Arrest Being Made.

The owner Of a resort near Spider
lake, in Sawyer county, found that
beefsteak had advanced in price to 25
cents per pound, so he evolved a fine
idea This was to offer several of the
guides in the vicinity to kill deer for
him, and he would pay them 4 cents
per pound for the VenisOn. This
scheme worked all right for a time,
but yesterday morning game warden
who had been staying at the resort all
the time, and who of course was on
to the whole racket, decided that it
had gone far enough and finding 25
carcasses in manure pile obtained
warrants for eight guides who were in
the business. The penalty for Killing
| deer out of season is from $25 to
$500.
On Lake Butte des Morris yesterday
morning, a nonresident whose name

tricts thoroughly and the arrests
being made daily for violations of the
game laws are teaching the wou1d-be
violators a wholesome lesson.
