DEAD IN HIS SKIFF
Winnebago County Hunter Is Thus Discovered - It is Evidently a Case of Accident
Winneconne, Wis, May 29 -- Leo Fuhs, aged twenty-three years, unmarried and the son of Mr. and Mrs. August A. Fuhs of the town of Oshkosh, was found dead in a small hunting skiff yesterday on Daggett's creek, about 600 feet from its mouth. He had been shot through the heart and had been dead some hours, judging from the appearance of the body and the statement of phycisians.

Mr. Clark had seen Mr. Fuhs at Butte des Morts about 4:30 o'clock Monday afternoon and so far as known was the last person to see him alive. Mr. Fuhs, it was learned, left his home Monday forenoon with his target rifle, planning to hunt for crows. In the afternoon he was at Butte des Morts and from there it presumed went to his skiff, where his body was found yesterday. When Mr. Clark learned that Mr. Fuhs had not been at home Monday night and that his parents felt anxiety because of this circumstance, he started out to search for the young man, his quest resulting in the finding of the boat and the young man's body.
