Connecticut western news., 1908-05-21

l aire. There were steady streams of people from various directions all day Saturday and Sunday, all desiring a glimpse of this now famous animal which has become so accustomed to bo- ing looked at that it is remarkably tame. MT. Root estimates that he unlocked his barn door fifty times Sunday and nearly as many times Saturday. Even though it puts him to more or less inconveni ence, every request to see the deer has been complied with.
 That Terrible" Deer
 The reports of the capture of the white deer, which have appeared in some of the papers in this section fur nish as fine 8 line of fiction as one would care to read. According to these stories the little deer. not much larger more damage than could be done by an able-bodied cyclone. He has been an ogre, a tyrant, cannibal, heinous monster of half dozen sorts. And the longer the story travels the larger it gets So far as THE NEWS has been able to learn, the little fellow has killed nothing and has destroyed no vegetation worth mentioning. The only damage done by him was to scrape some of the 'bark" off two or three cows. The fear that he might seriously injure cattle with his large horns was what prompted his capture.
 Dandy" Briggs Killed
 Dandy" Briggs is no more. His life was crushed out by Dr. Ross automo- bile Monday. Dandy" was dog, owned by William Briggs. but never was there . dog more generally known or that had more friends In Canan. He possessed unusual intelligence and was general favorite. He was six years old and when he was two years of age, he followed Mrs. Briggs to church one Sunday. She sent him home and never since that day has he attempted to fol- low her to the church although he has accompanied her almost everywhere else. The Briggs family have alluded to this fact dozens of times as an evi- dence of the dogs intelligence. The body was buried near the Briggs livery stable Monday evening and nearly as many people were present as at some funerals. A habit of which the dog could not be broken was that of running in front of automobiles and it was this that caused his death as Dr. Ross was in no way at fault.
