Brainerd. Minn.--Last Sunday noon
says the Brainerd Journal Of May goth, q
wild deer came down Fourth street on
run, having, it is believed, crossed the
river from the West Side. Reaching
Front street the deer turned east fol-
lowew by a number Of dogs. It was ap-
parently very much frightened, and
when 1t got as far as Slipp Bros hard
ware store 1t jumped through the plate
glass window, breaking a pane worth
$75. 1t jumped from point, outside OF
the sidewalk. and landed inside the
store with one foot in a baby carriage
Its head and mouth were badly cut by
the pieces Of glass and it ran in wild e1-
element forward and backward in the
store Col J. G. Congdcn, to prevent
further damage went inside through the
window to capture the animal, when it
ran to the back part Of the store and
tried TO ,go upstairs. Mr.. Congdon
seized one OF It's legs, when 1t turned and
kicked him sguarely in the right eye
with such force that ne saw several thou
Dand stars and half a dozen moons OIL
Ger Preston then appeard upon the
scene. The deer by this time was down
on the floor again, and the two men cap
tured and tied It.. Later DR.. Courtney
sewed up tho gashes cut by the glass and
took the animal over to the Sanitarium,
a few hours afterwards 1t died. 1t was
year old. The flesh around Mr.. Cong
don's right eye presents frescoed ap-
pearance, but the injury ie not serious.
The glass in the front Of Slipp Bros
store gives an exceedingly vivid reflec-
ton of the trees in the railroad park
across the street and the deer probably
thought the reflection was. a grove. /
