Why Rabbits Are Scarce.

1t is generally known that rab-
bits are scarce in these northern
woods this winter. Hunters who
have visited localities where in
other years they had no trouble in
getting big bags this year come
home empty handed Various rea-
sons have been advanced for this
scarcity of rabbits and the follow
ing from Deputy Game Warden
Childs may be of interest:
In regard to the scarcity of rab-
bits in this locality this season and
in answer to many inquiries relat-
ing to the same l wish to state that
one of the strangest freaks of nature
of which we know as effecting the
wholesale destruction of any game
by disease is the rabbit plague.
In a book by VIM. T. Hornaday,
Sc. D., called Our Vanishing
Wild Life, an interesting article
may be found in chapter nine page
eighty-fve, explaining clearly the
disease.
Invariably the year of our great
est number of rabbits is followed
by year of the rabbit plague,
which sweeps them away, leaving
few rabbits in the land. They are
wiped out in a single season by
epidemic usually noticed by swell
ings of the throat, sores under the
armpits and groins, and by di-
arrhea.
There is also a bloodsucking
parasite known as Strougylus
Strigosus. which produces death
by anemia and emanciation, which
was found by Dr. w. r. Blair,
Park veterinary surgeon of the
New YorS Geological Park, upon
examination OF several specimens

PARALYTIC STROKE FATAL.
James Nicholson Succumbed Early
Monday Morning to Ar Attack of
Paralysis. ~

Last week Wednesday afternoon
James Nicholson, one of Hurley s
pioneer residents, suffered stroke
of paralysis and early Monday morn
ing of this week he departed from
this life. Previous to the attack
he was in apparent good health and
the news of his illness and sudden
death came as a great surprise TO
his friends. He attended church
the morning of the day he was
stricken and after the church ser
vices busted himself with a number
of duties about the house. The
sudden attack came about two
0 clock Wednesday afternoon and
the paralytic stroke was of such
severity that it renderedhim speech
less, in which condition he remain
ed until death.
James Nicholson was born in
Westport, County Mayo, Ireland,
March rs, 1841. He came to
America in 1848 and settled at
Syracuse, N Y. He was united in
marriage in 1864 to Miss S. Kelly,
of Buffalo N. Y, afterwards NOV
ing to Fond du Lac, Wis, where
he engaged in the grocery and COM
mission business. In the early
eighties they moved to Norway,
Mich, where Mr.. Nicholson en-
gagged in the drug business and be-
came widely identified with min
ing and real estate interests during
the boom days of that section. In
1886 the family took up their re-
sidence in Hurley and this has been
their home since. Mr.. Nicholson

that section apply to the users of
