Using a crude moose fashioned

himself in the city Jail in Winston
Salem early Tuesday morning.
Wanted for investigation in the

proved that he was in jail in Florida
on the day of the murder. Reports
from Allegheny state that on the
contrary, it was considered that he
was either connected with the muir
der directly or knew a good deal
about it.

PEOPLE MUST COOPERATE

Following up number of COM
plants sent in from Ashe to the
State Department of Game Conser-
walton, H. Grady Farthing, district
game warden, and H. T. Goodman,
county warden, are preparing to
vigorously prosecute all persons
who are found violating the law rel
alive to allowing sawdust in streams.
The state department has spent a
big amount of money trying to stock
the various streams here and it does
not feel that it is fair for a few
thoughtless and careless persons to
hinder the work.
At present, arrangements are be-
ing made to get bass and trout in
large numbers from federal hatch
cries and place in the county waters,
but to protect the fish after they
are put here, the game warden and
deputies have been given strict or
ders to indict any persons response
BILE for letting sawdust accumulate
in the streams since it means certain
death to the fish.
Mr.. Farthing, who was in the city
Tuesday, reports that the work in
Ashe is moving along splendidly and
that the department is very much
pleased with the progress that is be-
ing made.
