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?”
