Lawrence county, while not serving under a com¬ 
mission of this board, was killed for doing our 
work. * * *” (Report Penn. Game Commission, 
1906, p. 11.) 
The frequency with which wardens are shot 
suggests inquiry as to what punishment is meted 
out to their assailants and-what redress they can 
obtain. Only a few cases can be mentioned in 
this connection. 
Shortly after the passage of the Maine law 
prohibiting hounding, Warden Lyman O. Hill, on 
Nov. 8, 1886, killed a dog belonging to a man 
named Calvin P. Graves, whereupon Graves shot 
and killed the warden and his companion. Graves 
was sentenced on May 1, 1887, to life imprison¬ 
ment, and this sentence was later commuted to 
twenty-five years; good behavior still further 
shortened the term, and early in 1906 he was 
released, after spending twenty years in jail. 
(Forest and Stream, XXVII., p. 308, Nov. 11, 
1886; Maine Sportsman, XIII., p. 158, Apr. 6, 
1906.) 
I11 the same year that Graves was released, 
Seely Houk, a deputy game warden of Pennsyl¬ 
vania, disappeared March 2, 1906, and after the 
lapse of some weeks his body was found in the 
Mahoning River weighted down with stones. In¬ 
vestigation showed that he had been shot by a 
man named Rocca Racca who was duly con¬ 
victed of the killing, but what the sentence was 
is- not stated.’ (Report Game Comm. Penn., 
1908, p. 25.) 
In October, 1908, deputy C. B. Peyton was 
killed while attempting to arrest a band of Flat- 
head Indians near Swan River, Montana. At 
the following session of the Legislature a joint 
resolution was passed providing for the appoint¬ 
ment of his widow as a deputy game warden at 
his former salary of $125 per month. This 
method of making an appropriation by resolu¬ 
tion was found to be unconstitutional, and the 
State auditor .refused to draw a warrant for her 
salary. Later she was appointed as assistant in 
the office of the State warden. (Forest and 
Stream, LXXI., p. 816, Nov. 21, 1908; American 
Field, LXXI., p. 607, June 26, T909 ) This action 
is worthy of note as hitherto little or no pro¬ 
vision had been made for injuries sustained by 
wardens in the performance of their duty. Mass¬ 
achusetts, however, is a notable exception to the 
rule. Six years ago, on Oct. 14, 1906, Deputy 
Adam J. Rausch, while attempting to arrest a 
game law violator 1 near Lawrence, received a 
charge of shot in his chest. Lhider a special act 
of the Legislature an appropriation of $2000 was 
made as compensation for his injury. (Resolves 
Mass., 1907, chap. 70, p. loot.) Last January 
Deputy Nixon, who was injured while pursuing 
a game law violator, died from embolism after 
being confined to the hospital for six weeks. 
Lhider a special act of the Legislature his hos¬ 
pital expenses amounting to $423 were paid, and 
an annuity of $500 for a period of five years 
was provided for his minor children. I11 one or 
two other cases in which deputies have been in¬ 
capacitated, their salaries have been allowed to 
continue for some months while the}' were un¬ 
able to perform active service. In one instance 
a deputy contracted tuberculosis while on duty, 
but drew his salary for nearly two years, al¬ 
though unable to perform active duty much of 
the time. 
Most States are well able to provide for in¬ 
juries sustained by their puisne servants, and it
