dock shot fine large deer near the H. F.
Kenney place in Knox on Tuesday morning
last: The animal had evidently lived well
during the summer, for he was very fat and
| weighed nearly AGO pounds. When the
| stomach was opened it was found that he
had recently had a generous diet of apples
| and other luxuries common to civilized
| life. 1t is said that two or three others are
| in that vicinity. A good joke is that for
mer resident of the town stopped over night
close by where the deer was shot and the
next morning started for the big woods of
Maine for deer, little thinking that he
| was so near to a herd of them at his old
| home.
