 WILD DEER APPEARS IN BOROUGH LIMITS
 OF BETHEL.
 A fine specimen of wild deer made its appearance near the residence of Fl. c. Judd on Maple street, last Wednesday seemed to create considerable excitement among a flock of sheep. The animal leaped the wire fences with ease and walked leisurely through the field on to- ward Hickok avenue. From thence 1t turned and came back and disappeared in the woods. The deer was probably 8 buck with quite large antlers and would probably weigh 200 pounds. A score of people witnessed the sight, which has not been seen before in 8 century or more on Shelter Rock. The animal came within 10 or 12 rods of MT Judd's family, where he stopped and gazsd with wonder. A fat sleek deer within gun shot of one's home was teMptisg sight and if your correspondent had not been lawabiline citizen he would have tried his luck deer shooting.

 While John Chinn was lighting the street lamp near Mrs George Andrews, Greenwood avenue, his horse became frightened at boys jumping from the trol- | ley and rau away. In the ds rk less, MT Chinn could not say which way the ani- 1 nal went and supposed he went home Not finding him there he hitched up his l other hUrse and searched all the streets l and barns in the vicinity going down | Grassy Plain street as far as Bedding. l He finally found him late in the evening in John Wiliamson's shed. Mir Chinn had l aot completed the lighting of the lamps | and this fact coupled with his absence in | Reddipg until late in the evening caused | } rnmor to be:started that he had been | thrown out and ipjure or killed. Search ng parties were out in all directions and l he fact that no clew was found created l excitement about town. MT | Chinn was seen this morning and was not 1 Djured in the least, neither was the horse | ,r wagon. It Is remarkable how little a l hing will create rumor and tn 1t rumor | will grow until . terrible accident or | ,rime is the result.
