To viii Lynch and John Berg be-
long, as nearly as we can figure ont.
the distinction of bringing in the hrst
deer of the season of 1908. These two
boys went down on the plains early
Sunday morning and before they had
been there long a yearling buck hove
into sight. Will Lynch got bead on
him and before Mr. Buck knew what
happened the two boys had him for
their meat They brought him to
town at once aid were proud III ex-
hibition Of their prize.
The story of a Menominee man nav
ing been arrested near Balsam for
hunting deer out OF season was a pure
fake. A bunch of Menominee fellows
make that country each year for a
hunting trip and about the first thing
they do is 10 write some warn to
the Herald. Last year they wrote down
telling Of the death Of one of their
number and the paper had notice OF
the mans death. His relatives donned
crepe and made arrangements for the
funeral when, imagine their surprise
to see the fellow step of the train as
lively corpse as had ever been seen.
This year they sent down the story Of
the fellow arrest with, probably, the
same idea in view.
One Of the most interesting hunting
camps on the river is that peopled by
Earnest Munns, Frank Ball Frank
Cole and several other Of the boys
about town. Earnest Munns is in
possession of copmass but he can
use ham sandwich much better and
for that reason was elected guide
Munns gets lost there times day
regular and when he finds himself its
necessary for him to go out and locate
the others Of the party and thus the
day is taken up.
There were twenty two TO dinner in
the Hunting Club lodge OH Sunday.
Everyone reports having had an ex-
cellent time and the future Of the
hunting club is assured, unless Fred
Miller appetite should send the thing
glimmering when he puts in his appear
ance.
There was an awful rumpus down on
the plains on Tuesday. People in the
south end OF the city thought that q
cyclone was coming but 1t turned out
to be rapid firing stunt by q. @.
Maccomber. Chss. Henderson, Chss.
Evits and Mr.. Maccomber went ont
to get a deer that afternoon. Mac
comber was the acknowledged best
shot" in the party and when they spied
fair sized buck quietly grazing on
the side Of n knoll few rods away
Maccomber was delegated to lay him
low. Mac" emptied his magazine
at the buck. the gun getting so hot
that he had to put on his mittens to
hold it. After IA shots the buck got
disgusted and quietly walked away
while Mac considered the adj
visibility OF tapping the long distance
wlre few rods away. and telephon-
ing back for some more ammunition.
Evits was provided with bird shct only
and although he took parting shot
at the deer with Bert Henderson s
Barker he couldn't make good.
Later on Chas Henderson found deer
further along on the plains and the
trio returned happy in spirit and
with great tales Of their marksman-
ship.
Supt j. $. Wall had an experience,
also. He was walking along an old
road and tripped on "A root aud fell.
The muzzle Of his new gun was jam
med into the ground and he ran a
silver into his hand He arose and
removed the silver and what he sup
posed was all Of the sand from the
muzzle OF his gun. About Ave minutes
afterwards along came three deer and
the Captain let go both barrels The
result was a miniature Sahara sand
spout and when the Captain pulled
himself together he found that globe
had been blown on the butt end OF the
barrel Of his gun. He quit the chase
Immediately.
