CUNNING DEER HUNTERS.
How the south American Indians Prsvide
Themselves with VenIson.

The manner in which the South
American Indians hunt deer in the
Cordilleras is very interesting and
somewhat ingenious. They first ascer-
tain the locality in which the animals
congregate 60 Craze, and then the mon.
women and children of the tribe make
extensive preparations to hem in tho
herd. In order TO cause a stampede
they blow horns, yell and make other
bewildering and outlandish noises. As
q natural consequence the frightened
deer quit their grazing places. They
form in line in regular marching or
der, the elder males leading the way
followed by the females and young.
while the rear OF the column is brought
up by the young bucks, who act Us
protectors to the centars.
The Indians now close in upon them,
seeing which the animals prepare TO
do battle for their lives. The hunters
then proceed to prepare the instru-
ments of destruction, consisting OF
large lances, resinous torches and
nooses fixed to long poles.
The worst enemy OF the deer is the
jaguar and wildcat. and their luminosity
20 them is such that they have been
known to leap over hunter in order
to attack either of these feline foes.
The Indians, knowing this. employ it
to great advantage during these hunts.
The women stuff IA number OF jaguar
and cat skins, which are placed in
prominent positions on the edge OF
precipices in full view OF the deer, says
the Detroit Free Press. Immediately
the bucks make violent effort to get
at them in order to hurl them into the
abyss beneath. but are thus treated
themselves by the willy hunters, who
pitch them over the cliff, where they
are quickly hamstrung or otherwise
disabled by the women, who are sta
toned below. After the first onslaught
on the stuffed figure the remaining
deer seem TO recognize tho fact that
they have been tricked and huddle to-
gether, awaiting another attack.
Then the Indians throw lighted
torches among them and a panic en-
sues. They make desperate efforts TO
escape, but tho relentless hunters drive
them over the crogs until they see that
sufficient number have been captured
generally four or five hundred.
They do not usually harm the females
and fawns, and also allow q few bucks
to escape. Very seldom is a doe
killed, and If fawn is captured It is
Immediately liberated. The flesh is
eaten by the Indians and also carried
to the village to be sold, while the
skins are either purchased by dealers
or made up into various articles by
those who assisted in their capture.
