A PECULIAR
GAME LAW CASE

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 10.-Everett
Monroe Of this city was brought into
court on a charge of violating the
game laws. And though it was clear
to the court and to the attorneys that
the intent of the law failed to reach
MIN, the letter of the law seemed to
make a fine inevitable.
Monroe, who is. % years old and has
llVed In Bismarck all his life, had been
hunting with four others in Morton
county. The entire party bagged
thirty-seven chickens and Monroe was
asked to bring them to Bismarck and
have them taken care of. With the
bag containing the lot of game. he
was nabbed by the. district game war
den at Mandan n brought to this
city.
The law provides that anyone caught
having in his . possession more than
twenty chickens shall pay a fine of SO
Tor each chicken over the specified
amount. Monroe had the thirty-seven
chickens, which made him liable to q
fine of $170, which he could i'll afford
to pay, and which, as he pointed out,
he should not be required to pay for
the reason that he had done no wrong.
n argued well in his own de-
Tense, clearly pointing out how cir
cumstances had conspired to make
him liable under a law which was
made for somebody else. He made a
convincing case with the court, too,
but there was the unyieldins phrase
Of the law-"found in his possession"
and that fine of $40 for every chicken
stared him in the face. An adjourn
ment was taken to permit him to Sc
cure witnesses.

LLOYD IN MONTANA.

President Worst has just returned
from a trip to Clark's Forks in west
ern Montana. While there he visited
his son, Lloyd, who has just taken 800
acres Of partially burned timber land.
The climate there is ideal for peach
and apple crops and Lloyd's farm has
a good supply of running water, and
the timber is full of bear and deer
which will furnish good hunting.
On his return trip the president WIS.,
tied the demonstration farm at Beach
and rode thirty miles through Golden
valley with DR.. MacNab. From there
he went to the Dickinson sub expert
ment station and the demonstration
farm at the state penitentiary and
spent the day with Warden Talcott
n his family, delivering a speech at
the entertainment given for the con-
Victs.
President Worst reports that the
crops are spotted through the state
but on the average are good. In the
western part Of the state corn is good
but the stalks are very short.
