Frequent complaints have been received by Delegate Wickersham that the present game regulations of the Alaska Game Commission are working a hardship on many Alas kans, including trappers. traders and prospectors. A recent petition has been received from the Fourth division, with 326 signatures of residents from Tacotna, MeGrath, Beetles, Alat Ia, Tanana, Kokrines, Flat. Shageluk, Healy, Fork, Anchor age, Hurricane, Rampant, Ruby, Tolovana and a few scattering loca- tions, praying for the repeal Of the present law and the enactment of Congressional legislation that would protect the game and fur-bearing animals and which would meet with the approbation of the people of the Territory. A letter received in connection with the petition com plains that the most obnoxious part of the present regulations is the personal sealing clause, as in many cases the expense of sealing costs more than the. value of the catch. The Delegate has taken these matters up with the various Departments and Committees in- terested and hopes tc secure satis- factory changes in the present laws and regulations

Mrs. Bessie Swindling. charged
with petit larceny in connection with
the theft Of q number of articles from

found guilty after a trial before Po-
lice Magistrate E. s. Allen Thursday

ney for Burleigh county, rested the
case for the state at 3 p. m. after he
had called 10 witnesses to testify for
the prosecution.
The failure on the part Of LANCER
to call any OF the defense witnesses
came as a surprise to those attend
ing the hearing.
Mrs. swindling, a comedy matron
in the thirties, sat on the lap Of her
husband during most Of the pro-
ceedings, the cynosure Of all eyes.
She was apparently very much at

counsel. From time to time she
turned TO two other young women
who had accompanied her to the
court room and made whispered re-
marks to them. When witnesses
were directed to look. at her for pur-
poses Of Identification, her composufe
did not leave her as she calmly re-
turned their Ecrlitinv.
The larceny charges grew out of an
action brought by the management Of
the Woolworth company who stated
in their complaint that she had taken
a number Of miscellaneous articles
from the store by concealing them
under her coat and depositing them
In a parked automobile. The man.
ager, assistant manager and q num-
Der Of sales girls testified against her.
Court officials stated Thursday It
Is .nossible that action will be taken
