MINISTER BOUGHT A BUCK.
But He Had to Take Out Hunters
License.

Rev w. w. Bronx, former Metho-
dist pastor at Wells and Pawlet in this
state, now located in Melrose, N. Y,
and who is much interested in deer
hunting had quite an experience, a
costly one TO him, during the open deer
season which closes tonight. During
that time he was in Wells for the pur.
pose of visiting some old friends, and
II possible to get a shot at deer.
He found that Allie Roberts while
hunting in the town OF Dorset had sho
$50 pound buck, and he learned that
it could be bought. He came to the
conclusion that he would have that
buck and take it back to Welrose and
divide it am ong his parishioners, but
few of whom had ever tasted venison.
He saw Mr. Roberts and soon he had
purchased the buck paying for the
same S35.
The reverend gentleman's trouble
began while on his return home. He
bbdTbcNl iOi tll6 u0di6Sb rdllCOdu htdtAOu,
Granville to ship the carcass home.
When he reached the state line, Game
Warden Black of Rupert approached
the minister, who was told that he
could not take the deer out Of the state
until he had taken out hunting
license. That was the Vermont Law
which like that of the Modes and Per-
SLAMS changes not.
There was considerable discussion
over the matter, but the officer was
firm, and the Reverend gentleman was
oblige to drive back to Wells, ten miles,
find the town clerk, secure the license,
drive back to Granville, find the warden
after the warden had seen the license
he allowed the deer to be shipped to
Melrose,
Mr. Bronx thinks that the next time
he comes into Vermont and gets deer,
either by purchase or shooting, he
will know what to do. He thinks
the price $50 was pretty high for one
deer but that the experience was worth
something. The deer is attracting
much attention in Melrose.
