g. 800 Deer Killed.

Negaunee, Mich, Dec. Sit is the
opinion of those in position to know
that less than half the number of deer
was slaughtered this season than last
year in the upper peninsula. While the
deer were apparently more plentiful
than ever before. the absence of snow
proved bar to the hunters, as the rus
tie of the fallen foliage warned the
game. Twelve thousand and seventy
two licenses were issued in upper penin-
sula counties. A careful estimate of
deer killed is about $500.
