TWO APPOINTEES INVOLVED

Although the question never before
has been raised, II is possible that the

remove the office b. Guthrie
II has been understood that George
Noble, new game warden, would keep
his office AT his home In POteau and

firmation Of this ha, even been made
by him IN a letter which has been re-.
ceiyed from him at the game warden 4

graduated upon the high standing he

nized.
