production from which it may be surmised that the market must experience a decided change be fore there is any renewal of activity in the lumber industry in Oregon. "I can see no indications at the present time that point to any mark ed improvement in the lumber market naid Mr. Moore. "Times are bad all along the coast and the outlook sonic what discouraging, but it cannot last forever." A PLEASANT SOCIAL EVEN INC Was That Given Friday Evening al Mr. and Mrs. E .11. Kausrud's Prof. Tiirnbow, now principal of tho Coiiilllii high taihool and who lia been (dented nilperlnlenileiit ut the Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Kausrud and Miss Elizabeth Rodgers entertained a few of the younger set at the Kaus rud home on Franklin avenue, Friday evening. I'rogressivo "1)00" was the game of tho evening and the first prize for tho ladies was won by Miss Lena Langlois while Thomas Nielson was rewarded for tho gentlemen's high score. Following a very delightful luncheon the guests joined in several musical numbers before bidding their host mid hostesses good night. Those present were Mrs. Thomas Nielson and Misses Aline Norean, Kate Chatburn, Pearl Walker, Maude Lowe, Uwidretli, Lena Langlois, Glad ys Strader, Helen Whitford, Esther Solve, Nora Solve, McKay and Ebha Wiren. Messrs. Thos, Nielson, Wright, Morrel Jumison, Lentnor Gal lior1, Thos. I.'iird, Carl Bowman, A. I. Mills, Archie Rosa, Lloyd Rosa, Har old Quigloy, Harry Craiu and ErnoHt Hldvvell. For the first time in three years Bandon high school defeated the Co quille high school at basketball at home when the locals won the con test Saturday evening, 33 to 11 and and thus gained revenge on the 31 to 13 defeat administered by Coquille on their homo floor five weeks ago. Four hundred people crowded into the Dreamland pavillion to witness the game Saturday evening, about 150 of whom' were supporters of the visiting team. Working like clock work Bandon took the lead early in the first half and at no time in the game was it close and neither was it .is one sided as the score might indi cate. Coquille was game and fought until the last, although weakened by the loss of Watson, their star guard, and working under the disadvantage of playing on a slick floor. At the same time they were outclassed and the Bandon boys passed, dribbled and jhot baskets like veterans. Towards the last, the game became jlightly rough and first Windsor and then Avery were out of the gume for the time limit, but this was more the cause of shear exhaustion from the fast pace than from intentional roughness. From the scoring stand point Leslie Pullcn was the star of the game, four field baskets and five foul throws out of six chances were chalked up behind his name. Wind sor, with six field goals to his credit, was the second high point man. Nor ton made 9 out of the 11 points scor ed for the Coquille team, but was weak from the foul lino,' throwiny on ly 5 out of 12 free chances. The drib bling of Webb as well as his floor work had much to do with the victory for the home team, while Chatburn's work at guard was all that could bo expected. In the preliminary game between the second teams of the two schools Bandon was also successful winning by the score of 28 to 3. Sup erior team work also won this game. Co quille is now practically elimi nated from the championship running and the fight for the rag now lies be tween Bandon and Marshficld. Ban- Ion has two more games to play, one each with North Bend nnd Marsh field which will be played on Vriday ind Saturday evenings of this week cspectivcly. In these games- Bandon will bo nt a disadvantage of playing on a strange lloor, nut Glioma tliey put up tho class of game they did Sat urday evening they will come homo without a defeat. The more proba ble outcome, however is that Bandon will be tied with Marshficld at tho end of the season, making it neces- ary for an extra gameto be played. The contested game between Bandon and Myrtle Point has not yet been de cided and .there is a possibility that the game will have to be played over. The lino up for tho first game Sat urday evening was: 1 Many of the Cnquillo young people who camii up to attend tho banket hall game Saturday night, inadn tho night of it.
