The Governor Imposed On.

County Attorney Si2emore has
instructed Sheriff Richardson 10
close the pool hall on Sundays.
Gov. West received a letter sign
ed by Mrs. Lizzie Lippind written
from Burns stating the pool hall
was kept open on Sunday and
that there was gambling going
on there. AS a matter of fact
any one acquainted with the pro-
prietors or has observed the man
ner in which the pool hall is con-
ducteo knows there is no gambl-
ing allowed there.
The name signed to the letter
is certainly an assumed one as no
one Of that name is known here.
The governor wrote the county
attorney to see that the law was
complied with and he has turned
the letter over to the sheriff.
The pool hall will be closed in
compliance with the request, but
it isn't pleasant to think we have
people who will misrepresent
matters to accomplish such an
end.

the bylaws would be amended at

The matter of a deer park or

They think we have laws pro-
tecting the game in this state
and II properly enforced there is
little danger of the deer becom-
ing extinct for many wears. We
have a large portion of this coun-
try now in game preserves and
the members believe we should
not be compelled to forego more
Of our hunting grounds for such
purpose.
