Michigan hunting deaths and political lines in state report
The week records Gen Israel C. Smith of Grand Rapids killed by self-inflicted gun discharge during hunting. The piece notes the season’s toll and shifts to political talk on free silver anti expansion and Bryan as standard bearer, with a long attached discussion on deer hunting laws and a proposed amendment restricting deer kills to two per hunter and banning venison sales.
