Christiania reports tell us that the
old controversy over the deer grazing
along the border between Sweden and

Sweden were shot on the Norwegian
side of the boundary. A rumor then
spread to the effect that deer belong
Ing to Swedish Lapps were shot down
by Norwegian hunters when they
crossed the border. That the animals
were killed is an actual fact, but
whether it was done Intentionally or
not, is matter that has as yet not
been settled. It is claimed that the
tame deer were mistaken for wild elk.

brand marking them had told the tale,
the hunters paid the Swedish Lapps
more than enough to compensate for
Che deer, but it is not certain that the
Swedish officials will be satisfied with
this. At any rate the guilty hunters
claim that they made their mistake on
account of the fact that the deer were
among the elk. But it seldom or ever
happens that the deer Craze with the
elk and that is just where the point
comes in. 1t IS well established fact
| that the deer usually disappear from
parts where the elk were numerous.
