aker got lost one day last week while hunt
search was made for him he was not found
until o'clock the next afternoon. The
Republican says he wandered over a large

about three miles from the camp and was
heading direct from that haven of rest.
He was thiIty-two hours without food.
There was great rejoicing when the lost
was found. Mr.. Whitaker witnessed

rapid firing OF guns by bis companions and
their shouts had no doubt driven the deer
towards the river, aud during one forenoon
he saw two droves of deer which numbered
