WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Dec. 27.-Dep-
uty Game Warden A. L. Lord, Of White
Birch, this county, is following up the
law-breaking hunters who kill deer out
of season with such vigor and persist
ence that he has earned the enmity of
the many lawless pot-hunters who
abound in his domain. Last Sunday
Lord made coup by Selling
some 500 pounds of venison which
had been killed by some hunters
from Cleveland, O. They had left the
state and made arrangements before
they went to have the game follow them
by express, but Lord bounced upon it
and sold it at auction. So strong is the
feeling among the poaching hunters
against him that at least two have
threatened to kill him on sight. Lord
is half-breed Indian and says: "ThaS's

the office was a desire to protect the
game from destruction, and he proposes

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-There is little hope
of the safety of the two British detach-
