Show SHOT WHILE HUNTING. The accidental killing: of William Wayne of Riverdale by Ray Nelson, his young brother-in-law, is one more reminder that these hunting expedition for large game are accompanied by risks which have brought sorrow to many homes. The young men were hunting deer near Peterson, working their way through the thick growth of bru3h in a canyon, when young' Nelson, catching sight of what he thought to be a moving deer, fired. That shot brought death to his home. In Wisconsin there were 33 men killed and 36 wounded during the deer season last year and to guard against a repetition of such dreadful fatalities, the state game warden has this year issued an order or-der that hunters in the mountains must wear a redcap as a di3- j tinguishing color. f Every year, in every state where there is wild game of large size these distressing accidents occur and it is high time that some pre- j scribed precaution be taken to make the accidental killing less fre- quent, if not impossible.
