Christiania reports tell us that the
old controversy over the deer grazing
along the border between Sweden and
Norway has broken out afresh and that
there may be some trouble I'm store in
the near future. The controversy
arose in the first place from the fact
that a number of deer belonging to
Sweden were shot on the Norwegian
side of the boundary. A rumor then
spread to the effect that deer belong
ing to Swedish Laps 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
been settled II is claimed that the
tame deer were mistaken for wild elk.
When they had been killed and the
brand marking them had told the tale,
the hunters paid the Swedish Lapps
more than enough to compensate for
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 we'll established fact
that the deer usually disappear from
parts where the elk were numerous.
