Unable to pay the fine he is serving the sentence out in the county Jail. Cormlcan was arrested Friday by Deputy Game Wardens V. Bur-rington and H. J. Axland when they came upon him in the forest bleeding both a buck deer and a doe, killed but a short distance apart.

When arraigned In county justice court he gave his name as C. McCormick of Faith, S. D. Later investigation set In motion by the game wardens and the local sheriff's office disclosed wide discrepancies in the description of the man and the description on the hunting license issued in the name of McCormick at Spearfish. Questioned by officers he admitted that he was not McCormick but that his name was Cormlcan and gave a number of versions of how he came in possession of the license, the last to the effect that "he saw the license lying on a table and picked it up." McCormick, a well-known Faith business man, is believed to be hunting in the Southern Hills, friends who visited Deadwood yesterday from that place stated.

The latter developments cropped up after Cormlcan had been sen tenced In the Lead court charged only with killing the doe. Investigation into the entire matter, officers declared, will be continued until it has been clearly established how Cormlcan came into possession of the license. Pioneer-Times.
