HUNTERS KILL EACH OTHER

A Curious Theory OF the Conditions of
Homicides In the Woods.
The Maine hunters who have shot at
men under the impression that they
were deer have proved excellent marks
men this year. Though none Of the hui
man targets was nearer than 200 yards,
and some fully 1000 yards away, Of the
10 shot at II have either fallen dead or
died within Q few minutes, and Of the
wounded two viii be crippled for life.
II Ii good target marlnman who can
hit an object the size Of q man ut 200
yards, shooting offhand with open
sight. The Maine hunters shoot
through brush and over uneven ground
In bad light. and have made better
score than the average rifle experts.
A great many strange deductions
have been drawn from these facts, the
most interesting Of which Is the belief
that the men who did the shooting
knew ct the time that they were firing
at q man and couldn't help It. Nearly
every homicide was q novice In deer
hunting. He was making his first trip
after big game, and was nerved up to q
high mental tension in expectation Of
seeing game. After hunting for few
hours under such strain he lost con.
troll Of his muscles and became an au-
tomaton, and shot at the first object
that came in sight. If deer CHANGED
to come along at that time the deer fell,
and the hunter was applauded for his
good craftsmanship, and II he killed q
man under the impression that he was
shooting at q deer. he received q lot of
sympathy for his misfortune, and was
asked how he happened to make such
fine shot.
More than half of the homicides have
said that they felt they were shooting
ut man the moment they pulled the
trigger, though they had been sure II
was q deer an instant before. The
realization Of the facts came to them
when II was too late.-N. Y. Sun.
