BUENTHER'S SUITS
Taxidermist Would Have the State
Game and Fish Commission
Enjoined.
Mounted Heads and Skins He Holds
Cannot Be Construed as
Game.
Special to The Journal.

Bemidji, MINI, Sept. 22.-Two cases of
widespread interest to come up at the present
term of district court will be those brought by
Henry Buenther the Bemidji taxidermist
against the state game and fish commission. The
results will be of interest to every taxider1nist
and sportsman in the state.
The first Of the suits Is for permanent in
junction against the executive agent Of the
state game and fish commission, Samuel F.
Fullerton, and others. asking that they be re-
strained from interfering with Mr.. Buenther's
business as a taxtdermist; the second, dam
age suit against Mr.. Fullerton, and others. Dam
ages are asked in the sum Of 50, 900. #E"...
The trouble started in April, 1902, when a
deputy warden seized two mounted deer heads
shipped by Mr. Buenther to IL man in Dakota
not be shipped from the state. This question
as to when game loses its identity will be the
one upon which the whole affair will hinge.
Mr.. Buenther's contention Is that game loses It's
Identity as such when mounted. His conten-
tion seems to have been shared by the attorney
set before him. which was Immediately done by
letter, the game and fish commission ordered
to release the heads and forward them to their
destination.
From that time there friction between
the taxidermist and state game and fish COM
mission The latter tried TO compel the taxi
dermist to have all his game heads sealed at an
expense of 81 each, something which, 1t Is said,
no other taxidermist in the state had been COM
PEELED to do up to that time. A deputy sent
to Bemidji for the purpose Of taxing the taxi
dermist 81 each for all the moose and deer heads
fused to pay, and the deputy was compelled to
borrow money to keep up his hotel bills.
Tho PLAINTIFF contends that mounted heads are
no more game than Is the buckhorn. handle of a

season.

Chemistry In Business.

Of applying scientific principles where
formerly chance was relied upon. For
instance. chemists are employed by rail-
roads to prevent the use Of water injurious
to boilers. This was at first considered a
ridiculous detail, but 1t has saved rail-
road companies thousands Of dollars. In
hundreds Of industries chemists are now
employed with a wonderful reduction in
expense and increase in quality of the
products. The method used in brewing
golden grain belt beer, is the result OF
years of careful work by experts. The
beer is, therefore, pure and wholesome
and does just what beer is intended to do,
