The past week has seen "A big addi-

Hunting Notes.

Dr. Walter Darling aud ike Os

Sam Jacobs is the happiest man in

Otto Brown is about the luckiest
deer hunter In the city. He went To
Stager last Wednesday morning oa the
morning passenger; killed two big
deer and returned with them on the
evening train.
Dr. Walter Darling Is the most.en-
thusiastic hunter that has been ON the

he gets after deer he literally weighs
him down with lead.

HUNTERS RETURNED
First Week Of the Open Season For Deer
Was Disappointment


Last Saturday saw the return of the
advance guard of the hunters who
went out from this city to chase the
deer and in almost every case the a.
mount of game bagged was a great
disappointment The day was fierce
one for travel IL showed during the
latter part of the night and about eight
o clock the snow turned to rain that
fell in torrents all that day and night
and continued most of Sunday fore
noon. Many Of the hunters travelled
twenty TO thirty miles through that
rain and were nearly used mp when
they got here.
The first week OF the season was so
warm that the hunters were unable to
get much venison. The woods were In
a noisy condition making il impossible
TO get near deer unless one happened
onto one 10y accident.
The kill didn't average one deer per
hunter during the first week, condi-
tion that II away below any previous
year.
The second contingent moved ont
Saturday and Sunday to occupy the
camps vacated by the first lot and rs
weather conditions are better this
week, il is probable that the number
Of deer killed will be larger.

TREASURE WRECKS BENEATH WATERS OF n1AxD SEAS

seas. Many Of these vessels with rich
cargoes disappeared suddenly and mys-
teriously, as If smuggled away by an
unseen power. Most of these cargoes
remain to this day for lucky fortune
hunters. In the wrecking of $4,000
ships thousands of lives were snuffed
out and unwritten acts of heroism
played. Many fortunes have been re-
covered from the bottom of the lakes.
Not many years ago a treasure ship
came down from the North, the Will
liam H. Stevens, loaded with s101, $50
worth of copper. She went down off
Conneaut, o. Unavailing efforts to re-
cover her treasure were made until
Capt. Harris w. Baker, Detroit, fitted
out modern treasure-hunting expedl-
tion. He recovered 100000 of the
cargo, his share of the treasure being
$4,000 On the south shore of Lake
Erie, between Erie and Dunkirk, the
steamer Dean Richmond lies with $780,
600 in zinc on board. The Richmond
disappeared between these two ports
and the bodies of the crew were
washed ashore. Lake Huron is called
the Lake of the Sunken Treasure.
Near Saginaw bay are more lost ships
with valuable cargoes than in any 9TH
er OK the great lakes. The steamer
City of Detroit, with a $4,000 copper
cargo; r. G. Coburn, 100000 copper
cargo, and the steamer Fay, with s2O,-
900 in steel billets on board, lie in the
bay. The steamer Kent was sunk of
Point Pelee with much money in her
hulk. Eight men lost their lives on
the Kent.
Whisky and coal form an important

part of the treasure which awaits re-
covery in the inland seas. In 1916 the
Lexington, Capt. Peer, cleared from.
Cleveland for Port Huron with car
go of 110 barrels of whisky. The ship
foundered In midlake with all on
board. To-day the whisky is worth
Sis per barrel. The Anthony Wayne
sank in Lake Erie with 900 barrels OF
whisky and wine on board. The West
moreland sank with similar cargo.
1t is said that coal worth $5,Oo0,000>
awaits recovery.
. A terrible event on the inland seas
was the loss of the steamer Atlantic
off Long Point, Lake Erie, with 300
lives. Not until quarter of CEN
fury had passed was trace of the ship
found. Treasure worth 100000 was
taken from her. The Griffin, built by
La Sale at the foot of Lake Erie in
January. 1879, sailed across Lake Erie,
up the Detroit river and entered Lake.
Michigan. She started on the return
trip in the fall of 1880 with $1,000
in furs on board. She was never
heard Of.
Treasure hunters are now seeking
the $4,000 copper cargo that went
down with the steamer Pewabic in a
collision with the Meteor in August,
1865. The Pewabic went down in Lake
Huron, off Thunder Bay island Five
men have lost their lives in attempts
to recover her cargo. The new attempt
is being made by New York syndi-
cate, which has perfected diving rig
that they declare will Withstand the

The weight of medical opinion has
been steadily against DR.. Koch, the
great German physician. in his con-
tention that tuberculosis In cattle is
a different disease from tuberculosis
in human beings, and cannot be trans
mitted from one to the other. Unex-
pected light has been thrown upon
the matter by sad occurrence which
happened at the government expert
ment station at Bethesda, Md. Sew
eral children of employees of the sta
tion died under circumstances which
made an autopsy desirable. 1t was
found that death had been caused by
tuberculosis Of the glands of the neck
and the intestines. Further investi-
cation disclosed the fact that the milk
on which they had been fed came
from certain cows supposed to be
healthy, but found on examination to
be afflicted exactly as the children
were, with tuberculosis of the neck
and intestines. The fact, although not
conclusive, Is against the opinion of
DR.. Koch.
