Rogue River Argus; The game
wardens received word last week that
parties were killing deer up Evans
creek, so when the net was cast it
dragged in a man named Richey and
his son. The man has wife and
seven children near Waldo, and he
and one son have been trapping up
Evans creek this winter. Sam San
dry tells us that the only thing he
could see that was eatable was two
deer which the man owned up to hav-
ing killed. He says there was not
even a potato, so the fine was remit
ted as the court felt that the man,
though guilty, was entitled to eat.
