TONK|N CAPTURES PAIR
OF ANTELOPE IRAPPERS

George Tonkin, formerly game
warden for this section and now ira
yelling game warden, was responsible
-Or the arrest in Lakeview last week
of James Baldwin and Arthur Thomas
recently convicted of killing antelope,
and fined 5000 each. In addition the
men who are citizens of the world.
| face a charge of cattle rustling and
| killing.
Warden Tonkin admits that in maxi
| ing he arrest he had a hard job on
I his hands. To get Thomas. he had
TO travel 1870 miles over the desert
north of Lakeview to Catalo valley,
while Baldwin was apprehended in
Goose Lake valley. Both were run
ming trap lines and using antelope
meat Tor bait. Antelope are protect
ed by both state and federal acts and
punishment for violation is so severe
that little trouble has been experience
cd with hunters.
The capture of the two law breakers
forms a part of the last activities OF
Mr.. Tonkins as game warden, for on
December 10 his resignation to the
State Fish and Game Commission be-
comes effective, as he is accepting |
position as United States Game War
den for the United States Biological |
Survey. His territory will be Eastern
Oregon and the Southern Idaho dis
tricts with headquarters at Boise,
Idaho. Protection Of birds and game
sheltered by government laws will be
the chief part of his new duties.
Mr. Tonkin has headed the attack
against illegal deer killing in Oregon
for four years. first as district game
warden for Umatilla county. and later
as travelling game warden. Officials
of the commission regarded him as the
best warden in Oregon for hunting
down deer killers. He has operated
for three winters in South Central
Oregon.

Newlove also declined to remain
here to aid the police when he had

and declined to permit other members
of the detail to remain.
Bandits Companions SUSPECTED.
Although no new evidence has been
uncovered concerning the mysterious
murder of Matthews, police inspec-
tors. after a complete review of the
unusual circumstances of the shooting
are almost~unanimous in an opinion
that the two companions of the MUIR
dered soldier were implicated in the
affair
discriminating themselves by hiding,
the two civilian companions of Mat
thews, who were standing on either
side of him when he was shot, have
made it a very difficult matter for
them to explain their part in the af-
air, should they be captured by the
oolice. according to inspectors of the
police department.

VICTIMS COMPANIONS
ARE UNDER SUSPICION

PORTLAND, Dec. 1.-THE uniden-
titled slayer of Private NJ. A. Matth
ews. medical corps, Camp Lewis, as
well as the two civilians said to have
been accomplices, were rank amateurs
at highway robbery. This is the opin-
ion of several police inspectors after
reviewing evidence amassed in an ef
fort to find the three men present
when Matthews was killed at Eleventh
and Main streets Monday night.
Inspectors point out that the re-
volver from which the fatal bullet
was fired must have been discharged
accidently, or in the excitement of the
moment by one unfamiliar with his
nefarious work, for Matthews is said
to have offered no resistance to the
holdup.
Bandit Takes Flight.
After the shooting the bandit fled
without attempting to rob his victim,
for. it is said, his money was un-
touched.
Practically certain that the two men
with Matthews were accomplices of
the highwayman who killed the
young soldier, inspectors are redeub-
ling their efforts on the search. They
are not receiving cooperation from
Major George Newlove, in charge of
the detail, en- route to Corvallis, of
which Matthews was member. New
love Tuesday evening refused to order

On the Eleventh street side the show
