Five Killed During Deer Season.
Fifteen-Year Recora for State.

Five Wisconsin hunters were knIed
in the north woods this year while
seeking deer. In 1914 there we're "a
fatalities. IN 1914 there we're 20 per.
sons injured in Wisconsin hunting
deer This year not one was reported
injured.
In all the years never have there
been so few deaths as during the sea
son now drawing to a close
According to all reports, the number
of hunters in the woods, this year has
been quite as large as in former years
Sportsmen who at first were violently
opposed to the much discussed "one
buck" law, given its first trial in Wis
consin this year, are forced to admit il
has probably been the greatest factor
in cutting down the terrible loss of
life and limb which has been a part of
every hunting season in the memory
OF the present generation.
That Wisconsin's new law may be
responsible for the decrease in the
number of accidents is partly borne
out by the list of Michigan fatalities
In the upper peninsula there were
more fatalities this year than in 1914
with approximately the same number
of hunters in the field
1t is maintained by those in the
woods this year in search of deer. that
in Wisconsin it is necessary to obtain
a clear view of the animal before
shooting. This is because of the heavy
penalty for killing or attempting to
kill any but buck deer In former
years it was customary for hunters to
blaze away" as soon as they saw any
thing moving in the brush.

There IS no confirmation here of the reported Austrian successes however and the Russian authorities claim that matters are gong well with them Should the TeutOns be success f in their further movements in the Carpathians it is conceded that the position of the Russians in Bukowlna might become so dangerous that retirement may be found necessary but at present there seems to be no
