LAWS CONCERNING DEER ARE COOP
D. d. Williams Of Ontario Don't Want
Legislature 10 Monkey With Them

EDITOR CENSoR-I wish to call your
attention to the game laws concerning
deer, | see in the papers that the re-
sidents of some of the counties, where
in deer are allowed to be killed. are
asking their officials to amend the game
laws, changing the open season for
deer from 20 to 80 days and to exclude
all hunting for period of two weeks
or more before open season. They
claim that hunters scome in and kill
deer before the season opens. They
want TO contine the killing to one deer
instead of two. Now | have hunted
deer two falls, and | was on the grounds
from to 5 days before open season.
took notice of what was going on,
and have this to say; The violators of
the law, as a rule. are men who live in
Northern Wisconsin. They violate the
law IN many ways; they practice hunt
ing with hounds all summer and up to
the End or Bird day of open season; they
not only kill what deer they can use,
but they only skin out the hind quarters
and have the balance in the woods.
Just before open season they kill all
the deer they can, hang them up in the
woods, and make it a practice of sell
ling them TO hunters who do not sue
ceed in getting game. They use the
coupons for their winters meat by
bringing from hiding only parts of a
deer at time when the supply gets
low
There are men there who kin 30 deer
in one year, most of them out of sea-
son. This is very common thing for
foremen of camps Now who is the
violator the man who buys a license,
goes to the necessary expense, (which
is about $25l of a trip, or is it the ones
who are seeking to cut us down to one
deer? The game laws are good enough
as they are. The trouble is they are
not inforced. 1t is generally practice
to send most of the game wardens of
the state to the deer counties just be-
fore open season to see that none hunt
without license; to see that no one :.
in tree, on stump or hunts by moon
light or after sun down. The game
Vardens are needed there now and they
ought to be there till open season.
The open season for fur bearing ami
mails ought to be 365 days of each year
in the farming sections, for they are
nuisance to the farmer, especially so with
poultry raising. In conclusion concern
ing the deer the facts are the deer,
having been chased by dogs, are so
wild that hunters have to run more
than twice the risk of being killed
themselves in order to get a shot at
the aeer. The thing to do is to put a
stop to chasing with dogs out of season,
then the hunters would not need to be
tempted to violate the law in order to
obtain deer, and we don't want to be
cut down to one deer either

ROUND AND ABOUT US

A pioneer of the fifties, Mr.. George
III. Munroe at the age Of seventy -one
years, responded to the long call at the
home of nephew in Walworth county
on Christmas day. With his wife Mr.
Munroe came from his native state IF
Connecticut to Red Mound neighbor-
hood, where their presence as cultured
and influential citizens was manifest
until the death of Mrs. Munroe some
years ago, since which time the hus-
band spent his leisure in travel from
the extreme east to the Pacific. He
was paying a visit to his nephew at
Burlington when illness overlook him.
Few of the early settlers of the west
ern section Of our county are left
Men of the high character of George
H. Munroe leave the impress of their
good lives on the community.
In the state of Iowa, where she had
lived for some years, the wife of G. S.
Hayden, former well-known resident
of Wheatland town, died on December
26, aged n years. Numerous relatives
survive her at the old hon and else
where. @Se
Postmaster o. H. johnson is very i'll
at his De Soto home. His ailment is
of such character that his friends and
family are anxious about his condition

Have you thought of it? For the
past sixteen years, excepting one oc-
cupant, all Vernon county treasurers

let us hope that Henry Rentz will see
the error of his ways and hook up. "
There are to many worthy young wo-
men in Vernon county to permit Of our
prominent officials wasting their lives
unattended.

AMONG THE ERArzRNAL BRETHREN

Senator Robert M. La Toilette is now
a journalist as wen as a statesman,
having on the 7th instance, launched a
weekly paper, the title of which is La
Follette's Weekly Magazine, published
at Madison, sixteen page sheet.
filled with the character of matter
that might be expected from one of his
strenuous profession, ability as lawyer,
writer and experience in public affairs.
Mrs La Toilette is associated with her
husband in the work, and in addition
corps of high salaried writers and vol
untary contributors is announced.
geographically, the initial number of
the magazine must be disappointment
to Mr.. La Toilette, as it is to the aver
age newspaper man; but that will
doubtless be regulated with succeeding
issues. The new venture will find
place among the readable periodicals of
the day and be successful unless it shall
become too top-heavy with the effusions
of theoretical dreamers and professional
muckrakers who have no appreciable
conception of common affairs that en-
gage and interest the average citizen.
The Muscoda Democrat announces
that it may not longer be continued.
The publisher is waiting patiently for
the community to express itself through
a decision for sufficient patronage to
make the paper financial success.
Editor Copper and wife of De Soto.
are happy over the advent of a little
daughter in their home. Wonder if
that had to do with the suspension of
the Argus last week to give ''the old
man a rest?" Congratulations, brother.

BURGLAR WAS BUSY
 IN SMELTtR CITY

DOUGLAS. Arizona, April 20.- A burglary was committed early
 A burglary was committed early this morning at the meat market. of the W. J. Wamel store, where SIX dollars was stolen, and an attempt was made at the Brookhill bar, but there being no cash in sight or easI ly available, the burglar did not dis profited him nothing.
 At the Van Alen place, the burg ar first deftly used a glass cutter on the front door by which he removed enough of the glass to reach his hand through and unlock the door. Then he walked in and looked around. The cash register had been left open and empty and there remained nothing for him but the stock and the safe. It is evident that he was after money and that he did not care to tackle so big a job as cracking a safe, for he left the bar without any thing that any one has been able to miss.
 Entrance to the market of the Wamel store was easily forced ar the front door. The casn register con tained six dollars and this the burg. lar appropriated. Officers this morn ing found two steel implements at the Van Alen store which the burg lar had employed or had with him foI that purpose.
 No arrests have been made.
