1t will be remembered that two
weeks ago Game Warden Clark
seized forty deer hides found in
tie possession OF James johnson. AT
the time there was some question as
to the legality Of the proceeding IS
johnson had not been previously known
as = traficker in hides. In order to get
legal opinion on the point, Mr.. Clark
brought the johnson case before the
state game warden and that Official
took it before the attorney general, and
the latter has rendered an opinion
which sets forth. that having possession
OF deer or other game hides constitutes
an ofIense against the statute. The
attorney general also advised that here
after the game wardens institute in dis
trict courts all prosecutions for viola
tion of the game law. So the johnson
case and others OF similar character will
be heard at the next sitting Of Judge
Fuckers court in this county.

Is missing in your home:
Familiar footsteps no more heard
Father VIII no more return.
He launched his barque on Jordan's wave:
He stemmed the swelling tide:
In safety reached the shining shore,
Just On the other side.
He anchored safe at close of day,
Within the Harbor fair;
Escaped from all the sins OF earth.
Its suffering and its care.
'Tis hard to part from those we love;
1t causes many sigh,
To look into the dying face
And say the last goodbye.
He cannot come to you again.
But you TO him can go,
where tears are wiped from every eye
And parting none shall know.
Funeral will take place Friday afternoon
At O'Clock. Service will be held in the
church OF which he was pastor.
