Will PETITION OSBORN
TO CORRECT GAME LAWS
ESCANABA SPORTSMAN TAKES
FIRST DEFINITE STEP.
Will Circulate Document Throughout
Upper Peninsula.

In an effort to bring about changes
in Michigan's present ridiculous game
laws before the next hunting season,
r.. c. Voght of Escanaba, one of the
leading sportsmen of the peninsula, is
framing a petition TO be presented to
Gov. Osborn asking that the many dis
putting. unfair and ridiculous provi-
sions of the present laws be changed
at the special session of the legisla-
ture this winter. If such n session is
called. Copies OF the petition will be
sent to all Of the counties of the pen
insula for signatures of interested
sportsmen.
The present set Of game laws en-
acted by the last legislature are now
admitted To be wholly inadequate and
to be unfair i'm their provisions to the
hunters of the upper peninsula. The
attorney general Of the state has found
that there are a number of contradict
tions in the present laws and the OBJ
jects sought after cannot be realized
under the present statutes.
Particularly i'm all parts of the up
per peninsula have there been bitter
criticisms leveled at the present set
of laws and IL Gov. Osborn decides to
call a special session of the legisla-
ture, which, however, seems improb-
able, he will have before him the pc
titions of hundreds of upper penin-
sula sportsmen who desire that the
present ridiculous laws be made rea-
sonable and logical

OF INTEREST TO HUNTERS.
If Rifle is Carried Hunter Must Have
Deer License.


According to a recent opinion on the
game laws no hunter may carry a rifle
in the woods during the deer season
without also having in his possession
deer license regularly issued. Any
person found with a rifle and no license
is subject to arrest for the law has
in mind that the hunters intent is to
kill deer.
The same rule applies TO hunters
who carry shot guns loaded with cart
ridges containing buck shot. A shot
gun or rifle loaded with the finer bird
shot and not balls, may be carried
without a deer license or without mo-
lestation from the game wardens
Hunters after birds which may be
killed at this time of the year may also
have n bird dog i'm the woods with
them if they carry a shotgun and
small shot cartridges, even if they have
no deer license. In ease a rifle is car
ried or guns loaded with buckshot. and
a dog is with the hunter. he is sub
iect To arrest no matter IL he has a
deer license in his possession. The law
regards the presence OF a dog with Il
hunter so equipped, as an intent to
hunt deer with the dog.

MCCOY DEMONSTRATES REoUIS-

TEMPT TO FLY PROVES
A LURE.

Aviator McGoey's aeroplane flight at
the Laurium driving park yesterday
afternoon was marred by an unforeseen
accident. After leaving the park the
engine failed To respond properly and
the birdman was unable to rise more
than "A few feet, although he made
repeated efforts to do so. He finally
came to grief about a quarter of a
mile away. The landing was made in
a rough country and although Nc
Goey was unhurt, his machine was
badly damaged. The running gear and
n portion Of the planes were smashed,
Because Of the condition of the ma
chine it was impossible to attempt an
other flight.
Naturally the immense crowd, the
majority being outside the fence, was
much disappointed. Despite the fact
that Mccoy had made an earnest eff
fort to fly there was much unfavorable
comment, engendered, no doubt. by
disappointment. The more fair minded.
however, did not blame the aviator, APP
preciating the fact that his failure was
due entirely to engine trouble.
The hour was growing late, and the
crowd impatient, when the machine
was taken out OF it's tent and wheeled
to the south end OF the field. The en-
gine was started and it worked speed
idly, Mccoy stating he had all kinds
OF power and anticipated n splendid
flight. When the engine was properly
tuned, the birdman took his seat and
gave the signal. The biplane scooted
along the ground at a lively pace and
