DOG APPEALS TO LEGISLATURE.
Raises His Voice During Debate ON
Doc Bill,

Sportsmen from over the state are
pushing the new game bill, which has
Just been introduced in the senate. II
Is practically the same as the Mime
sofa game law, and similar to the laws
of North Dakota and Nebraska.
The bill provides for a state game
commission of five members, to be APP
pointed by the governor, the commits
sion to select an executive agent or
game warden from it's members. They
will appoint deputies for the counties,
whose duties it will be to look after
the law in the counties in which they
are appointed. The hunters license
fees are to be paid to the state game
commission, and all expenses must be
paid from this fund.
The fact that every legislative ses-
sion attempts to doctor the game laws
in some particular is pointed out as
evidence of the weakness of the pres
ent statutes, and the intent OF the new
law is to wipe out all existing laws
and replace them with general regula-
tons governing the whole question,
with a responsible head in the state
game warden to see that the law is
carried into effect. The indications ap-
pear favorable for the enactment of
the new bill.

red to his second wife in February of
last year In May last he and his wife
departed for Oregon. In June, Krebs
returned to South Dakota, closed up
his business affairs, and on July / re-
turned to Oregon. They lived in Port
land until Aug. 81, when Krebs disap-
peared from that city. Several days
later his friends at Salem were sur
prised at his appearance there. Co
ing to d local bank where he had mon
ey on deposit, he drew out the full
amount, something over $500. Early
in the afternoon he boarded south

ticket for Omaha. That is the last
trace that can be found of him.
His second wife is still at Portland
