two deer heads, which were brought to
town by Major Towers the other day.
The heads were cut from the animals,
they being found dead, with their horns
so tightly locked together it was impos-
sibe to seperate them. Evidently the
deer had engaged in fight, and become
entangled, had fallen into n ditch and
there died. The heads will be mounted
and kept "for future reference"

breaking through it. They got nothing
for their trouble, but the bank will have
considerable expense in repairing the
