Last fall 2 contemptible game butchers 

 were arrested by Nelson Yarnall, his 

 brother Silas Yarnall, and Jack McCabe in 

 the Wind River country, charged with 

 killing elk for the teeth. The teeth hunt- 

 ers were taken before Richard Green, Jus- 

 tice of the Peace at Dubois, Wyo., where 

 one of the men, Rudolph Rosencrans, 

 pleaded guilty to the killing of 26 elk, and 

 was fined $25 and costs, the total amount 

 being $38.80. The other 'butcher was al- 

 lowed to go free. The Wyoming law pro- 

 vides a minimum fine of $25, and a maxi- 

 mum fine of $100 and imprisonment for 6 

 months for the crime with which these 

 men were charged, and it is a shame and 

 disgrace to the State of Wyoming that a 

 man who would release a confessed cul- 

 prit such as Rosencrans on so light a pun- 

 ishment, should be allowed to occupy the 

 position of a magistrate. At this rate Jus- 

 tice Green seems to figure the value ©f a 



bull elk at about $1.49! I trust Justice 

 Green's neighbors will see to it that when 

 his term of office expires he shall be al- 

 lowed tt- retire t« private life.
