FINED $50 AND COSTS H. Ward of Fairmont Found Guilty of Ship ping Cow Moose Meat CASE WILL BE APPEALED DISTRICT COURT. Result of the Trial is Regarded as Victory for Game and Fish Commission. B. H. Ward of Fairmont, Minn., formerly a member of the state game and fish commission, was 'Friday found guilty at Northome of shipping by Northern Pacific express from Northome to Fair mont a quarter of moose meat to gether with the hide, the same being a portion of the carcass of a female moose. Ward was sen tenced to pay a fine of $50 and costs, which amount to $217, in default of the payment of which he must serve 90 days in theFormer Itasca county jail. The case is interesting to resi dents of the north country as ^weli as to those of southern Min nesota, where Ward is well known. The defense in the case started with the contention that Ward killed a bull moose and that the case was the result of a conspiracy on the part of Samuel F. Fullerton, executive agent of the game and fish commission, to even up an old score. Evidence by the state established the fact that the complaint against Ward had been made by settlers living .near Northome and that Fuller ton did not know of the suspicion against Ward until after a com panion of Ward's who hunted with him near Northome last fall had been arrested. The defense then claimed that the meat and hide shipped to Fairmont had been given to Ward by a young min named Emil Dybdahl and that_ Ward did not know whether it was a part of the carcass of a male or female moose. The state then produced as evidence the heads of three moose killed by the party to which Ward belonged when he hunted near Northome last fall and the hides of two moose killed by members of the party, accord to testimony by B. P. Bo^d, who was convicted of killing a cow moose and fined $50 and costs The register of a hotel at Miz pah was introduced as evidence by the state and it was shown that while stopping at the hotel Ward had registered the names of the members of his party and written on the register "Big moose hunters, killed three moose and two deer." Evidence was also produced by the state Showing that the members sign ed their names on the door jamb of a Jog cabin to a statement as jfollows "Killed one moose to day." One witness testified that Ward had offered him the shoulder of a moose that had been left in tne woods when the animal had been dressed but that when he went there with a wagon to haul it away Ward objected to hisping carrying it oft, saying it ought to be worth 15. Ward stated to the Pioneer *mmm TO OFFICERS OF SCHOOL BOARD Rings! gs! Rings! In rings WE TAKE the lead.

ITCHIN cZEMA In July, 1883, I began to break out with Eczema on my head, legs and arms, and began treatment with local doctors, but did not get much relief. They said the dis ease had become chronic. I then quit them and tried various ointments and soaps for another two years, but as soon as cold weather came I was as bad off asever, so I finally decided to let medicine alone, and for twelve or thirteen years did nothing towards curing the Eczema, except bath ing. This seemed to do about as much good as anything I had tried. During the time I lost about one-half of my hair. I began S S.
