SAFE IN ADIRONDACKS.
No Threats Against Land Gamers,
but Many Think Park Lac Bad.
TRY TrLreYApu 70 TIE TRIBUNE.

Malone, y. Y. Sept. 21.-The establishment
OF private parks in the Adirondacks has caused
some i'll feeling on the part OF lumbern1en pro-
hibited from floating logs from their lands
through such parks from building dams
above their timber LANDS parks for storing
water for the floating OF logs below. The feel
ing has not been considered to be bitter IN
less resulting from protracted litigation IN some
particular case
The closing of the oldtine hunting and fishing
resorts against guides and Adirondack residents
has caused much more feeling than the inter
ference with numbering operations, particularly
in cases in which the waters closed have been
at some time STOCKED by the State. This feel
ing Of injustice is widely extended throughout
the mountain region. but d not bitter. as has
been represented. except IN isolated instances
where litigation against trespassers has been
pushed TO the extreme. In those cases it is con-
fined principally TO the ltigants themselves
While there is a general feeling in the Adj
-rondacks that the so-callcd park law is unjust
the feeling is not bitter as represented IN
less on the part of some who have been prose-
cuted for hunting. fishing CT doing other pro-
hibited acts upon private parks.
Reports that large posse of men Is securing
the woods in search Of TIE murderer OF Orlando
Z. Dexter are erroneous. The authorities do
not believe the murderer is hiding in the woods.
