Hunters are coming in grumbling
of the poor hunting weather. There
seems to be no scarcity of game, but
there has really been no tracking
snow, which is very necessary to still

to speak of. Only those who get in a
good place, get thoroughly acquainted
with it, and watch the crossings, are
successful. Among those who follow
this plan may be named Judge Pro-
per and Daniel Black, each of whom
have killed about a dozen deer this
season.

of warning because we understand
that our county Supt. is to suffer be
