-Four Special Men Engaged to Patrol
River South. to State Line.
Bismarck, N. d.. Jan. 6-W.. F.
Reko, Of Handan, CHIEF game warden
for this district, was in Bismarck on
Official business, having come over
here to investigate a complaint enter
ed at his office regarding the shooting
Of deer south OF this city. In order
to see that the laws Is not violated in
this regard. Mr.. Reko has engaged
four special men as wardens to patrol
the river as far south as the state
line.
Several parties have been found
with dogs and guns in the timber
along the river. but they have claim
ed to be hunting rabbits. hence it has
been impossible to prove them as do
ing any wrong.
Mr.. Reko says they have been do
ing quite well, however, this year in
securing convictions and in the num-
Der Of licenses issued. He says that
in 1912 there were but IS convictions
in this district, but this year, since
April, they have secured sc convic-
lions, and the reports Of seizure have
been increased. In 1911 the amount
Of license fees received in the state
was $26,000;s in 1912 these fees
amounted to $4,000, while in 1919
they amounted to $4,000. All Of this
makes It appear that the present ad-
ministration Is doing business. and
that lawbreakers are being dealt with
more severely.

am enclosing you herewith a pur-

1t Is embarrassing to me to be com-
PEELED to correct the press report of Il

the governor of this state. but your

matter. You. of course. are NOT to

that Carl Erickson, the sheriff. is a
good citizen and stands high in his
community. His honesty and integrity
are not questioned by any one, SO far
as [ was able to ascertain. As to his
conduct and actions in respect to the
care and safety of the lynched pris-
oner in his charge, and the extent to
which he should be held accountable
for the %lynching. by reason of such
conduct. you can best determine for
yourself from the statements of the

his W statement and that of Mrs.
Erickson, his wife. My personal views
on that phase of the subject were
