Exposure Of the wild animal bounty

the workings Of the grasshuDper bounty
law. The records # the state auditor
office reveal nothing wrong in this de-
partmeut Of the state government. The
records show that a harvest Of 714SI5
pounds or 35I.4 tons Of hoPpers was rcaped
in five counties Of the state. At the
legal rate of / cent pound the reuDers

The matter of the killing is left in the
hands of the county clerks and commits
sioners and they arc authorized 70 APP
point agents to attend to the slaughter.
The usual method of dispOsing OF the
srasshoppers after the bounty has been
paid is to bury them Often QuicSlime

killing of the hoDoers has thus far been
confined to five counties. The state rec

Watson Was Careful.

No charge of dishonesty or careiessness
is attached to Clerk Watson in the issu-
ing of these warrants.
= curious fact connected with CIark's
visits was that upon every occasion. eX-
cepting two. he brought only part of the
hide, having the scalp with strip along
the back connecting the tail. which salts
fieS the law. Mr.. Watson became SuS-
picious after several warrants had been
passed, and consulted the county attOr-
ney on the subject
Together they made an examination of
the hides and could find no evidence or
a bounty having been collected elsewhere.
Upon questioning Clark to why he did
not produce the entire hide and how he
came into possession OF so many. ne ex-
planned that he had number of men
engaged i'm the business and that their
work of determination was carried on al
most entirely with poison, which fact
made it necessary to discard every pOr-
ton of the hide that the law did not call
for. the hides were worthless. and the
hair would drop off when the animals
had been killed with poison. He substan-
tsted this explanation by sometimes
bringing in sound entire hides OF the anil
mails he was claiming bounty on.
The record shows that Clara collected
bOunties twice in November. but the lasC
one was issued BY Miss Lettie Clegg. the
deputy clerk, during Mr. Watson's alb
Scnce.
The Bank Of Heber City holds probably
the bulk of tho certificates that have been
issued, the paper having been discounted
there.
