nil equipment, real estate, etc. It is
dated July 1, 1014. This is ono of
tho first lcgul steps tuken in con
junction with the merger.
Names of witnesses who are alleg
ed to have hoard Loris Martin, game
poaching murderer of Game Warden
A. S. Hubbard, make death threats
against his victim, arc being collected
by the prosecutor's office to appear
before the February grand jury.
Some of these witnesses come from
Ashland, somo from this city, and
some from Gold Hill, nnd will bo tint
one of the links in the chains of evi
denco the state will wrap around the
notorious defier of game laws.
Though Martin is safe behind the
bars of the county jail, bis influence
is still felt in the Trail district, lies-
idents of that section gave Coroner
Kellogg valuable tips, but always
with the admonishment that their
names be withheld, for fear of tho
wrath of Martin's friends, and those
who hold the same contcraut for the
gnino laws. Martin's boastings of
his prowess with a ciin were regular
fentur.es of his rare visits to civil
ization from his mountain cabin.
In one of the local banks, it is
said, Martin has on deposit between
$2000 nnd $3000, his life savings
from the sale of skins nnd lynching.
nnd this nmount he will spend in try
ing Wi escape n life terra in state's
prison.
Close examination of the coat
Hubbard wore whetwhe met his death
shows that it wns buttoned to the
throat, a bullet hole passing through
both lapels, with a downward slant,
disproving Martin's contention that
ho saw the butt of Hubbard's re
volver, when hu fired.
The funeral services of Game
Warden Hubhun) were held from
Asiiinnu lucsilny nttcmoon under
the auspices of the Elks, many in
tending from this city.
