A VALUABLE DEPUTATION ; 0,e Hnd He*n tying for Twenty Year* and Hnd Made a Maine for Hlraaelf. “A business matter took me out west last fall," said the well-known at torney, who was in'a reminiscent mood, relates the Detroit Free Press, “and I took advantage of the opportunity to make a trip into the mountains for a week’s hunting. I hired an old man to act as a guide and do the cooking, and I enjoyed myself to the utmost. The mountains were full of big game, but the state had lately passed a law prohibiting the killing of deer, which was particularly aggravating, as we were continually running across them. Now I am a respecter of the law—un less I am retained on the other side— and 1 found it hard work to refrain from shooting at the deer that present ed themselves ns if they knew that they were free from danger. But along to ward the last our meat ran out, and 1 told the old man that we would have to have some fresh meat even if we had to kill a deer. He agreed with me, and it wasn't ten minutes later that a deer sprang up ahead of us. I wasn’t pre pared for him, but the guide was, and he made a clean miss, much to his dis gust. That was the last deer that we saw-, and we returned without having broken the law-. But no sooner had we arrived at the point where we had started from than the old man was ar rested for killing a deer. <*nd I took it upon myself to defend him. as I knew him to be innocent. I took the stand in his behalf. and thinking it best to make a clenn breast of the mat ter, T admitted that he had shot at a deer, but missed him. Then 1 put the old man on the stand to cor roborate my testimony. “ ‘You admit having shot at the deer?’ said 1, when the old man took the stand. '* Tliet's what!' he answered. “ ‘And you missed him?’ I contin ued. “ No. siree!’ he shouted. ‘1 killed him. b’gee!* “That took the wind out of my sail* and 1 collapsed, the result being that the old man was fined $25. “After the trial 1 took him aside J and asked him what he meant bj’ | swearing to a lie and convicting him i self. j “‘See hyar,” he answered, ‘I’ve bin | lyin' fer JO“years about never havin' 1 missed a deer Diet 1 shot at, an’ ve ; don't think Diet I would ruin ruy rep utation fer $25 do ye?” Vn Order in Council. | Washington, April 20.
