Law Works Injustice

G. A. Gray, a trapper of Lucky
Boy, protests that the bounty law
works an injustice to the trapper and
should be amended. He claims that
when a scalp is detached from a hide
the buyers hold that the hide de-
preciates in value and the trapper
must accept a reduced price for his
product. He suggests the county
clerk be authorized to punch skins
instead of detaching their scalps.
