ent spring the county warden notified
the deputies to be on the lookout for
fawns and the pair of pretty creatures
now covered with the white spots of
the first few weeks growth, is the re-
suit
The buck, which is by far the strlr-
der animal, came from the farm of
Curhel Vaughn in the Maple Hill dis
trict Of Arlington and was discovered
by Mr.. VaIghn's little son, George on
June 10. TIE discovery of the fawn
was reported to County Warden Chase
by Deputy II. p. Loziaer and on July
18th the little fellow was brought to
Bennington and placed in the park.
The doe came from Winhall and
was taken In that town July "a, hav-
ing been rescued from a dog by Road
Commissioner Herbert o. Coleman in
his meadow near the village of Bond
vile. Deputy William Howard noti-
lied Warden Chase of the capture of
the fawn and on the 24tn of July it
was taken down the mountain to Man
chester and expressed to Bennington.
While being confined in Winhall the
doe became frightened while being
viewed by a large number of people
and attempted to Jump through a
small window and sprained its for
ward legs, but 1t has recovered and Is
today as lively as a rabbit.
Warden Chase's instructions to bis
deputies resulted in the capture of

two little fawns, a buck and a doe.
The fawns particularly the buck are
almost as tame as domestic animals,
The buck which was captured soon
after birth before 1t had time to learn
the wild habits of its kind, has no
more fear of human being than calf
of tne same age The doe ran wild
with its mother in the woods for a
number of days and is therefore not

buck.
1t has been the desire of Superin-
tendent Harmon for several years to
secure some young deer of the same
age and the matter was placed before
State Fish and Game Commissioner
II. G. Thomas. The commissioner
was interested but could not see just
how tae animals were to be capt'lr-
ed. At the banquet of the Manches-
ter Fish and Game club some two
years ago he spoke of Col. lannon's
request to County Game Warden Har-
ry Chase who agreed to procure the
deer If possible. An attempt to carry

PANTHER SEEN IN
EAST PART OF
SUNDERLAND
Attorney Paul Deming Reports
Discovery s.. q
BEAST SEEN IN THE HIGHWAY
Was In Plain Sight for Several Min
utes and Disappeared in Brush
Alongside Road
BEAST SEEN IN THE HIGHWAY

Unless Martin Paul Deming, the
well known Arlington attorney, is
mistaken, panther, the most savage
animal of North American outside Of
the grizzly bear of the Rocky Noun
tains, is roaming in the wild section
of country comprising the eastern
half OF the town of Sunderland.
Mr. Deming, is positive that the an
imal seen by him July 2S on the main
road leading from Sunderland to
Wardsboro is nothing more or less
than panther, couger, painter or
mountain lion, the different names by
which this largest member of the cat
family on this continent is known.
The animal was seen in the early
morning by Mr.. Deming while walk
ing along the highway near the old
Ward place west of the North Alder
brook Mr. Deming had stopped in
the road to punch into action with
stick hedgehog which was amblng
along the road ahead of him when the
panther sprang into the highway
from the bordering shrubbery and
walked slowly ahead of him for a dis
lance of nearly so feet and then jump
ed into the brush on the opposite side
Mr.. Deming is positive that the an
imal was panther. He states that
he has seen several specimens in cap
tivity and does not believe that he
could be mistaken. He cannot be
convinced that the animal was bob
cat. as the tail was long and the large
size of the beast does not admit of
any such conclusion.
Game Warden Harry Chase to
whom Mr.. Deming reported the pan
Their, has received word from State
Fish and Game Commissioner Thomas
that a panther has recently been seen
in the town of Stowe by several per
sons.
