TELEGRAM IMPOSED UPON.

TELEGRAM IMPOSED UPON.
The Salt Lake Telegram in its Sunday issue contain
an article which is complete evidence that The Telegr
has been imposed upon The Telegram is reputa
paper and we it has no desire to bettle msr
resent, humiliate, gently blackma any Cache Cour
citizen therefore we predict that Dorsey Burgess
author of the article, will be called on the carpet
punished for his short comings.
The article referred to is in part as follows:
The job of fish and game warden has really
ceased to be sinecure in Utah.
Only last week Warden Seeholzer of Cache
county arrested two lawbreakers who were we'll
known by the department to be violators of our
state fish and game laws.
These men were unusually hard to catch, as
they were past masters in avoiding arrest as they
carried on most of this nefarious business at night
Knowing the character of the men arrested and
the AMOUNT of work and expense it had cost the
department to effect their capture and desiring to
break these men of the habit as we'll as to put
stop in general to violations of fish and game laws
Mr. Siddoway recommended to Justice of the Peace
A. Jorgensen Of Logan, before whom they were to
be tried, that they be given maximum fine Judge
OF Mr. Sideways surprise and disappointment
when told that they fined SIS each.
1t probably cost the department as much again
to secure the arrest of the men and he partcu-
larry anxious to make an example and thereby pos
sbly putting and effectua stop to future violations
OF the fish and game laws
Mr.. Siddoway promptly wrote Justice of the
peace JOrgensen, as follows:
Il was Informed over the phone yesterday that
you had fined the two parties who were arrested
for illegal fishing in the Logan river the sum of
S15 am very much disappointed in the manner in
which this matter was handled This was flag
rant violation of the law and the parties pleaded
guilty and should have been fined 500 each at
least Your very truly, R. H. SIDDOWAY"
An editor OF Logan newspaper seems very
much incensed over the fact that the state fish and
game commissioner should presume to advise JUS
tce of the peace to impose heavy fine on persist
ent vioators of the fish laws. And in heavy
typewriter letter signed by A. Jorgensen, but evil
IDENTIFY dictated by the editor, told few things and
gave him some advice. 1t is believed that Justice
of the Peace Jorgensen is not the author of it,
mention this case to prove my contention, viz.
chat our fish and game commissioner will have his
hands full in attempting to enforce the law and he
should have the confidence and support of every
fair minded man in the state, be he sportsman or
not and if justices of the peace refuse to assist
our game and fish commissioner to rid the state Of
fish and game mongers and law violators by not
filming those who are found guilty commensurate
with the offense committed, the remedy may be
found in spOrtsmens organizations throughout the
state taking necessary action. ..-..
The assumption that the men that were arrested we
ad characters, that an immense amount of money W
pent to hunt them down. and the further insinuation tn
ii game officials of the past were crooks is all
VIII le Shy-rockeC crack ol HoVerIor DaDerger al
amous Newhouse Hotel banquet wherein he promis
o return $2,50O000 to the people of Utah. All the
ssertiOns absurd that the most partisan
iagnose them as the rawlings of mind diseased.
The real offense and wherein Logan citizens are N
igned and misrepresented, and wherein the Telegram
imposed upon is in the above qutation Of Commission
sideways letter. If Mr. Siddoway had said nothing mo
han Dorsey Burgess gives him credit for there wor
rot have been dissenting voice in all Cache count
But Dorsey Burgess emascuates the letter that it
horn of its real offense. Commissioner Siddoway sa
