HOW TO TREAT THE LAW VIOLATORS An Itasca County Game Case Treat- ed Editorially by the Mesaba Ore. Editor C. M. Atkinson, of the Me- saba Ore, published at Hibbing, is a sportsman of the “legit” class who abhors) the patrons of pot hunters and overlooks no opportunity to show up these law violators in their proper light. Here is one of his comments on a recent case tried in Grand Ra- pids through the efforts of Game Warden “Harry:* “A highly respected physician of Crookston. tried and convicted im an Itasca coun ty court for violation of the stafe game laws. It was proved that whilé on, aj hunting trip in the county men- tioned’ last fall the doctor had pur- chased} the carcass of a deer from a pot-hunter, and ha@ taken it to his home where he proudly displayed it as a trophy of his prowess. The doc- tor declares he will appeal the case, but it ‘will only further advertise the fact that; he is) a law-breaker, and a mighty mean one at that. This practice of buying deer and moose to take home thas been carried on to} a great extent in the game countries of the state, and the effort to break up the practice is a most commend- able one. Every fall comes big dele- gations of alleged hunters from the cities, but they could'nt kill a deer if the deer were as numerous and as affectionate as (the dogs in Hib- bing. Yet they never return to their homes empty handed. There is a gang of useless members of society that hang about the kamps of these for- eign hunters, and they do nearly all of the killing, for which they. accept money from the very respectable | gentlemen who need the deer to make the showing with. And thus the pot | hunter drives a thriving business dur- ing the hunting season—after the hunting season he sells his deer and moose to the logging camp operat- ors. To buy or sell game of this} kind is {n violation of the statd law, yet these professional men, who prob- ably are closely, identified with cturch movement and who are looked upon as exemplary citizens at home, do not hesitate a moment to enter ito an illegal transaction with a pot hunter. All of the elements of the true sportsmen are lost, and it will be well for the game fields if such law-breakers are kept out. A man who will thus violate one law of the state will not hesitate to violate an- other when the opportunity presents itself, and he is not a safe man in which to place a trust.
