SHOOTS ALBINO DEER
Then Attacked By His Indian
Guide Who Regards Stay
ing of Animal As Omen of
iii Luck.

A white deer was killed last
week near Manitowish by Paul
Van Dyke, hunter from Duluth.
The animal had been seen in
that section of the country for
two years and during the hunt
ing season of 1907 MANY at
tempts were made to shoot it.
When Mr.. Van Dyke fired the
shot that killed the deer he was
accompanied by an Indian guide.
The Indian apparently became
suddenly deranged and attempt
ed to do the sportsman bodily
injury. 1t was after hard
struggle with the guide that Van
Dyke succeeded in over-powering
him and keeping him subdued
until other members of the party
arrived.
After the fellow became quiet
he explained in broken English to
the men that the Indians regard
ed the killing of a white deer as
an i'll omen and was fearful lest
some dreadful punishment would
be inflicted upon him and mem
bers of his tribe. The Indian was
released and instantly d1sap-
peared in the woods.
The deer is said to be a most
perfect specimen Of an alblno and
will be mounted.
Two years ago a white deer
was killed in Villas county near
Fosterville, and can be seen any
day in the diningroom of the
Hotel Northern at Mercer 1t is
absolutely white and perfectly
mounted, and is said to have
been killed by one buckshot. The
owner has repeatedly been
offered $500 for the mounted
specimen.
1t is also stated that a black
deer has been seen the past year
near Pressure Isle lake and hunters
are after it.

A BIT o NOTHIN'

Hunting tales, like fish stories;
often emanate from unsupported
sources and sometimes furnish a
bunch of amusement to the per
petrators far more laughable
than a snappy turnin vaudeville
Some are on the order OF freaks
and are true while some are
purely imaginary. Just try the
following:
A hot one was perpetrated
upon Geo. A. Rogers, a citizen OF
Eagle River and senior member
of the Rogers Printing Co., who
is now hunting near Donaldson
with his cousin, Will Silsbe, and
several Others. Yesterday, as
the report goes, Silsbe and a
member of the party found a part
of the carcass of a deer presume
bly, killed by wolves. The head
and horns, however, were intact
They fixed it up in the brush sc
as to inpersonate the real thing
when seen from a distance. Then
they secured Rogers and steereo
him in the proper direction ano
awaited results. Soon they
heard some-eight or nine shots
fired in rapid succession and &
few minutes later the sound o
loud and profane mutterings
were heard Rogers had emptiee
his gun at the defunct deer au6
then discovered the joke too late
There isn't a happier mortal a
present than one Alex Higgins
and it all results from the killing
of a handsome buck-onethat h
has been lying in wait of for sev
eral hunting seasons. The Judge
A. Mckenzie and Geo. O'Conno
were occupying their hunting
lodge in the hardwood dlstrlc
last week. Early in the season

Higgins made still hunt and
picked out a likely place wherein
he could sit nine hours a day and
keep an eve on a peach ola run
way which he knew would be
used by a foxy old buck some
dav before the season closed
Day after day he kept silent
watch and occasionally would
vary the monotony by counting
imaginary deer jumping over a
nearby log. Last Thursday his
vigilance was rewarded and he
soaked i'm Louie right in the
head (although he does say he
really meant to hit the buck in
the shoulder but the bullet moved
too swift. J Sometimes patience
gets its reward.
Art Radcliffe had an experience
which likens unto Baron Nun
chausen in one respect, but in the
other failed in naturalization
lnsomuch as thecomedy was. not
complete. Radcliffe was sitting
(maybe in tree, maybe on, the
ground; possibly might have
been standing waiting for a deer.
"A big buck showed up some sew
eral rods away. He shot and
down went the deer apparently
dead. Walked over to the buck
when of a sudden tjumped to its
feet. Art gave one glance at the
deer and made tracks toward
the top Of q sapling. The buck,
foiled in his scheme for revenge,
paved the earth beneath the tree
to such an extent and depth that
the sapling, soon gave way and
Art tell with it, landing squarely
on the bucks back. The deer
started away with the speed of
an express train and Radcliffe in
great danger of his life, balanced
himself in some manner and,
drawing a safety razor, which
he happened to have with him,
cut the bucks throat and it fell
dead almost at the camp door.
The proper way to tell the story
is this: The deer dropped when
Radcliffe shot and he supposed it
was dead. When within a rod
OF two of his quarry, it jumped
up and disappeared in the brush
before he could shoot. The shot
had knocked off one antler and
stunned the deer. Art has the
severed antler.

IF YOU ARE A WOMAN
Could You Kill a Deer That
Came Crashing Through
the Woods Toward You?

