1980 - Michigan Department of Natural Resources by Death of Several Elk...and...Question Arises in Regards to the Restoration of the Onaway Courthouse From Presque Isle County Advance and Onaway Outlook February 20, 2020

  
CAPTION: A wasted elk saddened and disgusted Michigan Department of Natural
Resources wildlife biologist Tom Carlson. In the first week of February 1980,
two groups of three and four elk were found killed within 50 yards of Clear Lake
area roads.  No meat was taken from any of the seven.  Two more were found in the 
same area, one with a hind quarter removed.  A 10th elk was shot in Otsego County.
Another 12 animals were killed in 1979 from the only elk herd west of the Mississippi
River.  Rewards were being offered for information leading to the arrest and 
conviction of the wanton killers.  In other Onaway news, the question of whether
or not city voters wanted to invest funds in the restoration of the Onaway
Courthouse Building was to be answered at the presidential primary May 20, 1980.
