HARD FIGHT WITH A DEER
A Pennsylvania Boy Kills the Animal vith
a PenkDlfe-

Eenknhe-
Such a thing as hunter having q
hand TO hand encounter with q deer
that he has wounded and has turned
on him to fight for its life Is not unu-
sual; but when a boy of only II years
catches and kills full grown doe.
with no other assistance than his
hands and a rusty old pocket.knife, u
new mark is made for stories OF hunt,
ing adventure.
Benjamin K. Slower is a well to do car
penter living in Aaronsburg and work.
ing wherever his services are demand
ed in that vicinity. His son, Clarence,
having reached his 18th year. is an APP
prentice to the trade of his father. The
two left home to work on job they
had procured about a mile and half
distant, and while walking along the
road they were overtaken by q neigh.
Dor As he was alone in his buggy, he
invited the elder Slower TO ride with
him, the invitation being accepted and
the boy left 70 complete his journey by
himself
In order TO shorten the walk for him
self Clarence decided 20 take a near
cut across some fields, and had Just
started TO climb the fence at the road
side when his attention was attracted
by light ''orunching boof falls" on the
frosty ground. On looking Ia the d.
rection the buggy had taken, he was
startled 70 sec full grown deer trot-
ting toward him. IL had evidently
come ont of the strip of woods In which
the two men had been lost sight Of.
Crouching down in the angle OF the old
"worm" fence. the boy grssped lsrg,
stone and waited
In moment the deer was directly
opposite him, and then he raised and
threw the stone with all his might II
struck the startled deer in the side and
away il sped like the wind. Clsrenca

they turned back in the direction he
was going be thought he would see the
point at which 10 entered the woods al
least Running along. with his eyes
on the ground, he reached the top Of
little knoll in a large field, and. In q
cursory way, looked in all directions.
Imagine his surprise TO see the dees
lying under tree just few rods be-
yond- With another stone he gave Il
second pelt. This time he hit 10 on the
head. and must have dazed IL. for II
sprang 20 its feet and ran directly
toward him.
At this juncture the boy grew de,
perste, and just g. the deer sped by
him he threw himself at IL aud caught
IL by one OF its hind legs Both went
down together and fearful struggle
ensued-
Deer and boy rolled over and over
the marks of the combat were viewed
By many people from the village la.es

wanna on the Ardanhue was civil en-
gineer who had been on one of the
trains wrecked by the insurgents while
en- route across the country. The train
was attacked by the insurgents shortly
after il left Cardenas and the mails
were nansacked. The insurgents took
out all the Spanish mail, and after read
ing it and familfarzing themselves with
the contents, destroyed it. The other
mail matter was not disturbed. He says
he watched General Gomez's army cross
the railroad track and il took il almost
four hours to march across. The rear
of the army was guarded by General
Maceo, to prevent any attack being
made from that direction.
