Shall 1t Continue ?

What's left Of the deer are now NOV
ing down toward their winter quarters
and the annual slaughter by market
hunters, hide-hunteTs aud other Illegal
hunters will soon commence, if measures
are not taken 10 prevent reOccurance
of the past two wears, when often as
many as ten wagon loads 0! yenizOn
day were hauled out from Piceance
creek by way Of HOrgau's. This whole
sale slaughter OF deer can be stopped if
the state game warden and his deputies
will attend 10 their duties. If they viii
not then the permanent settlers OF this
county should take the matter into their
own hands. Last year large number
Of cattle were found shot on the Pice-
ance range, whether killed accidentally
or maliciOusly Is not known, but that
the hunters described above have be-
came an intOleTable nuisance is no
tOriOus. Fences have been torn down
and pastures inyaded-in fact, nothing
escapes the rapaciOus pot and hide
hunter vino inyades the county in the
fall. Citizens should organize for self
protection, since it is not probable that
the proper authorities will do their duty.
