DEPUTY KILLS MAN
WHO RESISTED ARREST

Sallisaw. Okla. June 20.-That Sun
day is a day for killings in Sequoyah
county was again demonstrated today
when Lige Fain shot and killed Lloyd
Johns near Roland, a small town on
the Iron Mountain railroad sixteen
miles east of here. Particulars are
meager at this time. but the advice
received by Sheriff Gay. who has
gone TO the scene, is that Johns was
in an intoxicated condition and re-
sisted when Fain undertook TO place
him under arrest. Fain claims he shot
in self defense. Fain is a deputy sher-
if. Both men are past middle age
and have families. Johns, it is said,
had been connected with one or two
previous killings. After the shooting
Fain telephoned Sheriff Gay to come
out and investigate and that ne
would surrender.

FEDERAL Law
IS IN FORCE
FOR THE BIRDS
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
WILL CONTINUE TO PROSECUTE
ILLEGAL KILLING OF MIGRATO-
RY BIRDS.

Washington, d. c., June 19.-Many
OF the press comments on the decision
of the United States district court,
rendered March 30 at Topeka, Kan
sas, holding that the federal migra-
tory bird law is unconstitutional, ac-
cording to the United States depart
ment of agriculture, are erroneous and
are apt to mislead the public concern
ing the real situation in this matter
The Kansas decision like a former
decision to the same effect in the
eastern district OF Arkansas, is lin
tied in its operation solely to the dis
trict in which it was rendered. Neither
decision settles or nullifies the law,
and the exact contrary has been held
by the United States district court
for South Dakota. The Arkansas case
has been appealed to, and is now pend
ng in the United States supreme court.
the act of congress protecting migra-
tory birds stands effective until the
supreme court finally decides the ques-
ton OF its constitutionality. In the
meantime it is incumbent on every
law-abiding citizen to observe its pro
visions, and the regulations. 1t is the
duty OF the department of agriculture
to enforce this law and the officials
in charge will endeavor to do so as
long as it is in force. Reports of vio-
lations will be carefully investigated
and when sufficient evidence is Sc
cured, they will be reported for prose-
cution. In this connection it should
not be forgotten that an offender
against this, as in the case of other
United States laws, is subject to pro-
secution any time within three years
from the date the offense is commit
ted.
