ALASKAN GAME COMMISSION
IS ACTIVE
The Executive Office ci the
Alaska Game Commission lias re
ceived reports of recent cases in
the Fairbanks and Anchorage
region.
George Mellich, and alien, com
monly known as “Bolshevik
George,” was apprehended by
Warden Frank Dufresne of Fair
banks, accompanied by Deputy
Marshal James Hagen of Nenana.
Mellich was engaged in trapping
without an Alien Special License.
It seems that Mellich had full
knowledge of the license being
required and had indicated that
he would not take out such a
license. After being found with a
fox in one of his traps and two
rifles in his possession, he was still
given an opportunity to escape
prosecution by taking out the Alien
Special License. He refused to do
this; a case was filed against him
at Nenena for illegal trapping and
he demanded a jury trial. He was
convicted, fined $150 and sen
tenced to 60 days in jail.
The other case is reported by
Warden A. H. Hardy, of Anchor
age, who states that S. F. Rhodes,
a fur dealer of Anchorage was
found to have purchased on or
before December 14th., 47 musk
rat and 16 mink skins recently
caught, all of which were unprime
and taken before the season opened.
In addition he had failed to keep
records of this transaction. A
complaint containing three counts
was filed against him at Anchorage.
Tho first count charged possession
of unprime muskrat pelts, second
unprime mink pelts, and third for
failure to keep records of the
purchase. A plea of not guilty was
entered and the trial set for De
cember 21st. No report has yet
been received of the termination
of the case.

to be punished.
He returned shop and said:
