company, that in the opinion of
game for taking in. Dave Margetts,
Steve IRE. and Mr.. Murdoch were all
arrested, while number of others ere
told they were arrested, and were re-
leased before being summoned for
trial. The charge is now made among
the hunters that Deputy Brunson of
Davis county secured his appointment
as deputy game warden for the pur-
pose of visiting the marshes and MAX
ing these arrests, especially that of
Mr. IRE,
On one side of hunting feud which
is three years old, are Perry Burnham,
and two of his brothers. Durham
was formerly deputy warden, en-
ployed at the club grounds near the
mouth of the Jordan, To watch for pot
hunters. But Burnham had a fault,
In the eyes of the club members, and
he was finally displaced by Steve"
IRE, custodian of the grounds at pres
ent, and Waterman to see that no duck
is shot after sunset, and that no hunter
Is shooting after he has dropped the
limit of %. He recently escorted one
of the scions of the Burnham family
off the grounds, with the lusty use of
his big boot.
IRE proud of his vigilance in this
connection, and the man who has
brought many overambitious hunters
to heel, was yesterday afternoon fined
So in Davis county Justices court
for Illegal hunting. IRE is convinced
I that his old enemy Burnham, has
handed him one and to let no such
Miscarriage of justice remain. the case
has been appealed to the district court.
In the melee at the club grounds,
When the arrests We're flying thick and
fast, as the season came to close,
Perry Burnham was a very active
man, and the only man more active
was Deputy Brownson, a new ap-
polntee on his first day of duty. II
arrest you,' shouted the new deputy
to each OF four or five men as their
boats neared the club house after the
days hunt, Among them were some
Of the towns best known professional
men, including one man very high i'm
Office another who In the state legis-
aiure had been largely Instrumental in
forcing through the state game law.
MARGETTs FIRST VICTIM.
After all the arrests had been an
nOunced, lack OF any excuse developed
in several cases. Finally the deputy
claimed he had seen Dave Margetts
lass 70 stephen H. Love, president of
NE state senate, six ducks out of his
boat so he arrested Margetts for hav-
Ing more than the legal limit of ducks.
In spite of explanations that Love
and Margetts We're hunting together,
and the boat was the common re-
eeptacle Of their kill, the arrest Of Mar
GETS stood Margetts was dismissed
IN y v
afternoon.
DIR. GATES ESCAPE
Then another boat doomed UP IN the
distance. II was that OF DR. Claude w
Gates, and as he approached the warden
