ECHoEs or ruE ELECTION


We have been unable TO get the
official returns by counties OF the
election held in this judicial circuit
for criminal Judge, but Judge Tay-
lor informs us by letter that his
majority will be between I 1000 and
LOO. This is a great victory for
the Democrats, as the circuit gave
"a majority over Governor Turney
Of over 200 two years ago. The
Democratic gain is nearly 1900.
Z The majority for the Democratic
ticket in the State judicial election
is still climbing. Official returns
from II counties shows "a majority
of 25,842 for the Democratic can
didates for appellate judges. The
Democrats made a gain Of nearly
10000 in East Tennessee.
The result Of the Congressional
primary il still in doubt. Both
sides claim the nomination by small
majorities. Congressionalcom-
mittee will meet next Monday, and
the result of the primary viii then
be made known.

A COMMUNICATION.
Comments On the Washington County
Game Possession Case.
Features To Be Considered In Interests o.
Fish and Game Laws.

The following is communication from
Maine Sportsmen S Fish and Game
Association, to the Hon. E. f. Timber
lake. chairman of the committee on legis
lation of the association:
The most important game law decision,
which has ever been rendered by the
courts of Maine, was made January go
by the supreme judicial court of Maine,
Judge HASKELL drawing the opinion.
1t was agreed to submit the cases In
volved to the law court, and a statement
of facts was agreed upon. 1t was the
Nv Washington county" case, where four
men, Geo. W. Buchanan Bion B. lib
belts, Willard E. Bailey and Harley Wor-
cester, all of Columbia Falls, were arrested
in 1894, for having SO deer in their posses
sion, not being market men.
They were fined sl240, $40, $40 and
1910 respectfully. Each appealed, and if
the law court found that jury could
convict them under the statement of facts,
the case would stand for trial; otherwise
they were to be discharged.
For the purposes of this case it was ad
mitted that the said eighty-nine deer were
lawfully killed in the open season OF
1894; that each of the respondents during
the open season of 1894, prior to the 18th
day of December, had had in his posses
sion the carcasses of at least three deer
and that neither of said respondents were
then and there market men.
The court says, the only question pre-
sented is whether the statute, (Revised
Statutes, chapter 80, section 12,as amend
ed by act of 1891, chapter 95, section ~
makes possession an offense. The statute
reads as follows:
"No person shall take kill, destroy, or
have ia possession between the first days
of October and January more than one
moose, two caribou, and three deer, under
a penalty of 500 for every moose, and $40
for every caribou or deer, or parts thereof
50 taken, killed, destroyed, or in posses
sion in excess of said number. Whoever
has in possession, except alive, more than
the aforesaid number of moose, caribou or
deer, or parts thereof shall be deemed to
have killed or destroyed them in violation
of law But nothing in this section shall
prevent any market man or provision
dealer, having an established place of
business in this State, from purchasing
and having in possession at his said place
OF business. not exceeding one moose, two
caribou, and three deer lawfully caught,
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1896-02-15

to our game interests, although the full
scope of the decision may not be fully
understood 1t places the validity of our
game laws in doubt, and the remedy,
possibly difficult.
That the case may be moro fully under
stood it is well to quote section thirteen
of the law on game. 1t is as follows:
1881, C %, See. 13. No person or
corporation shall carry or transport from
place to place any moose, caribou or deer
or part thereof in close time, nor in open
time unless open to view, tagged and
plainly labelled with the name of the
owner thereof, and accompanied by him.
under penalty Of forty dollars; and any
person, not the actual owner of such game
or part thereof who, to aid another in
such transportation falsely represents
himself to be the owner shall be liable to
the penalties aforesaid"
The language of this section, seems to
be explicit, but if as the court says, the
having in possession game legally killed,
is not an offcnse, the question will natur-
ally arise. if the game is legally in pos
session, whatever the quantity, has not
the owner right to transport it.
The language of the court where it
says, "While the enactment by its letter,
makes the possession Of more than one
moose. two caribou and three deer at
any time, an offense, the context of 1t
must not be overlooked in determining
the scope and meaning of the whole
statute. But one penalty for killing,
having in possession, and transporting
could have been intended, and that applies
to the illegal capture of the game. "
While the case was before the court, under
the section first quoted, (section 12) and
the right of possession only passed upon,
this declaration of the judge seems to
carry the idea that the whole statute, was
considered in drawing the opinion
Therefore, a doubt must continue to
exist, till the right to transport, under
section -, has been decided, whether a
person may not not only have any
amount of said game in possession, but
transport the same to market Especially
may there be forca in this, if destined to
another state, as the interstate commerce
law, might give the protection desired to
allow transportation.
The same principle here established
would apply with equal force to our fish
laws and small game and opan up the mar
kets of this and other states, to such de-
gree, as to destroy the great interests In
game and fish, which annually brings
millions of dollars to the State of Maine
