The report of fatalities in the
plneries of northern Wisconsin, and
upper Michigan during the open
game season of 1907, which closes
today, is far greater than during
any season for many years past.
Thirty one nimrods have lost their
lives since the open season began,
while thirty-seven and possibly
more have been MANNED and
wounded. That this record will be
swelled by the time this weeks re-
cord is fully known is probable, for
the woods are filed with hunters
and there have no doubt been many
fatanties far from the settlements
that have not yet been made public.
