NAVAJO COUNTY MAN
CONTENDS HAS RIGHT
ANTlERS NE FOUND

PHOENIX, April ls.-A tang;e /
tale of tangled deer horns is thu.
which comes out of Navajo county
with the serving OF an order on joe
v. Prochaska. state game warden
notifying him TO return forwith 10
Navajo county the evidence in til,
Tom Smith case
Prochaska, through George Har-
bin, special counsel for the state.
VIII take an appeal 10 the supreme
court, on the grounds that he is the
proper custodian OF the horns in
question. ard in the mean time
steps are being instituted by him 10
determine whether he or the supe..
visor of national forest has juris-
diction in the matter OF game resar.
vations on national forest lands.
Pending the settlement OF these
suits. the horns. which had been
seized by Prochaska were placed in
storage with a Holbrook merchan:
Afterward they were sent to Phoe-
nix. This last step. according to
Judge Crosby OF the superior court
OF Navajo county was in violation
with the stipulation entered into
between the game warden. his a.
torneys and Julia Braam, attorney
for Smith.
In the mean time the supervisor
of the Kaibab National Forest has
written the game warden demandir :,
to know by wha; authority ne had
Tom Smith arrested. inasmuch as he.
the supervisor. had given him PEI
mission to pick up the deer horns.
This letter will be answered by
making the supervisor co-defeaa-
ant with Smith. on the grounds tina;
he aided and abetted Smith in VIC,
lating the state game law.
This latter development will force
into the court a question which has
never come up before. namely
whether the state game warden has
. right TO enforce the state game
laws in the national parks. or wheth-
sole control of the federal supervi-
sors.
