o. Arc the Indians allowed to dis

a. The Office of Indian Affairs
states that the Indians have no right
to hunt outside of their own reser-
walton without complying with the
game laws. Indians may hunt within
their reservation without complying
with the state game laws. but the In
dian Office endeavors to have them
observe the same rules so far as may
be practicable. However. as Indians
are more largely dependent upon game
for their living. it is not practicable
to limit them absolutely to the state
game laws. so long as they stay within
their own reservation.

other was high precipice projecting
over Wheeling creek, 300 feet below.