1t you are women. and an
angry buck suddenly appeared
bounding toward you. would
you have the nerve to aim and
fire a fatal shot?
Mrs A. L. Bretschv of Milwau-
kee had the necessary nerve to
lay at her feet a 25O-pound buck
! which came bounding toward
her. One shot did the work and
he dropped within a dozen feet OF
his slayer.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Bretschv
and c. w. Zimmerman of Mil
waukee and Thomas Brown OF
Manistee, Mich, up to Saturday
were guests of L. w. Wallace in
one of the Henllock cottages The
entire party had been hunting
the past week on the Anvil lake
road between Little and Big Bass
lakes and up to Thursday all had
secured deer except the lady
hunter. She repeatedly told the
crowd she would surprise them,
which she did. The account of
the killing as told afterwards to
a reporter by Mrs. Bretschy, tells
the tale. She said:
I Il was startled by the sudden
sight of the big beast leaping
toward me, but as soon as |
could | took aim and fired. |
had scarcely expected to fire SO
good shot, and for an instant
l thought I had missed. But
when he was not more than a
dozen feet away he fell. The bull
let had pierced his heart. Even
if | was somewhat shaky [ beat
the rest of the crowd and mil
lion dollars wouldn't buy my
deer"
Mrs. P. N. Forsyth was stand
ing on a runway when out
popped a buck. She'fred and he
dropped, jumped up and ran
away while she was trying to
get damned cartridge out of
the magazine. Almost with the
disappearance of the buck, a doe
jumped in the open and stopped
long enough for her to kill it.
N. L. Kinney is authority for
the following: MY daughter
in-law Mrs. Ellsworth Kinney
shot a buck last week in this
manner: Ellsworth had placed
her on a stump near a runway
and told her to keep her eyes
open and he would chase a deer
in her direction. Pretty soon
we heard the put-putty-te-put
of her rifle and running to the
top of the hill saw her lose her
balance on the stump and fall
headlong to theground. A buck
and doe had come in view and
she dropped the buck but missed
the doe by falling off the stump

No legal discretion is given the

for securing: expert opinion IN
cases of uncertainty says Mr..
Frear. He concludes that the
expenditure of over $25O.OOO
within the past six years is en-
tirely sufficient to warrant the
scrutiny which the department
has exercised for two years.
Bounties on seven wolves were
paid in Villas county last year,
but according to reports from

wolves from Michigan are work

LARGE WOLF BOUNTIES
Secretary of State Calls At
tention to Large Payments
Made---False Claims Com
mon.

Wisconsin is paying larger
amounts for bounties on wolves
and other wild animals than anv
other surrounding state, accord
ing to a statement in the biennial
re 'ort prepared by Secretary OF
State Frear and made public YES
terdav. During the past year
his department has carried on
an investigation of the bounties
paid, requiring that in cases of
uncertainty that the scalps be
sent to the department. for ex-
animation by Prof. George Wag-
ner OF the University of Wiscon-
sin. Acting upon this request,
nearly 800 supposed scalps were
submitted by county clerks, and
over one-half of these were deter
mined by experts to belong to
dogs, foxes and animals other
than wolves. He writes:
I'm one county clerks report
jackson connty) it appeared
389 bounties on old wolves.
amounting to So, $50, were paid
by that county III 1906. A like
amount was paid by the state
for bounties claimed from that
county during the year. In 1907
many questionable claims were
rejected bv county clerks upon
advice from this office, and only
81 bounties were paid for old
wolves by Jackson county, ac-
cording to the report. This re-
suited in a combined saving of
Sc, to the county and the
state, in claims presented by
that county alone, as disclosed
by comparison of 1906 and
1907 payments. Through infor
nation received by this office,
it IS probable that over $4,000
was thus saved to the state, and
county jointly during the year
1907. with proportionate saw
ing in 1905"
Notwithstanding some bount-
les were doubled by the legislat-
ure of 1907 a reduction occurred
in the amounts paid by the state
and counties in the year 19O70S
due largely to the efforts of the
state department. to secure ccr-
rect bounty audits. Under the
Wisconsin statute, the state pays
the same amount as the county.
Following are the amounts paid
by the state within the past six
wears:

NEW YORK, September S-The West

is of so much concern To the republican
national committee because of the posi-
BILE i'll effect upon the national ticket if
it is not settled as to unite the two
republican factions of the state, will he
taken up by Chairman Hitchcock Wednes-
day. He has not yet received the report
of the special committee which has been
investigating the case, but it will be laid
before him tomorrow.
The refusal of Judge Goff to accept the
nomination if both Swfsher and Scherr
withdrew is not taken as final by officia Is
of the national committee and they still
hope that some settlement of the contro-
versy along that line may be effected. The
purpose of such an arrangement is not to
compel the two factions to harmonic
their differences. but to bring about a sus-
pension of hoStilities until after the presi-
Dental election. 1t would mean postpone
ment of the contest between the factions.
1t is not hoped that there can be an
absolute adjustment of differences at this
time. and members of the national COM
mittee expect that the fight for suprem-
acy would be renewed before another
state convention.
