We take no stock in the denuncia-
tion of the custom of having Judge
from one district go, when occasion
demands, into another district for the
purpose of holding court there, merely
because Judge Savage, of Northum-
berland, is said to have made few
thousand dollars by trying cases for
Judge Pershing in Schuylkill. Both
Judge Savage and Judge Pershing are
gentlemen. and that is only another
way of saying that they are honest.
Judge Pershlng's illness was also
genuine. If there was any blunder in
re-electing him it rests with the peo-
pie who have had to pay for his sub
stitute.
The custom has many honorable
uses. 1t enables judges who are in
terested in litigation which must be
pressed in their counties to retire in
favor of visiting judge, thus insur-
ing equitable rulings in such cases.
1t also expedites the business of over
worked courts. At any rate, we have
a higher notion of the judiciary of
this State than to believe that they
would deliberately "work" the right
for few fees. We suspect that Judge
Savage gave fair return for all the
money he received. He is built on
, those lines.-PhiIa. Inquirer.
When Judge is sick, as was the
/ case with Judge Pershing, he must call
in another Judge, or the business Of
his courts will fall behind. The fire.
quent visits of another Judge to try
cases in which the home Judge has
been concerned as counsel before
going on the bench, can be avoided
by electing judge from outside the
district.

If Offices in these dependencies are

the approaching State campaign is
the redemption of the Common

Whereas, The Democratic Con-

State affairs, and nominated for
Governor a man of integrity,
thoroughly equipped to serve the

Swan and His Deputies.

swan and His Deputies.
The following articles will show that
the fagran,ly disg racefdl managehieiit
of the state game laws by Warden Swan
and his deputies is beginning to attract
the attention of the state press:
The story published in the Denver
News Of Thursday about deputy game
wardens securing thirteen deer from o
number of poachers at Rifle. is not
borne out by the facts as related by one
Of the men who had the deer. Charles
Harrison, who was one OF the three men
from whom Game Wardens Walzel aud
Slaughter took the deer, says:
The game wardens came to our camp
Saturday afternoon and placed US under
arrest. There were three of them. We
made no denial as to their right, but
asked for speedy trial. We had nine
whole deer and one partially consumed
in our possession. The wardens TOOK
us with our camp outfit, toward Meeker,
but some 70 miles this side of there,
took the venison from us and left 1t in
charge of the third deputy. Walzel
and Slaughter took us on into Meeker
Being under arrest we asked for food
and lodging for ourselves, and feed for
our horses. This was denied us, nor
could We secure trial. In the MORN
lug Walzel came around and told US We
could go where we pleased. He was
through with US. When We arrived at
Rifle we found that part or all of our
deer had been shipped to Denver. II
the deer were not legally ours, some
judicial officer should have been the one
to SO decide and the venison belonged to
Rio Blanco county-not TO- the game
warden and his pets. The wardens
acted as judge and jury, convicted us,
and coufiscated our property. 1t seems
to me that the proceedings was simply q
scheme to stock up with venison that
others have shot"
From Harrison's story, and the tlasco
of seizing a lot of old horns and hides
from Frank Walters and then not de-
Tending the action. combined with the
farcial attempt to convict New Castle
citizens of "resisting a game warden"it
would appear that the game law is be-
ing made ridiculous. The Avalanche
has sturdily defended Game Warden
Swan so long as he appeared to be try
ing to honestly enforce the law. He is
now entitled to censure for the foolish
l,ess which is being indulged in under
the guise of protecting game, that only
results in shipping venison to Denver
and large bills for costs.
OF the case referred to above. the
Denver Times says: "Commissioner
Swan thinks he has very strong case,
and that II these law breakers cannot
be convicted the game laws will have to
be changed or abolished. He has no
hope Of convicting them before Justice
of the peace. as it is proverbial that q
conviction for breaking a game law can
not be gotten. He intends 10 carry this
case along from one court to another
until he gets some definite result

A WARDEN AFTER MEAT.


GLENwOoD SPRINGS, Colo, Dec. 8, '9S
EDITOR AvALANCHE:
notice in your issue of Friday last
that you mention, in the game warden
and hunter article, that the nine car
casses Of deer taken from the hunters
over in Rio Blanco county, in some mys-
terious manner grew to be 13 by the time
they reached Denver.
Perhaps can throw some light upon
the matter. Some three or four days
before the hunters were captured by
Deputy Wardens Walzel, Slaughter and
the Piceance creek deputy, they were
travelling down Piceance creek and stop.
ped at the house of the warden of that
district. As the men-who were out on
a kind Of prospecting trip-drove up to
said warden's door, they saw two deer,
recently killed. which had Just been
dragged down from the hills. The deer
had been brought in by the warden.
whose hands were begrimed BY their
blood. Tho warden, during conver-
sation with the travellers, told them that
the game laws we're not considered good
and were not enforced in that section.
He also told them that game was plenti-
full around there and that IL they were
out looking for meat they could camp at

out with two hounds and a rifle. He
asked them which way the deer seemed
to be working they answered that they
were working down. The warden said
he thought so, too.
Soon after the warden left them the
boys heard his hounds in full cry'' and
also heard the report of his gun.
When the boys we're arrested they
were surprised and disgusted to see this
same warden amongst their captors.
They ut once resolved that when they
arrived at Meeker they would swear out
q warrant for his arrest on a like charge.
The desire of the boys to have this
hunter deputy accompany them to
Meeker, arousing the suspicsns of Depu-
ties Slaughter and Walzel, and they
asked the boys why they were so anxious
to have him 60 along. The boys then
told the wardens that they had strong
case Of game slaughtering against him.
When the party got ready to start out
the other deputies told their hunter
comrade that he need not 60 along.
Now. the way I explain the number
of deer increasing from nine to l3 while
en- route from us to Denver is: The
Piceance deputy's deer we're sent along
also, and the poor OF Denver, who got
them, on investigation, will be found to
be the warden and his friends.
