HUNTING SEASON
CLOSES NOV. IS
NOT MANY DEER KILLED IN
THIS LOCALITY BY THE
LOCAL HUNTERS
Days of Real Sport Are Apparently
Over in Stevens County, Except
For the Fishermen

sive this year, according to the tales
of the hunters and if there is any
truth to their tales, those who did
not get deer, at least had O glimpse
of one, but the deer will be left in
peace after Monday the 18th. In the
meantime many are taking advantage
of the few days remaining by going
out prepared to stay until the season
closes. One footsore hunter who had
-tramped and tramped and tramped
without anything but a glimpse, is
willing to agree with the Indians who
say, white man, he walk too much,
he no get deer; Indian, he sit still
and wait, he get deer"
The following are few of the
hunting parties of the past few days:
Chas. Gee, Fred Dodson and Arch

trip last Saturday. They killed three
black tail deer in the vicinity of Dam

208 pounds, dressed.
One party of hunters having been
out six times to get deer, without
success, became desperate and took
two dogs with them on their seventh
trip. The dogs strayed from the
party and one did not return. They
believed that someone had shot it as
they had heard shot down the val
ley. The next day they tried it
again with one dog. Seeing what
they thought was coyote, they fired
and discovered that they had killed
their missing dog.
