offered a capital opportunity for sport,
put fresh dog upon the trail and sep
arated to watch results. Not long af-
terward one of the party saw the deer
and dog coming and secreted himself
in small clump of willows. On they
came, directly towards his place of
cOncealment, and as the deer boun
ded over him he reached up and caught

sistance Of tie dog, held 1t there until
the rest Of the party arrived and the
deer's throat was cut. The captor
was heard to remark atterward that
'splinters and twigs flew in perfect
shower about bis head, but he was
not much injured. The prize was
found to be yearling. Fad it been
full-grown he would probably have
glad TO release his hold long before as
sistance arrived"
