LOCAL MAN FINED
FOR SELLING HIDES
County Game Warden Watson Resorts to
Questionable Methods to Get Con-

people as as dirty a piece Of work as
was ever resorted to by a public Of
fetal to get a conviction was the
method taken by Chelan county's
game warden, Ross Watson to convict
Walt Myers Of selling mountain goat
hide.
A week or so ago, Mr.. Myers, who is
a contractor employed by the Lamb
Davis Lumber Co., and we'll known IN
this city where he has lived for ten
years. went out hunting, and returned
with two mountain goat, which he
skinned and laid the hides out in the
yard to dry. Last Saturday morning,
according to the story told by Mr..
Myers, two young men approached his
mother, Mrs. E. A. Myers, at their
home, and seeing the hides asked her
il she would not sell one to them.
They further stated that they had been
out hunting for several weeks and had
had no luck and as their home was in
the east they would like TO take one OF
the pelts back with them as trophy.
Mrs. Myers said she did not care to
sell the hides as they belonged to her
son who had intended TO have them
tanned and made into rug. He in
sisted however and finally she consented
to let them have one of the hides for
one dollar, for which he gave her a
check.
When Mrs. Myers told her son about
the affair she remarked They were
such nice looking young fellows and
begged me so hard to sell the hide that
took pity on them and let them have
it." She did not know that there was
law against selling mountain goat
hide. He was haled before Judge
Rice and fined $40 and costs, amount
ing to $3.50. Mr.. Myers was told to
bring his mother into court if he wished
to fight the case, but replied that he
would rather pay his fine than to carry
the dirty business any further.
After leaving the court room Myers
met Game Warden Watson on the
street and handed him the 81 check
which he had given Mrs. Myers (and
he took it too) telling him at the same
time that that would be enough to buy
him few drinks for his trouble, and
he didn't need the dollar. This Of
tended Watson and he Immediately
challenged Myers TO a scrap, saying,
Come on over across the track and
we will fight this out. Myers de-
clined and walked away.
Whether Mr.. Myers killed more goat
than the law allows, we do not know.
Neither do We know whether he author
lied the selling of the hides for which
he was fined. He told an Echo re-
porter that he did not, and Mr.. Myers
has the reputation of being truthful
and honest man. and the story we are
printing this week is just the way it
happened, says Mr.. Myers.
Admitting all Of the above to be true
it was very despicable trick on the
part of Mr.. Watson and his assistant,
w. H. Cham oerlain, TO urge an old
lady. seventy years of age, to violate
the law relating to killing and selling
of game, it is not to any mans credit,
and the course taken by Watson in this
case will be condemned by all right
thinking people. In inviting Myers
out to fight him, he was a violater OF
the law himself.

From the Law Court.

Decisions in several Hancock county
cases have just been handed down by the
law court. In the case Of Ray Easton, OF
Belfast, VS.. Loana Eaton, Of Deer Isle, in
which the plaintiff filed writ of error to
have judgment against him set aside on
the ground that being minor, he was not
represented in court by parent or guar
dian, the exceptions were sustained.
In the cases OF State by sci fac VS.. Ed
ward l.. Callahan ct ais: Same VS.. Arthur
Hunton ct ais: Same VS.. Thomas III.
Landers ct ais: Same VS.. Michael Nc
Auley ct ais, exceptions were overruied.
Demurrer was based on the ground that
the declaration did not aver that the
recognizance was returned to the supreme
judicial court and entered of record.
Under the provisions of R. s. chapter 1874,
section q, this lack of averment is not
ground for demurrer.
From an inspection of the recognizance
and the declaration in the writ it can be
sufficiently understood from its tenor at
what court the defendant was to appear,
and from the description OF the offense
charged, that the magistrate was author
lied to require and take the same.

Not long time has passed since the
democratic party enacted its tariff
theories into law, but it has been long
enough to damage seriously the bust
ness of the country and to force hun
dreds of thousands out of work. The
same relying on theories and ignoring
facts which marked the period of tar
if making is manifest now that the
President is busy excuse making. His
excuses are as sound as his tariff. To
tell a manufacturer whose business
has fallen off forty per cent. or a
working man who has lost his job that
the depression is merely Psyche
logical, may satisfy the analytical
powers of a gentleman of long peda-
gogic training, but it does not satisfy
the man whose business is ruined or
the man who has lost his job-Thonads
O. Mdrrin in Truth.

Next Congress Republican.


Indications that the republicans will
regain control of the House in the
elections this year are increasing
daily. Only few months ago this
was thought only remotely possible,
but to-day many leaders of the re-
publican party predict such result
in the November elections and demo-
cratic leaders admit there will be
large republican gains.
Democratic bungling in foreign af-
fairs and in almost every bit of legis-
lation attempted is responsible for a
decided drift away from the demo-
cratic party, and away from the in
effective progressive party, back to
the republican party-a drift which
will beyond any question swell to
tidal wave in 1916.
But the voters of the country will
not wait for 1915. The welfare of the
country, our dignity as great nation,
demand that trig be put in the
wheels of this disastrously incom-
petent administration this year.
Political history bids fair to repeat
itself. Twenty years ago democratic
House was succeeded by republican
majority. This followed the enact
ment of the democratic tariff law
known as the Wilson act. This law
proved to be the undoing of the
democratic party, and Grover Cleve-
land spent the last two years of his
administration with a republican ma
jority in the House.
1t will take 21s votes to control the
next House of Representatives, and,
according to the estimates of Charles
d. Hilles, chairman of the republican
national committee, the republicans
will have 222 representatives.
Maine will do her part to return
four republican congressman, and set
the pace for the other states of the
Union. The third district will reflect
John A. Peters, of Ellsworth, whose
democratic opponent, Mr.. Pattangall,
says, "this is the best administration
this country ever had"

cine at Half-Prfce.
G. A. Parcher, the popular druggist, is
making an offer that is just like finding
money, for he is selling regular 5O-cent
bottle OF DR.. Towards celebrated remedy
for constipation and dyspepsia at half
price. In addition to this large discount
he agrees to return the money to any pur-
chaser whom the remedy does not cure.
1t is quite unusual to be able TO buy
fifty-cent pieces for a quarter, but that is
what this offer really means, for it is only
recently that this medicine could be
bought for less than fifty cents. The
proprietors have decided to allow MIR.
Parcher to sell it at this reduced price for
a while, and the result has justified his
good judgment, for the sale has been
something remarkable.
Anyone who suffers with headache.
dyspepsia, dizziness, sour stomach, specks
before the eyes, or any liver trouble,
should take advantage OF this opportun-
ity, for DR.. Towards remedy is recon-
mended for all these troubles. But il by
any chance it should not help, Mr.. Par
cher will return your money.

siderable difficulty has been ex-

despite the fact that the action of the

bound the majority senators to stay
