The Annual Slaughter OF Game.

1t is apparent that the northern and
central parts Of Wyoming are again to
be invaded this season by large hunting
parties, who will, as they have done in
former years, slaughter and destroy our
game wantonly. This has heretofore
been done with impunity, for the reason
that civil authority did not extend to
those hunting grounds; but as johnson
county is now duly organized and has a
full set of officers to enforce the law,
we trust that a stop will be put to this
vandalism and slaughter. Game of all
kinds is gradually disappearing from
our territory, and unless we foster and
and protect what remains, our W
people on the frontier will soon be
without this important food supply.
Our laws are strict on this subject, and
they should be properly enforced; no
matter whether the offending party is
the inspector-general Of the United
States army, II some lord from the
kingdom Of Great Britain. A fine of
fifty to ave hundred dollars, or impris-
onment for one to six months, for each
offense. would soon teach these law
breakers q lesson which they would not
forget. The fines collected under this
law are divided between the complain
ant and the school fund of the county;
the proper officers, therefore, have adj
ditional reason, why they should strict
ly andippartially enforce the game law,
and project our own citizens against
the wanton acts of non-residents.
The law forbids the killing or de-
stroying Of any elk, deer, mountain
sheep or antelope, at aug time, for any
purpose, under any pretert whatsoever,
except for food, and then only ,chen ne
cessary for human Subsistence. 1t is
also unlawful to let or cause any por-
ton Of these animals to 60 to waste.
wide chap. 50 compiled laws of wyo-
ming.)
In former years, game has not only
been killed in large quantities, but the
carcasses have been left rotting on our
hills and plains; slaughter having
been the only object of these anna
teur hunters. This nefarious practice
should cease; and the LEADER calls
upon all those intrusted with the en-
forcement Of laws, to do their ut
most to put q stop to this cruel and
needless. destruction Of u wild game.

August 30, 1881.
To he Editor Cheyenne Leadas
CAUGHT AT LAsF.-For . Long time
. number Of ths ofzcsn and enlisted
men Of this post have been annoyed by
the loss Of valuable articles In q mys-
FERROUS manner. Suspicion was very
strongly attached to a soldier of the
garrison. and he has OF late been closely
watched Last Sunday morning this
man had occasion to visit the post of
Camp Carlin- Acting on the suspicion
against him. which had been strength
ened by his conduct during the past
three or four days. a party forced open
his trunk during his absence, and
found in it q number of the missing ar
ticles- This circumstance was imme-
diately reported, and the stage which
was in readiness to make its daily trip
to Cheyenne, wal boarded by a file of
the guard and an officer who went In
pursuit Of the accused He was soon
overtaken, bulldozed into a partial con-
fession, taken back to the post, and
lodged IN Q cell In the guard house,
where be - now safe under lock and
key and the eyes Of the vigilant sentry,
There are many and conflicting rumors
as to the number Of articles he had
stolen, and exaggerated statements as tc
their value. We WIN only name those
which be himself admits were taken,
namely-two diamond rings, two pins,
and a meerschaum pipe. These val
uables were stolen in the day time from
the residences of the officers during
their absence; and, IL we can believe
bis own statement, without much ef-
fort; for he says be ''saw the thing
laying there and took them.n None
of the above articles were disposed Of
for money, and will all be reclaimed,
This man vas employed as a servant
for one Of the officers of the post, and
was thus enabled to carry on a system
of stealing TO good advantage, as his
appearance around the officers quar-,
tiers would not be likely to excite Jus.
picion. 4
1t may not be necessary to moralIzt
over this affair, but it seems to us thai
officers and others having valuablei
should take a lesson from 1t, and pro
vide better security for their propert,
in the future. We can but express sor
row for the young man In his misfor.
tune and the penalty that awaits him
though we feel rejoiced, for the sake O.
others. that his guilt has been discoy.
