IL REPORT CORRECT.
Forest Ranger Found Dead
by Body Of Moose-Was
Shot Through Back De
partment Investigates.

Murder may have been committed
in the big game hunting grounds of
the southeastern part of the state near
Victor, IL reports received here are
correct. The report ia to the effect
that the body Of forest ranger named
Nord was found near Tetonia. He had
been shot through the back. Near the
body was a dead moose. A poacher
may be the guilty party. Sidney
Whitehead, deputy state game warden
for the southeastern part OF the state,
is making an investigation and will
report his findings to the fish and game
department.
KILLED ABOUT SAME TIME.
| Nord had been dead for two or three
days. 1t is supposed that while en-
gagged in his duties on the timbered
range, he ran across a poacher who
had killed moose and that the hunter
had attacked him from behind. killing
him by shooting him through the back.
A careful examination of the premises
Is being made by the deputy state
game warden. 1t showed that the man
and moose had been killed at about
the same time. The poacher had an
excellent opportunity to get away but
every effort will be made to appre-
bend him.
This is the first serious crime Of a
similar nature that has taken place
in the eastern Idaho big game belt for
some time. For years, however, poach-
ers have been active in the game belt
and there has been constant trouble
with them. The Idaho laws provide a
heavy penalty for killing big game out
of season.
CLOSED SEASON ON MOOSE.
The state game department is not
in receipt of information regarding the
shooting. With Deputy Whitehead
making an investigation, however. 1t
expects to receive the full particulars
later. Chief Clerk Cliff stated that this
Is the first time that he can remember
of a fatal shooting of the character
