Desperate Fight with a Deer.

Yesterday afternoon three young wO-
men, residing near the big brink pool, in
ShOhola township, Pa, started to 90 ber-
rving. They were obliged to cross the
pond to reach the woods. Before entering
the boat they saw something in the dis
lance swimming in the water. Thinking
it was dog they paid no further atten-
ton to it, but started on their way across
the pond which is about two miles wide.
After rowing for several hundred yards
the girl who was plotting the boat saw
that what they first thought to be dog
swimming in the water was buck, which
was coming directly toward them. Hay-
ing clumsy pair Of oars it was some
time before the boat could be turned, and
then the deer had reached to within Il few
yards of them. The girls became greatly
terrified, for the deer was fast gaining on
them, and from the way it snorted and
plunged they were satisfied it meant mis-
chief While the one rOwed, with all
their might the other two padded, thus
somewhat increasing their speed; but the
deer was slowly gaining on them, and,
knowing they could not reach the shore
before being overtakcn. they ceased row.
sing to prepare for the inevitable battle.
When the deer, snorting and pIunging,
had reached to within few feet of the
boat, it stopped for moment. Then it
made a sudden plunge, and as its head
struck the side of the boat the brave girls
brought down their raised paddles upon
it with such force as to drive it under
water. The girls again raised their only
weapons, and as the head rose to the sur
face they again brought their paddles to
1 I, Il,
When the deer again raised from the
water it seemed to realize that this was
to be the death-struggle, and its eyes
cleaned like balls of fire. 1t made
Iunge and threw its fore feet over the
side of the boat, near the par-locks. This
ne;irly capsized the clumsy craft and
threw Maggie Jordan, the eldest of the
three, into the water; but as she fell she
caught the edge of the boat, and was
hauled in by one of her companions.
Then the heroine ut the oars, as she felt
the animals breath in her face, raised a
paddle and struck for her life, and, as the
blow fell across the doors head, the blood
started from its nostrils and it sank back
helpless and seemingly dead, but really
only stunned. The girls then started for
the shore, leaving the deer struggling,
between life and death, in the water.
Reaching the shore, one Of the girls
ran TO a small log cabin, one-eighth of a
mile distant, in which lived family by
the name of Berger, and told what had |
occurred. Mr.. Berger seized his rife and |
went to the pond, where be found the
wounded deer yet struggling in the water,
a few rods from the shore. He rowed out |
to it and, selling it by the antIcrs, cut its
throat, and then towed its body to the
shore The deer was the largest ever
killed III the neighborhood, weighing 227
pounds.-N y Sun.
