buck deer. and as he fell, Mr.. Filing
wood ran up to do the knife act, when
the deer jumped to his feet and made
a lunge for Mr.. Ellingwood, knocking
him over. and with his horns pinned
him to the ground. On each of the
bucks antlers was a point near the
base about four inches lcng. These
two points passed on each side Of Mr..
Els neck and held him fast. Just a
grain either way would have driven a
prong through the mans neck. After.
a short time the deer fell over dead.
