Game Laws Given a Blow.

A special from st. Paul of Saturday
to the daily papers says of the deci-
sion Of the supreme court in regard to
having in possession of hides, deer,
moose, ETC.:
"a person who, in good faith has
purchased deer and moose skins for
the purpose of tanning the same. ac-
quires valid title thereto; and in an
action to recover the hides, or their
value, from the game warden who took
possession thereof. the owner is not
required to prove that the animal
from which such skins were taken
were lawfully killed."
So declares Justice Lewis of the
states supreme court in affirming the
lower court in the case of Dell Lin
den against f. F. Mccormick, Jesse
Harry, S. f. Fullerton and w. c.
Tyndall. appellant.
Tyndall is sheriff of Itasca county;
Harry, deputy sheriff; Mccormick,
deputy game warden, and Fullerton,
executive agent of the state game and
fish commission.
Linden was, on June q, 1902, en-
gagged in the business of tanning
skins at Grave Lake Itasca county.
The sheriff and game warden swooped
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1903-10-30

down on him and con6scated fifty
deer hides aud ten moose hides. Lin
den sued for $500, the value of the
skins. He got a verdict of 1925. The
defense appealed to the supreme court
claiming that the seizure of the skins
was legal. and under the 1897 game
law. The supreme court sustained
the verdict, and declares that the law
places no restriction upon disposition
of skins by persons who legally kill
the game, and the records in the case
do not show that these skins were
taken from game illegally killed.
The decision Isl very portant and
far-reaching one. 1t puts upon the
state the burden of proof in such
cases. The state will assume a risk
every time it seizes hide.
'We might as well quit" said Elk
ecutiye Agent Sam Fullerton, when
he was told of the supreme courts rul-
ing in the Linden case, in which the
court held that the possession of skins
out of season is not evidence that the
party possessing them has violated the
game laws.
st is an invitation TO men to go in
to the woods AMI deliberately kill off
the game under protection of the
law"
Il do not mean in any way to criti-
else the courts decision in saying this.
l refer only to the effects of that de-
cision.
"Of course, the ordinary observer
will say that if a man is going up the
street with deer skin out of season,
game warden should not be allowed
to pounce on him and take the skin
away from him on the presumption
that he has been killing game out of
season.
"But in this case it is different.
Here is man who lives up in the
woods and makes business of tam.
ing game hides. Men can go into the
woods and kill deer and moose and dis
pose of the carcass secretly and when
the hide is found in the tanners pos
session we cannot seize it. How can
we prevent the illegal killing of game,
when this thing is possible? We can
not trace the matter down and prove
conclusively that the skins were taken
from animals illegally killed, even
though we know that to be a fact.
''These tanners are the agents of all
the men who violate the game laws.
"Under this decision we may be
sued every time we seize hide and
we>are practically barred from max
ing such u seizure unless we catch the
offender stripping the hide from the
carcass.
1.-The supreme court has no doubt,
followed the law. But l regret that
the law is such that the decision is
possible"

FIVE tin-plate mills at Sharon,
Pa, have resumed operations dur
ing this week and the steel works
at Joliet have also become active.
This clearly indicates an improve
ment in the iron and steel business.
A few weeks ago number of fur
naces and mills were closed down
for sixty days with the understand
ing that if an improvement did
not take place there would be an
other shutdown for sixty days.
At the same time steps were taken
to curtail the output of iron ore.
The signs of revival in the iron
and steel business will be welcomed
by the ranges which have felt just
a little depressed since the slump
took place. The Duluth Herald
gives out the following cheering
editorial: Even if there should
not be an immediate resumption
of operations at all the mines, it is
safe to predict that before spring
there will be general activity at
all the mines. The present sur
plusses will have been wiped out by
the action of the manufacturers
in temporarily shutting down their
plants, and the stockpiles at the
mines and on the docks will have
been reduced to small proportions.
More iron ore will be needed, and
the output next season will be as
large as this wear, and possibly
larger. Iron and steel are being
put to new uses and taking the
place of other materials in the
building line, and this has created
a large demand that is steadily
growing. A glance at the increase
in the iron ore output of the Lake
Superior region during the past
decade will show the great extent
to which the uses of iron and steel
are being extended. There is no
good reason for any one to be dis
couraged over the outlook. On
the contrary, there is ground for
the confident belief that the iron
and steel industry will soon be as
active as it was year ago, and
that all the iron mines will be
