1t Can be Done, but 1t is Not without
Its Disadvantages.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel
The process Of grabbing deer by the tail
Is full of difficulty, but 1t is not to be COM
pared. in that respect. with hanging on
after getting grab on the tail The deer
Is wary. The deer is fleet and its tail is
short, but. In spite of al! difficulty, a man
who is not 100 feet from me as 1 write
caught a young deer by the tail few days
ago, and remained a sort of tail attach
ment over windfall and slough and stump
for a considerable distance.
The man was out in the forest on his big
farm looking for wildcats with an especial
eagerness on account of the bounty OF IS
a cat offered by the authorities. AS he
was wading up the creek with pair of old
shoes protecting his feet from the rocky
bottom he espled fawn at lick. While
he was looking at the little spotted beauty
1t lay down beside log and the hunter re-
solved to get the little animal alive. He
knew that If he could get hold of one or
both of the fawn's hind legs he would sue
coed.
Luckily, the cows of the farm appeared
at that moment. on the way to the creek,
for drink. and the fawn. evidently a fire.
quenter of the pasture, seemed to be Tn
concerned after quick glance at the COWS.
Selling the opportunity, the hunter while
es and sticks. stole up to the log. A mo-
ment later the fawn passed directly in
front Of him, and the hunter made a quick
thrust of his arms to catch the deer by
the hind legs. He partly succeeded, but
in the t1ugsle that followed, with the star
ing cows and yearlings as spectators, the
delicate limbs Of the fawn began to slip
out of the wise Of the human hands, and
somehow or other. in desperation, the man
grabbed the faWn's tail.
The little animal began 20 run, and the
hunter, who is a. very strong man, held
desperately to the tail. Down an old log
ging road they went a little way, and Their
the fawn turned in. 1t could not run very
fast with a man attached to its TAIL but
| the first quarter of mile was done ir
| good time nevertheless. About the begin
| ming of the second the fawn went ovel
! log and headed for thicket. In spite
| of all, the little beauty reached the brust
| and plunged in. The hunter vas scrapet
| off and had the pleasure of seeing the fawr
| join its mother on the other side Of The
thicket and dart off with her into the
| depths of the forest.

that Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson in Wilkesburg
