the provincial Attorney Generals department said today a judge was wrong in his decision that mooseare not technically wildlife and that the department has ordered an appeal of the acquittal Aug 16 of a Smithers area big game guide on a charge of shooting moose out of season The attorney generals deputy solicitor also confirmed that the department will order a new trial for guide John Bertram Holmes on a charge of taking animals from a trapline of which he was not the registered holder Holmes was fined 400 on that charge Deputy solicitor Robert Simpson said We feel the judge was wrong in his decision that it was not shown sufficiently that moose are wildlife under the Wildlife Act He added The 400 fine for illegal trapp ing is entirely inadequate considering the value of the furs The sentence was all out of proportion Prosecutor Selwyn Romilly who argued the Crowns case in Smithers Aug 16 said the new trial will probably be heard by county court Judge JT Harvey Oct 15 although a date has not been made official It was alleged during the original trial that Holmes killed moose out of season near his guiding territory on the StiWne River 300 miles north of Smithers The charge was dis dismissed � missed on the legal technicality that moose are not officially categorized wildlife as stated in the charge Charges of possessing five moose hides in closed season and of unlawfully trapping wolves were also dismissed vy Arab gunmen raid embassy PARIS CP Three Arab We are waiting to see how he was a member of thei gunmen invaded the Saudi the negotiations turn out he
