Summary
The Maurice Teter hunting party of Livonia, Michigan, took one buck during the 1964 season but returned from St. James to find its tents and all equipment burned. Bud McDonough offered the hunters use of his harbor house. The paper also says wind tore wires loose from the house during the night, nearly causing another fire.
