MANY HUNTERS
DEAD OR HUR!
DEER SEASON SHOWS STARTLING
INCREASE IN FATALITIES.
KILLED 26; WOUNDED 81
Large Number Mistaken for Deer, but
Accidental Discharges Harm Major
ity-Carelessness More Evident
Lists in Wisconsin and Michigan
Are Lengthy.

The total number of the dead so far
this year in Wisconsin and northern
Michigan is 26, and 81 were wounded.
More hunters were killed this year by
the accidental discharge of their own
guns than ever before. A great num-
Der of the dead were mistaken for deer
by over-anxious hunters. One man
was killed by a bullet from his gun,
while knocking apples from tree with
it, preparatory to going on a hunt.
Brother killed brother, relative killed
relative and friend killed friend,
though by accident. The northern
woods during the hunting season seem
to offer about the same kind of exhil.
Grafton as the skirmish line in a battle.
The farmers IN the hunting area live
in constant dread and anguish.
School children were often kept at
home for fear of accidents. One old
man was driving into Arpin when a
stray bullet shot his whip out of the
socket. A man ghingling barn was
struck by a bullet and fell off, being
killed At Gillett. Frank Bristeff, aged
13, was wounded by a bullet while
walking across the barnyard of his
fathers farm.
The variety Of accidents is great.
The slaughter Of deer is greater, but
the number OF hunters is still greater.

Duluth, Mimi, Nov. 29.-One of the
most terrific gales in the history of
Wisconsin On the great lakes, even
surprising in fury the terrible storm
of last September in which so many
lives were lost in the vicinity of
Apostle islands, three big lake steam
ers were yesterday driven ashore
within sight of the light house at the
Duluth entrance to the local harbor
and several members of the crew on
one of the boats, the Mataafa, are be-
lieved TO have persisted. The wrecks
are Crescent City, Mataafa and r. W.
England. The storm is thought to
have been a record breaking one For
13 consecutive hours, the velocity of
the viii / averaged 60 miles an hour
and at times 10 miles. The Mataafa
is being pounded to pieces. The crew
of the Crescent City escaped, but the
boat is a total wreck. The r. w.
England is lying on sand and is in no
danger of going to pieces. The Mataa-
fas accident was the most unfortu-
nate of the three. She struck the
north pier of the harbor entrance
while making her way into the harbor,
and was unable to get through the
canal. She swung around and ran
around just north of the pier, where
she is now being raked by the waves.
With thousands of people watching
them, almost within a stones throw
and unable to do anything, the crew
huddled on the stern of the boat
awaiting rescue. The life saving crew
was at work on the England and did
not reach the Mataafa until nearly 6
o'clock and by that time the stern
was almost under water Sometime
before that the men had slipped down
ventilators in the hold of the boat and
none was seen on the stern. Their
only chance is that there may be
some compartment there watertight
to hold them until rescued.
Two of them crawled along the boat
through the fearful waves and made
for the forward part Every wave
dashes completely over her. A third
tried it and gave it up. Many other
vessels narrowly escaned going
aground and nearly all were more or
less damaged

Swept by Terrific Wind.

Detroit, Nov. 29.-Lake Superior
from Duluth to the 500, the upper
peninsula of Michigan, the upper ends
of Lakes Huron and Michigan and the
northern counties of lower Michigan
were swept by terrific wind and
snow storm The blizzard ragged with
40 to 60 miles an hour, and all har
bors from Port Huron north to Lake
Huron and from Sault Ste. Marie
north on Lake Superior are filed with
vessels which have run in for shelter.
Last night it was reported from
SauIt Ste. Marie that the wind had
fallen TO u miles an hour, and that
the weather situation is greatly inn
proved. All boats on the lower end
of Lake Superior are supposed to have
weathered the storm in safety. Scores
of craft are tied up in St Mary's river
and in the vicinity of White Fish
point waiting for clearer weather.
The only accidents to shipping heard
of thus far at the government offices
at the 500 canal are those near Du-
luth.
Marquette reports an unusually
reavy snow storm for this time of the
year, with drifts so high that the train
ano traction service are greatly de-
layed. Tremendous seas are running
on Lake Superior off Marquette har-
bel and more than dozen vessels are
riding out of the gale inside the break
water there Many wires are down
between Marquette and the south and
communication was demoraliZed for a
large part of the day. More than a
foot of snow had fallen about Mar
quette yesterday afternoon.

Lake Huron is at Alpena The barge

SHORT SKIRTS
Light Weight Materials Much in
Demand

There is a positive craze for short
skirts at the present moment. and the
craze Brightly termed) has extended
far beyond what the original designer
ever had in mind The short walking
sl1irt-the ''trottoir,' as the French cali
it's an eminently practical fashion
and now that skirts are so we'll cut and
hung no woman need look ungraceful
in skirt that clears the ground
The fad is by no means a new one,
but never before this season has it ex-
tended to the more elaborate styles of
gowns, while short gowns in a ball
room have not been IN fashion for
many and many a long year. AT the
moment all materials are considered
suitable to be made up into the short
skirt styles, and the most elaborate
lines-cloth, yelling, silk, muslin, linen,
lace, embroidery-are all treated alike.
while for evening wear sIllts, satins,
GAUGES, nets, and tulleS and chihons
share the same fate.
There is undoubtedly something awk-
ward and ungraceful in the spectacle
OF a woman trying to hold up a long.
overturned skirt, and the charmingly
graceful skirt, well hung and so cut
that it stands out around the foot and
fits close around the hips, is fascinat-
ingly becoming. In yelling or silk are
most OF the smartest gowns made up
this season, ard, although at first 1t
does seem inconGruous to have such
elaborate fashion in short gowns, still,
as has been said, the fashion is attrac-
tive and certainly practical.
There always did seem an unpleasing
muslin for morning wear. SO that the
I,cw models. even in the more eiabcr-
ate designs, seem to look especially
well. The taffeta with lace and over
trimmed summer gowns Intended for al
ternoon do not on the contrary look
nearly so smart nor so appropriate when
made short and although there is the
demand for them, it will be noticed that
women who make a study of dress are
ordering the majority of aftern ION
gowns made with long skirts.
In the pongee, taffeta and linen cos
tunes with pIeated skirts and eithef
short jacket. three-quarters or long coat,
as the case may be the short skirts
are by far the sma-test, and then
the palmer styles are also chosen. in
the rougher weaves of pongee there
are the most attractive of coats and
skirts made up, the only trimming pc
ing the fancy buttons that faSten the
coat IT may be noticed alsu that fancy
buttons play most important part IN
these same rather severe costumes-gojd,
silver enamel rhinegtCnes. and Some-
times real jewels being used
The short skirt for dancing has ap-
parently come into favor everywhere,
There is n UGH to recommend it, and yet
the long skirt seems Indispensable TO u
handsome evening gown. 1t is said that
the rule is to be that a bail gown is
always to have the short skirt, but the
dinner gown, every whit as costly and
elaborate will have d long train, so that
it would seem as though more practi-
cal, common sense view of dress were to
be taken.
