+. NJ. Newton gives account of having
pretty close call while out deer hunting
the past week. He had sighted two does

and had stepped behind a beech tree to
get a better aim, when a bullet grazed
the side of the tree behind him. 1t gave
him such start that he lost his chance
at the buck and stepping out to see from
whence the shot came found that he had
been in direct line of the two doe and a
party of two on an opposite rise of ground
who had fired at them. He shouted to
them to know what they were doing that
kind of business for, and upon hearing
him they ran to cover and no clue to
their identity was obtained.
