ciaL 1.-The care which is taken by deer
hunters in the vicinity of Three lakes to
rid the woods of young nimrods who
shoot at anything they see stir in the
neighborhood Of a runway is told by Il.
@. Sykes, who has just returned from
a ten days hunt there. He said a
young man from Elkhart lake left the
train with an apparent idea that he
could ind deer III all directions. No SOON
er was ne on the depot platform than he
loaded his rifle and in Il crOuching posi-
ton followed the fence along the track
looking for game. An old time hunter
watched him and knowing the green
shot would let drive at any moving OBJ
ject, fired a shot so that it struck n
tree five feet from the Elkhart lake man.
who left for home on the next train.
Henry Jurs Of this city, an old time
hunter and veteran of he Spanish war,
watched another young hunter handling
his rife in such a manner on the run
way that he suspected he would fire at
anything Jurs sat down on log beside
him and when the green hunter heard
two men coming through the woods he
raised his rifle to fire. Jurs grabbed it,
took the rife and hunting knife from the
man and ordered him to take the next
train home. He complied with the order
and ms rife was expressed to him the
next day.
Deer Killed in City.
DE TOUR, Mich, Nov. 22.-TSpe-
cial. deer apparently are SO plentiful
in the vicinity of Sault Ste Marie that
they are shooting them within the limits
Of the city. A number have been bagged
at the Swallows" already this season
three of them during the course of one
afternoon. Many others have been seen
in the neighborhood 1t is believed that
these deer come from Canada. The fact
that the game is being hunted with dogs
across the border is thought to have
caused many of the animals to take to
the water near Point aux Pins and swim
to the American side. Two big bucks
were seen to land near the Mosquito bay
light the other day, having swan the
animals escaped to the woods in safety.
