Injury Record ExcelIed.

and the upper peninsula of Michigan has
closed, and the record of casualties
shows 26 killed. while of the 81 wound
ed, many are not expected to recover.
Last years record of the dead is re-
duced by two this year, and the list of
injured shows an increase of 46. The
number of deer killed this year is said
20 be less than in previous years because
Of lack of snow during the first part Of
the season and the bad weather and
overa bundance of snow during the last
part.
One noticeable feature is the number
Of hunters killed or injured by the acct
dental discharge Of their own guns. The
causes of the accidents are varied and in
some cases unique, as where one man
was killed by a bullet, while shingling
a barn, and another while trying to
knock apples from a tree with his gun.
