PoTEET INVESTIGATING
pYNAMTTING IN DISTRICT
Game Warden l.. A. Poteet has been
working in the Cripple Greek district
a few days this week investigating
the dynamiting of reservoirs in that
vicinity. He states that so far the OIL
ficers have found no clew as to the
real intention of the crime. Sheriff
Won Puhlof Teller county. is of the
opinion that the dynamiting was done
by demented person who has fan
cied grievance against the district
which he is trying to satisfy by inter
fering with the water supply. At the
spot where the shots we're hred the
fish were too small to use. A watch
man lives close by and the dynamit-
ers would not have had time TO have
secured the fish had that been their
intention. Mr. Smith. superintendent
of the water company, has offered
reward of 800 for evidence leading to
the conviction of the guilty party or
parties.
