The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1919-09-19

| Peter Stefrud, on the Nils Teigum

Mr.. Gerhard Jensen, who has been

survey at New Lisbon and Mauston
during the summer, returned to his

The hunting season opened last
Tuesday morning. The Nimrods of
Edgerton and of other parts of the
state, including the Governor, were at
Lake Koshkonong and at other haunts
of the migrating duck to invite her for
breakfast. Promptly at a. m. deadly
fire began; some of the soldier boys
| said it reminded them of the barrage
of the Western Front, more deadly,
however, to the duck than to the hunt
ers. Some of the hunters had at an
early stage of the game to bring up
more ammunition. The birds were
there waiting for them, and thee braces
now cooling in the hunters private
larders attest to the success OF the
first day of shooting.
