Michigan game wardens have been called upon to solve a knotty problem brought to their notice by a fullblooded Chippewa Indian, Antoine Rivard, of Fort Wayne, this state, says the South Bend Tribune. He had been up to the north woods hunting and was proceeding homeward with a good supply of venison. At Grand Rapids he was arrested on the charge of shipping game out of the state. Iu the police court of that city be was arraigned, pleaded not guilty, and then proceeded to argue his own case, surprising the judge, the wardens and the learned lawyers of the town by informing them that he was an Indian and had a right under an old law of the state to shoot deer and do what he pleased with the remains. ! The case has been continued in order that the game wardens may have an opportunity of examining the law.
