A Word About Deer

have interviewed quite lot OF old
hunters and | find none OF them ever
remember seeing more than two does
following one buck, and my experience
is that bucks in wild state never mate
with over two does and more frequent
ly with only one. And 10 this fact |
attribute the large number Of dry does
which are seen in herds of 10 TO twenty
without fawn or buck with them at
any time. So think il it is the inten-
ton 10 increase the deer in Vermont
we had better make a close season for
bucks and allow lot of does to be shot
off. Again, ms game warden. | have
examined this season lot OF bucks
heads and with two exceptions they
were all little Saranac bucks, thin spike
horns and runts, weight about lao lbs.
or less, that have run into this south
western side of Vermont TO take the
place OF our large native deer and will
in time rear up lot OF lltue, pehkeu,
runt deer. Our big native does are
much larger than these little outlanders
and with large native bucks rear up
deer that will weigh from go to over
300 pounds.
Now the sentiment here is to let us
have week to kill both bucks and
does and then if in two years more the
bucks killed don't improve in size and
beauty of horns, make close season
on bucks and let them improve and IN
crease in size and number. And re-
member it is the old dry does that do
most Of the damage.

Deputy Game Warden.

COURT SHIELDED CRIME.


San Francisco, Feb. lin what
Lis probably one of the most remark.
able papers ever addressed to a Cal
ifornia court the prosecution In the
San francisco bribery-graft cases to-
day filed with the Supreme Court q
netition for a re-hearing of the de-
cision of the Court OF Appeals In
which ex-Mayor Eugene Schmitz and
the former political boss. Abraham
Ruef, were virtually held to be guilt
less of extortion, the conviction Of
the former reversed and the plea Of
guilty by Ruef practically nullified.
The petition openly criticizes the
Court of Appeals for its decision and
charges that the court by its act had
virtually legalized blackmail In the
state.
The appeal Is signed by Attorney
General u. s. Webb, Francis j..
Heney, william H. Langdon, Charles
w. Cobb and Joseph Dwyer. The pc
tition concludes:
We ask for a rehearing because
the decision, with the greatest re-
spect to the court that rendered 1t
and to this court Is:
1. Fallacious in its logic.
2. Devoid of reason to support 1t.
8. Unsupported by the authorities
cited.
4. Dramatically opposed to high
which we cited In our
briefs but which are unnoticed by
the opinion.

NARROWED ON GLACIER.
Nineteen Japanese Fishermen Found
Freezing and Starving,

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 17.-Casi
ashore on Malaspina glacier near va
kutat, Alaska, November S, after a
severe gale lasting ~ hours, 10
members of the Japanese fishing
schooner Satsuma Maru lived In a
camp at the foot of the glacier for
three months. Then nine of them
escaped in their sampan to Yakutat,
where the ship Jeanne was hailed.
The Jeanne went to the glacier
that afternoon. With seven sailors
the Japanese sampan, which was
towed to the glacier by the Jeanne,
put off towards the beach to rescue
their comrades. The Jeanie's big
lifeboat followed in the wake of the
sampan, but did not approach the
surf.
The sampan had hardly entered
the surf when 1t was rolled over re-
peatedly. Four of the men were
picked up unconscious by the life
boat and taken back to the shin a
mile away. The officers of the Jeanne
saw the catastrophe and the shin
wrecked men on shore rushed into
the sea and took out the bodies of
the other three sailors. Whether
lhey were alive or dead is not
known. The Jeanne stood off for two
hours, but the sea was running SO
ligh that no boat could live to pass
ne surf. A revenue cutter has
'ailed TO the glacier to rescue the
,ther men.
