from photographs he possesses a remark

acter of that most peculiar and greatest
action OF the play at times Is exceedingly
dramatic, the situations very exciting and
ell tending 70 arouse patriotic response
from the audience. Mr.. Chaplin claims
that every character in the play Is drawn
from real life, that every incident OF event
ia the play actually occurred. but not al
ways at the same time and IN the same
sequence az IS shown In the play. and that
every word he puts into Lincoln's mouth

ARE AFTER DEPUTY GAME WARDEN
Lake Linden Deer Hunters Who Had
Deer Confiscated Read Denial by
the Arvon Deputy Warden
Write to Chapman.

The following is from the Lake
Linden department Of the Mining
Gazette,
1.-The announcement made Tuesday
morning that the deputy warden at
Arvon, Baraga county, had denied
the confiscation OF three deer killed
by Lake Linden hunters rather
reused the ire OF the men concerned
and only made them more earnest in
their efforts to have the offending
deputy prosecuted as they claim he
should be.
While'the Lake Linden men we're
at Arvon they were told the deer
had been contisca.ed and that they
had been skinned and we're being
used. They asked for the return of
the deer and we're refused. They
also asked to be shown that portion
of the game law which stated that
deer could be coDfiscated because
they were found in the woods with
oct the license tag attached. This
was not done. After asking for
their game two or three times they
left and decided to appeal to Chap
man, the state game warden They
wr@te letter to him explaining the
case and asked him to investigate.
If the deer were taken legally they
we're willing to submit; II not, they
wanted the Arvon deputy to get his
just dues.
A reply hasabeen received from
Chapman in which he stated he
would look into the matter. He also
stated that had the deputy seized
the deer legally and was using
them for himself he was guilty of a
violation of the. game laws and
should be prosecuted. He also asked
for the aid OF the local men in the
prosecution.
Now comes the denial by the
Arvon man, and the Lake Linden
hunters are highly incensed. An
other communication was sent to
State Game Warden Chapman tell
ing him OF the denial and again re-
a xl 4
asking him to get busy as soon as
possible and have the Arvon deputy
brought to time. The local men are
really interested and mean to push
the case to the end. They intend to
do 80 no matter what the cost.
There promises to be more interest
ing developments in the matter
later on.
