1t has often been source of dis
pute as to what became of the horns
that every buck sheds each year.
The Democrat man knows what be-
came of one set, for he found fine
one that buck at Brevort had
dropped, and the mice, squirrels and
hedge-hogs were already making
their meals off it. These animals
devour the horns for the salt con-
tanned in them, and it is astonish-
ing how quickly they will get away
with a whole set of antlers. Charlie

Two sons of John Mathes while
driving around the head of the bay
one day last week, saw large deer
in the water, evidently having been
pursued by dogs. The boys sue
ceeded in getting the deer ashore,
brought it to town and notified
Patrick Culliney, county game and
fish warden. The animal was
completely exhausted and was
placed in barn, but the following
day was all right and was released.
The testimony of three witnesses
showed that the bows desired only
to save the animals life, and no
action was taken against them for
violation of the game law in captur-
ing the deer.
