DEER SEASON
CLOSED MONDAY
Number Killed This Year About
Same as Last Year.

The deer hunting season for 1908 in
this county as provided by our state
laws closed at midnight or Il .. M.
Monday. Anyone who attempts to kill
these animals after Nov 30, will do SO
in violation of the state law and the
person caught doing so will be subject
to arrest and conviction.
Grand Rapids nimrods bagged
about as many deer this year as other
years. Almost every returning body
of hunters succeeded in getting at
least one deer apiece, while number
were fortunate enough to get their
full legal allotment. A number of
casualties occurred in the county this
year. One, Geo. Dawes, of Pittsville,
was killed and four or five others were
seriously injured. 1t is said that ow-
ing to the conspicuous dress worn by
many hunters this year. man was
more easily distinguished, and careless
hunters found less excuse for shooting
without ascertaining what they were
shooting at. Most hunters were attired
in bright red coats and caps. a color
that is the least apt TO be mistaken
for an animal than any other.

THRILLING TALE
OF THE CHASE
Nervy Nimrod SIashes Deer's
Throat With a Razor After
Swift Ride on Bucks Back

The experiences of hunters, both
past and present, whether in pursuit
Of wolves. pears, mountain lion, or the
nimble footed deer, haYe been varied
but always of interest. Every re-
turning body of sportsman have their
budget of tales to tell: many literally
true, no doubt. but many grave fabri-
cations
Through an exchange we have
learned of the experience Of hnnter
during the recent deer hunting season
in our northern woods, that is almost
unbelievable, and yet is reported to be
literally true. We publish it here
with for the benefit of our readers.
A party of Superior deer hunters
returned Saturday and relate the eX-
citing experience of one of the men,
bers of the party, Henry Linker. The
party was just starting away from the
camp on the homeward journey.
Mr.. Linker stopped and was leaning
against stump eating portion of
his luncheon when an infuriated buck
came tearing out of the rnderbruSh
in the direction of the atOniShed hun
ter. Mr.. Linker gave one look at the
running animal and made tracks
toward the top of small tree. The
buck, foiled in his scheme Of revenge,
paved the earth beneath the tree,
paving to such an extent that the
sapling soon gave way and the hudter
fell with it, landing squarely on the
back of the buck.
The deer started away with the
speed of an express train and Mr..
Linker in danger of falling aud losing
bis life. Balancing himself in some
manner and drawing razor which he
had with him. he cut the buck S
throat. The deer made a few expir-
ing leaps and fell to the ground dead.
The remains were eaten by the party
before returning to the city.

MANY PEOPLE
WATCH DIVER
While He Works on the Broken
Water Main Which Crosses
the River South of the Wagon
Bridge.

The submarine diver who was at work
repairing the broken water main that
crosses the river just south of the
wagon bridge attracted an unusual
lot Of attention these days. At al.
most any hour of the day crowds of
men and women may be seen stand
ing on the west end of the bridge
watching the diver at bis work.
Attired in his submarine diving outfit.
and floundering about in the murky
waters of the old Wisconse, he very
much resembling a huge mud-Jurtle.
The depth to which diver can
descend is limited by his power for
withstandiDg the pressure
According to an article which
recently appeared in one of the leading
magazines, descent Of thirty faith
OmS. or $50 feet marks the limit of
safety, for even a few divers who
possess the necessary physical fitness
in combination with a disregard for
danger beyond the average.
An expert who has superintended
a large number of diving operations
has found that very few men, what
ever their build, are capable of COM
batting the severe strain which is
brought to bear upon their physical
energies for few minutes at depth
of twenty or thirty fathomS Many
of bis divers dared not venture below
ten fathomS. OF 253 divers employed
at greater depths thirty were serious
ly injured, and the result was fatal in
ten instances.
