DEER KILL WILL BE UNDER 3,000 Fullerton Believes That Fair Estimate of Nimrods’ Work This Year. “T estimate there will be 3,000 deer killed in Minnesota during the open season this year as against 8,000 last year during the 20 days.” S. F. Fullerton of St. Paul, executive agent of the state game and fish commission, said this yesterday, adding that under the system of tags and coupons required by law he and his force of deputies can take fair census of the deer and moose that are legally killed. “Only 15 moose have been de- livered in the Twin Cities as compared with 200 last year,” he continued. “The number of deer arriving in St. Paul is about 25 a day, and about the same number in Minneapolis at the present time, and I guess that will be about the average for the season for those towns. “Conditions for hunting have not been favorable, and it has all been to the advantage of the deer and moose,”’ Mr. Fullerton says that there are many residents of Minnesota who would Jike to see deer and moose protected the year round. They believe these animals are too noble and beautiful to kill. Degree of Honor Initiated.

TIM QUINN APPOINTED ASSIST- ANT JANITOR. Watchman, Fireman, Engineer, Carpenter, ete. at City Hall By Vote of 5 to 4. The wheels of the machine went ‘round last night at the regular meeting of the city council, but a lack of lubrication, a bit of rust overooked, some foreign substance in the gearing —something which is up to the chief engineers for investigation caused the machine to go wrong at the critical moment and Brother D. C. Smyth of odiferous schcol board fame was not elected assistant janitor of the city hall and assistant engineer of the fire department at a salary of $30 or $60 per month, It was one of those accidents which will happen to the best regulated machines, The fire committee recom- jmended a reorganization of the ifire department including the appointment of an assistant Jjanitor of the city hall for night duty. Reorganization was laid over but the appointment of the assistant was talcen up with the result that Tim Quinn got five votes and D. C. Smith four votes, The committee on salaries will fix the compensation. many people thas the city needs an assistant janitor about as much as a hen needs artificial teeth.
