Deer Butchered ut Lake Coeur d'Alenc.
Spokane Chronicle: In former
years the paradise of the hunter, es.
pecially for deer, was in the gulches
and the park-like openings along
the northern shore Of Ceur d'Alene
lake. That region would make one
of the best natural preserves for the
deer that could be selected. But
now a deer is rarely seen in that
section of the country, aud the
reason of the scarcity is reported
by John Jagels, who is engaged at
mining in Lost Cabin camp.
He says a party of fishermen
camped on the lake catching fish
for the markets, make it part. oil
their business to capture deer by
chasing them into the lake and
shooting them when in the water.
They have a pack of swift hounds
trained for the express purpose. In
this way they have killed many
deer this winter. Their work is in
violation of the statutes of Idaho
but it does not seem that the set
tiers in that section have invoked
the law against them. AS the Cnul
d 'Alene lake hunting grounds are
within the bailiwick of the Spokane
Rod and Gun Club it is suggested
it would be we'll for its members t
take the matter in hand.
