V Nardens Powers Aboue The Law

Under a law passed by the last Congress, game wardens or any official connected with the Game Commission may enter any gas boat, scoW, dwelling, cabin or hame and search the premises without search warrant. Not withstanding constitutional pro visions to the contrary, the petty bureaucratic servants of the people, considered themselves above the law. They may search any habitation without warrant.
 We have heard some mutter- ings that sound like dead men tell no tales, if anybody tries to search my outfit without a legal warrant"
 If a search of a premises with owners permission is illegal, how then can a search of premises without a warrant and without the owners permission be legal

BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?

One thousand persons were re- gently gathered at a Chippewa Indian cemetery four miles from Cloquet, Minn., to watch for an apparition seen for a week in an old burial ground.
 The phenomenon, witnesses say, took the form of two lights, similar to the headlights of an automobile. The lights were reported as rising from the ground, turning red at times and either f1utter away or disappear when approached.
 The apparition was reported by some folks to have appeared nine days after the burial of an Indian woman in the cemetery Two Indian men walking near the cemetery first told of the strange phenomenon.
 Recently other Indians took a practical method of disposing of the apparltion, but without sue cess. They told townspeople that they fired two shots at the apparition, only to "hear t whimper like a baby" and f1itte1 away.
