THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 



ARTHUR S. HUBBARD. 



Deputy Game Warden Arthur S. Hubbard of Ash- 

 land was killed in the performance of his duty as a 

 state officer on December 17, 1914. He was sent to 

 the upper Trail Creek country to arrest a game law 

 violator by the name of Loris Martin. Mr. Hubbard 

 had secured evidence to prove that Martin was killing 

 deer out of season. Soon after, he came upon Martin 

 in the mountains, jumped from his horse and walked 

 quietly toward him to place him under arrest. Hub- 

 bard made no effort whatever to draw a gun. Yet 

 when within a few feet, Martin fired with his rifle at 

 his hip, killing Mr. Hubbard instantly. 



Arthur S. Hubbard was born near Eedcling, Cali- 

 fornia, February 14, 1877. He lived in northern Cali- 

 fornia until 1902 when he moved to Ashland. He was 

 married in 1904. In July, 1911, he entered the service 

 of the state as deputy game warden. He was a member 

 of the Order of Macabees and also of the Ashland 

 Lodge of Elks. He leaves a wife, Dora L. Hubbard, 

 and two small children.
