Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1903-12-14

Perhaps 5000 more deer were killed
in the woods of northern Wisconsin
during the open season of 1903 than in
the open season a year ago, according
to the return of shipping stubs to the
Office of Warden Overlook in the cap
itol and the reports of deputy wardens
who were working in the deer coun-
try. A significant TACT swelling the dlf-
terence IN the slaughter or 1905 and
1902 was that the residents or the deer
counties hunted net nearly or half as
much last year as they ala this. Last
year there was little or no snow and
most OF the hunting was done by Wis
consin and other hunters who jour
neyed to the hunting woods. Last
year the total number of deer shipped
out OF the state % aon-resIGenJs MAS
$40, the number this year beins 515,
year the total number or deer shipped
by railroads and express companies
TO holders of resident hunting licenses
IN Wisconsin was 1866, the number
this year being 1902. The total
shipped last year by residents and
non-residents was 3,6l7, and this year
the number was over ALT, differ
ence in shipments of over AL. This
difference, it is believed, would be
brought up TO more than 5000 if the
increased number of deer killed by
residents of the deer counties were
coanted. The most important reasons
for the increased slaughter OF deer are
the tact of plenty of snow in the woods
this year, and also that through great
er protection for the past few years
the deer have increased in numbers.

May Argue Schissler Case.
The supreme court will meet tomOr-
row at 10 o'clock to hand down deci-
sions of Appalled, cases previously
argued and to take up the argument OF
cases on the next assignment. One OF
the cases which may be argued on the
next assignment IS the appeal of Al.
Schissler of Milwaukee, convicted OF
killing F. William Reul of WATERFOWL
almost a year ago in Milwaukee, while
Reul, a young bank clerk, was in
carriage with a party of four, one Of
the women being the wife of Schissler,
a saloon keeper. There is some doubt
still, however, whether the printed
case and the preparations of the alter
neys will be ready for the argument at
this assignment, in which event the
argument of the appeal would be de-
layed until the next sitting Of the
court, late in December or early in
January.

up for consideration at the meeting of

BOARD ELECTS ToNNINc
mars Next Superintendent Of
City Schools.

At the regular meeting of the school
DO ard held Wednesday evening the
resignation of Supt. Kilgore of the

the Madison schools, was elected as
his successor. Prof. Tonning will as

gore is effective.
Prof. Tonning has been superinten~
dent of the city schools at Madison
for the past seven years. He is grad
uated from the state university with
the degree of A. B. aud as an instruc-
tor stands high in educational circles.
Among the many recommendations
accompanying his application, were
several from Madison citizens, who
regret very much to lose him from
among that city's educators.
There were about fifty applicants
for the position, among whom was
one from as far east as New York
state, and the problem of choosing a
man that would be considered a wise
selection was not an easy one for the
board. Conferences had been held
previous to the regular meeting and
the list Of candidates considered was
reduced to those within the state.
Profs. II. S. Hilleboe, of Benson, II.
c. White of Princeton, and Williams
OF Kasson, were among those who re
ceived due consideration at the hands
of the board.
Clerk Berkness on Thursday sent
Mr.. Tonning notification of his selec.
ton and that gentleman's resignation
as superintendent Of the schools at
Madison is next in order.

stricken over the death of the wife
