George Mclaughlin of Old Town. aged
IA years, had quite an exciting adven-
ture while out hunting for cartridges
Saturday. He was on sharp look out
for the birds and was wandering along
beside the old NeaZie railroad. Any
one who is used to hunting can i'm
agne his feelings when he ran upon a
large deer and as a weapon he had
with him only a shot gun loaded with
bird shot. Young Mclaughlin could
not, however, resist the temptation to
fire at the deer and the first shot drop
ped the animal. The boy then and up
and cut his throat but the animal did
not die easily and getting on to its
feet started to run away. The boy did
not intend to lose his game at that
stage in the battle and he held on to
the deer while he called for another
hoy and together they managed to fin
ish killing the deer. The animal was a
good specimen and weighed 225 pounds.
Last fall young Mclaughlin got a shot
at a moose in much the same manner
but he was not fortunate enough that
time to capture his game.
