Trouble Over a Deer in Clay Township
Deputy Game Protector H Heller and Constable Lollar seized a live wild deer from Grant Steinmetz in Clay Township. The act of 1909 bans possession during the closed season, with November the open period. The deer, first brought by Haby Rudy in 1910, had escaped multiple chases before ending with Steinmetz. The case may be withdrawn and the animal turned over to the state for a game preserve.
