ENEMY SURROUNDS HIM.
No sooner Was the gun returned TO-
the man than the latter let out a yell,
and a boat load OF poachers who had
been working further down the lake
appeared. The. Minneapolis :warden
was notsdsunted- by the number of his
opponents, and demanded that be be
allowed to examine the boat, to see If
the men had been spearing. The
fishermen refused and when Fairburn
tried to 20 to the boat, the man with
the shotgun thrust it agsinst the
warden's breast and threatened to
fire.
After bit of parleying, Fairburn
succeeded in getting his arm under the
muzzle OF the gun, and then drawing
his own revolver, forced the gun up
away from him, and succeeded in
taking 1t away from the fisherman.
The gun was confiscated and taken %
evidence and Mr.. Fairburn returned

against the offenders.
Next day, before he could get away
from Spicer, two of the men appeared
with warrants sworn out In Irving
township, for the srrett OF Fairbutn
on the charge OF taking away proper
ty without cause. Fairburn at once
consented to 20, but managed to get
from the men their own names, and
secretly had warrants sworn out for
them at Spicer. He then departed
with the Irving township men, and
shortly after constables left Spicer
with warrants for the arrest of Fair
burn g captors.
Arriving in Irving township, Fair
burn was arraigned and convicted.
The Irving township people intended
to Jail him at once and copfiue him
for time, so that he could not
appear to prosecute some of the
poachers whom he had arrested. Thru
fraternal affiliations, however, Fair
burn succeeded In getting s20O bail
and was not put in jail. Within q
short time he was able to serve the
warrants upon the .poachers and took
them. to spicer where they were con-
victed and fined $25 each. .:.--.

Deputy Game Warden William
Fairburn, of Minneapolis, the small
est warden in the employ of the state
game commission, returned yesterday
afternoon from an exciting weeks
work in the vicinity of St. Cloud and
Willmar. Warden Fairburn, who
has nerve to give away, succeeded in
srresttng about ten violatere of the
state fishing laws, after narrowly es.
Gaping kidnapping at the hands OF des-
perate poachers.
uMr. Fairburn, who was q member
of the Minneapolis detective force
three years ago, went to Spicer, near
W1llmar, about q week ago. he
rounded up number OF men who had
been spearing and netting fsh con-
trary to the fish laws, and laid plans
to capture q gang of poachers who
were operating in Irving township.
Tie fishermen learned of the ward
ems proposed raid, and decided to
take hand in the matter and turn
the tables on him. One of the gang
star ted out with jack light on Green
Lake at night, when it was known
that the warden was near by, and Mr..
Fairburn discovered him with q gun,
apparently shooting fish over tho
light.
The warden at once called to the
man to come ia to the shore, and the
poacher did so. His gun was taken
away from him, but as there WAS no
evid-nce that he had shot any fish,
Mr.. Fairburn returned the gun, and
warned the man that he had better
not be found violating the laws or he
would be arrested and fined.
