TIRED OF NARROW ESCAPES. 
A pIspAtcH from Chippewa Falls, Wis., says 
that Wenzel Mikesh, a farmer living near that 
town, has asked the authorities to protect him. 
He says he is tired of being grazed by the bullets 
of the deer hunters, and that he is not safe on 
his own door step. 
In the same region, to protect themselves from 
other hunters and to prevent accident, men are 
adopting a bright red hunting coat while after 
deer: So far this season not a single accident 
has been reported among the Black Hills hun- 
ters, and in a measure it is attributed to the 
brilliancy of their garb, which has attracted con- 
siderable attention everywhere. 
Deer hunters returning from the Minnesota 
woods report good success. Nine were brought 
in recently, and another party consisting of seven 
hunters report that they have secured sixteen 
deer and moose. 
After escaping the hunters for the last twenty- 
three years, the best specimen of a buck ever 
seen in the Black Hills has fallen prey to the 
gun of Steven Trathen, of Deadwood, S. D. 
The animal had antlers of»twenty-two points, 
the largest number ever secured in that region 
before, it is said, prior to this being fifteen. As 
the buck gets one point for every year after the 
first, its age is readily told. It is probable that 
the mounted head will be presented to the State. 
WOULDN’T LOAN HIS DOGS. 
“BUFFALO BiILL” Copy, while a guest of the 
Denver Press Club recently, told this joke on 
the President, says a correspondent of the Times: 
When Mr. Roosevelt was in Colorado hunt- 
ing the last time the expedition needed bear 
dogs. 
“Mr. President,” said Chief Guide Goff, “I 
know a man who has good bear dogs. I'll see 
if I can get them.” 
“All right,” said the President, “do it.” 
The man curtly refused the guide’s request. 
“T will see him myself,’ said the President, 
and he did. 
“Nothing doing,” said the owner of the dogs. 
“Do you know who I am?” said the President. 
“T am President of the United States.” 
“Well,” replied the owner, “I wouldn’t care 
a hang if you were Booker T. Washington, you 
couldn’t have my dogs.” 
And the President went back and told the story 
with glee.
