RUMOR OWEN WILL RESIGN
Recently Reelected Attorney General
to Practice Law at Madison
Is Report.

Madison Much surprise was occa-
stoned in capital city circles by the
announcement that Attorney General
Walter C. Owen, reelected to office
Nov. 7, probably would resign on Jan.
1 to engage in the practice of law. 1t
is stated that he will fill a vacancy in
the firm of Richmond, Jackman &
Swanson, the latter having recently
retired to become assistant counsel OF
the North Western road in Milwaukee.
Friends of Mr. Owen are urging the
appointment of Walter Drew, present
deputy attorney general, but as Gov.
Philip is absent on a hunting trip, it
is not known what action he will take
in the matter of filling the vacancy
1t is understood that Mr.. Owen will
tender his resignation to Gov. Philip
personally and recommend Mr.. Drew
as his successor.
This announcement has caused an
upheaval of no small dimension in
state circles here. 1t will be possible
for him to continue as attorney gen.
eral and to be in private practice at
the same time. There is nothing in
the constitution that prohibits such
action and other holders of The Office
have done so.
Since he has been in Office Mr..
Owen has devoted all his time to the
official duties.

Amigo Teachers Will Try to Crowd
Eight Years Work lnto-O One In
Marvin Worden Case.

Amigo Teachers here are working
overtime trying to cram eight years
work into one to teach Marvin Wor-
den, IL years old, who for eight years
has not spoken a word, to talk by
Christmas time. They believe that by
that time Marvin, who is deaf, will be
able 20 control all of the vocal sounds.
Now he speaks barely above a whis-
per, but the effort for him to talk is
becoming less daily A few months
ago his case was brought to the atten-
ton of the Community Welfare asso-
citation. Through the kindness of
friends, he was taken to the Mayo
brothers hospital at Rochester, Mimi,
where he was thoroughly examined.
The examination disclosed. the fact
that all of the boys vocal organs were
normal. 1t was believed by the ply
sicians that they were paralyzed sew
eral years ago and that he became so
used to not talking that he made no
effort to talk when the paralysis dis
appeared.

DEER HUNTERS DECREASE
Wisconsin's "One Buck" Law Has
Showing Effect on Number of lii
censes Issued This Year.

Ashland = Wisconsin's "One Buck"
law appears to have startling effect
in reducing the number of hunters. In
Ashland county, which is the center of
the deer country, only 1,400 licenses
have been issued this fall, as COM
pared with practically twice that num-
Der in 1915. The prospect of securing
only one deer appears to have wrought
the change. The percentage of deer
killed and brought to the cities, is ac-
suaIly' less than so per cent as COM
pared with former years, for whereas
in former years, hunters were quite
certain to secure either buck or doe,
now they cannot legally shoot at any
deer they see, but only at bucks.
In addition to Ashland county's L.
400 deer hunters, hunters from all
parts of Wisconsin are in the woods.
Hunters say that there has been
such scarcity of partridges this year,
that closed season will be urged for
1917.
