Man Shot
By Hunter
Near Trego
First Tragedy of Hunting
Season Takes Life of
Lawrence Cole.
MISTAKEN FOR DEER:
FIRES INTO BRUSH

A careless young hunter with a rifle,
darkness in the timber, sound in the
brush, shot at the sound, the death
of an innocent man who leaves
widow and eight fatherless children.
That IS the story, in summarized
form, OF the first tragedy of the hunting
season in Lincoln county this year.
Lawrence Cole, living near Trego,
was the victim; Clarence Dalager is
the young man who fired the fatal shot.
Cole was some Al or AZ years old.
Dalager about 22l
The accident happened last Thursday
night at about 7 o'clock, near the tie
camp Of Willard Owner, which is eight
miles southeast of Trego. Dalager
stated, after the accident, that he had
gone out hunting deer, although the
deer season is not yet open That dark
ness came upon him and suddenly he
heard noise in thicket of brush and
saw what he thought was deer,
Whereupon he fired at it. Reconstruct
ing the scene Of the tragedy later, Dali
ager admits that he stood less than so
feet from the brush and fired into it.
when it was SO dark that he could not
see the sights on his gun. Fastening
to nearby house he secured flash
light and returned to the thicket and
found Cole lying dead.
An inquest was held by Coroner
Long at Eureka on September 28, the
coroners jury being composed of E. ..
Sisson, D. w. Bierley, Fred johnson.
W. X. Huffman, Harry Thatcher and
Enos Campbell. The jury's verdict was
that Cole came to his death from an
accidental gunshot wound from rifle
IN the hands of Clarence Dalager. They
then added the additional statement
that Dalager was not guilty Of any
crime In connection herewith.
County Attorney Murray states that
coroner's jury has no power to sub
init the latter statement. The county
attorney at once filed a manslaughter
charge against Dalager His prelimi-
nary hearing was held before Justice OF
the Peace Frost in Eureka, and Dali
ager was bound over to the district
court under $1,000 bond. This he
Thomas D. Long Of Kali
spell appeared as attorney for Dalager.
Before starting on the hunt Dalager
had borrowed ammunition from Cole.

LINCOLN COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
GETS AWARD OF $4,000

Lud Ludvikson, secretary of the
Libby Commercial club, received a
telegram Friday from Senator Murray
saying that the Lincoln county high
school had been granted an award OF
$4,000 by the PWA for a new school
building at Eureka, which was burned
last spring. The Commercial club had
previously gone on record as favoring
an appropriation for that purpose and
had written Montana senators to that
effect; hence the telegram. This will
give about Sl07,000 for the new build
ing, so odd thousand dollars having
been received in insurance.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT
(Hunting and Fishing, October issue)

(Hunting and Fish
To what variety Of feeble-w itted ass
does a man with a rifle look like a
deer with horns2
The California laws distinctly and
emphatically forbid the shooting Of
does. They forbid the shooting of
spike bucks. The buck must have
forked horns or larger.
The situation has gotten SO bad in
southern California that few veteran
hunters will venture into regions with
in reach of the army Of morons who
take the field in the easily reached
sections and blaze away at one an
other.
Remember that for every man hit,
and getting into the papers, forty are
shot at and missed and never make
the news.
No man who intends to obey the
law and stop and look for legal horns.
will ever shoot another hunter by
mistake for deer" Well, | will make
an exception in those rare instances
where hunter may be carrying in a
deer, or a head. and the other hunter
sees only the head above the brush.
This has happened. But $3.50 of the
instances of hunters shooting at other
hunters lacks this excuse and every
other excuse except their own stupidity
or form of woods hysteria. Believe
it or not, there are millions of folks in
this country who have never been in
solitude. They have never been out
of the sound of human activity, the
roar of city or voices of others, or
the hum Of motor cars on the nearby
road, even if they get into the woods
or hills for a picnic.
Turn one of them loose in the calm
and stiffness Of the hills or the woods
and they get into form of hysteria.
