Record Of Hunting Victims in Wiscon

Record Of Hunting Victims in Wiscon-
sin and Michigan.
Milwaukee, Nov. { The Evening
Wisconsin says:
The record of fatalities in the piner~
les of Northern Wisconsin and Upper
Michigan during the open game and
deer season of 1907, which closes Sat-
urday night, is far greater than dur
ing any season for many years past.
A total of thirty-nine nimrods have
lost their lives through their own
carelessness Or at the hands of hunt
ing companions since the hunting sea-
son began, while thirty-seven and pos
sibly more have been MANNED and
wounded. That this record will be
swelled before the close of the week
is probable, as the woods are filed
with hunters at the present time and
there has been without doubt many
fatalities in the heart of the pine
woods, far from the settlements, that
have not been reported as yet.
