HUNT SEASON CLOSES.
END OF TWENTY DAYS SLAUGH-
TER OF DEER.
Twenty-six Hunters Have Been
Killed and 81 Wounded-Last
Years Death Record Reduced and
Injury Record ExceIIed.

The fall hunting season in Wisconsin
ana the upper peninsula of Michigan has
closed, and the record of casualties
SHOWS 70 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
TO be less than in previous years because
of lack of snow during the first part of
the season and the bad weather and
overabundance 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
barn, and another while trying to
knock apples from a tree with his gun.
