Dogs KILLING
DEER IN SAUK
madison Democrat)


Deer in Sank and Richland counties
are being killed by dogs which are al
lowed to run wild, according to the
conservation commission, which has
taken active steps to prevent further
killed Wardens yesterday caught
Ghree hounds, killing one of them. The
ether two are held to ascertain their
owners. The wardens in their hunt
yesterday found five dead deer.
Five persons In Sank county have
Seen convicted lately of shooting deer
and the cases of three others are pend
ing. These violations are due chiefly
co the fact that Sank county is one Of
che counties in which there Is no open
season for deer. An especial effort Is
being made to tame the deer in this
region because Of the Devils Lake
state park being located in Sank
county.
The commission reports that ten
Aon-residents have been convicted of
buying deer, their method being TO
buy a license and send it to hunter
IN the northern part Of the state. The
license was then attached to a deer
and the deer sent to the buyer. At
the present time Wardens Boomer
and Elliott are working on other viola

$4,000 ICE PLANTS
LOSS FROM EXPLOSION
Several Men Slightly Overcome
When Ammonia Tank Bursts,
Gripping Industry.

Seven workmen were slightly over
come by fumes, property damage was
caused to the extent of $4,000 and
the city's ice supply was seriously
jeopardized as result of an explosion
of an ammonia tank in the ice plant
of the Public Service corporation.
First and Cheyenne at l2:45 O'Clock
this morning. Bursting under two
hundred pounds Of pressure the giant
tank located on the top of the plant
was hurled several hundred feet in the
air after which it crashed thru the
roof narrowly missing the fume-
stifled workmen assembled but few
feet away.
Blowing off of the ammonia and
the subsequent crash were heard in
all parts of the city and firemen and
police rushed to the scene of the ac-
cident, giving temporary aid to the
dazed workmen. None of the injured
sustained serious effects altho a score
of employees were in the midst of
the spray
Approximately $4,000 in damage
was caused from the loss of ammonia
alone, c. f.. Purdee, chief engineer at
the plant, estimated at | o'clock this
morning. The damage will necessi-
tate a complete shutdown of ice max
ing facilities at the plant for at least
week or ten days, he declared.
