New Game Warden Is Taking World
of Trouble for Pot Hunters.

OF trouble Tor POT hunters.
A. J. D. Burford, the new game
and fish warden of Missouri, has on
his war paint, according to the sto-
ries told by late arrivals in the city
from southeast Missouri, says the
Republic. In that section of the
state alone he has lately obtained
over 200 convictions for violations
of the game law, and he announces
that as soon as he is through with
this class Of Iawbreakers he will
give a matinee. for the benefit Of
the school fund, with those who
have violated the fish law for actors.
All fines collected from prosecu-
tions for violations Of the game and
fish laws 60 to the school fund.
Mr.. Burford, even this early in
his career as a state official, has
caused a regular stampede among
the pot hunters and the men who
kill fish with dynamite, and his
friends promise that he has not
yet fairly warmed up to his work.
He seems to be able to convict
every person against whom he files
information, and he possesses re-
markable facilities for finding out
who the lawbreakers are.
When the next general assembly
convenos an effort will be made to
provide the game and fish warden
with a suitable salary and place
some funds at his command for the
employment of deputies in locali-
ties and at seasons of the year when
they are needed. Now he receives
nothing but fees, and 'at best his
labor is poorly paid for. One OBJ
lection heretofore made to giving
the game and fish warden stated
salary was that the law would not
be enforced anyway, and so there
was no use in throwing money
away. Itappears that Mr.. Burford
has met this objection by proving
that be will enforce the laws, even
when poorly paid for so doing. ~
The game and fish laws have been
more openly and persistently viola.
ted in southeast Missouri than in all
other parts Of the state combined
Heretofore it has been the practice
of pot hunters to kill game in that
section of the state, in season and
out of season, and ship the same to
tho market without the least regard
/ for tho requirements of law. Mr.
Burtord has planted his heavy ar
tillery In that section, and with
1873 deputies is making life n bur-
don TO the pot hunters, and also to
the game dealers who undertake. 10
ship game killed out Of season.
Now II IL said this class Of Offend
ers are beginning 10 realize that tho
Legislature did not enact tho game
and llsh law 10 bo laughed at, and
they are looking for moro congon'

EDITOR PREss-DEAR SIR: If you
have the space to spare in your val
liable paper I would like to say a
few words to my dear old Missouri
friends, one and all.
| was born and reared in Boiling
er county, and can say l am proud
of my native state. To be a Mis-
sourian is distinction every son
and daughter of the grand old state
should cherish with fondness.
There lie the remains of the par
ents / lovrd and honored, and there,
after their death, the poor orphan
girl found kind friends who did all
in their power to make her burdens
light. My once happy little homo
was broken up and l was sad and
desolate, tut they took me by the
hand and helped me to bear my
many sorrows. And through their
encouragement l was enabled to
start out and fight the battle of life.
Through no fault Of my own my ed
ucation was limited, for an invalid
mother needed my attention and l
am proud that it was cheerfully ac-
corded her, and after the many
heavy burdens and cares on the
farm, found that my health was
liable to give way. At that time l
well remember fate seemed to be
against me. -------------->
As,1 have said, everybody was
kind to me, but ] may be pardoned
if / especially mention the family
and home of George u. Clark, for
there / was cared for in times of
myk kdirest straits. To them | ows
b debt Of gratitude | can neyar->fe-
pay. -,-.-,.--.----,
But ! am now enjoying the home
and protection of u kind and affec-
Tomato husband, the lover of my
childhood. We are located in the
beautiful valley Of the Lost river,
surrounded by mountains and lakes,
within hearing of the coyote; and
where the long cared rabbit Is at
home. The scenery is grand and
imposing, but In the midst Of II all
memory carries ss back to old Mis-.
souri, and wo fondly dwell on the
many happy incidents of our child
hood.
Kindeat wishes for TnB Pass. II
cheers mo In my new home. And
success to oil my Missouri friends.
Your friend, MIsrA Banks.

lawyers because, as they said, his "ofice was
under his hat" Once firmly settled in the law
business, he was not long in passing all Of
his critics and eventually making a name ior
himself that will live as long as Missouri
jurisprudence lives
AT the time Judge Macfarlane was appoint
cd by Governor Francis member OF the Su-
preme court he was recognized all over the
sta tie as one Of the ableSt lawyers west of the
Mississippi river, and his selection was the
occasion Of much rejoicing among the law
yers who had business at that high tribunal.
At the expiration of the term OF his appoint
ment he was nominated and elected for term
of 10 years, and had yet four years to serve
on the bench. Any lawyer who has had busi-
ness at the Supreme court since Judge Mac
farane became member Of it will readily
say that he ranked second TO no member OF
the court, which is saying good deal OF him.
Personally, he was one Of the plainest and
most knd-hearted men one would ever wish
to meet No one ever felt the least hesilancy
about approaching him on any subject proper
for discussion, and no one alb Jut Jefferson
City ever heard HIM speak cross word. His
mother, who resided in Galway county,
lived 10 green old age, and one of the great
est pleasures the judge enjoyed was to pay
her as frequent visits as his business would
permit.
