| II. Putnam of this city. who have a
camp on the shore of the Nequasset
Lake, had an interesting experience
| Sunday. They were seated on the
| shore in front of their camp when one
of them saw two deer swimming across

padded towards the deer which We're

other a doe. The buck resented the
action of the canoeists and in his an

Putnam who withdrew to the rear.
The deer went ashore and stood looking
at them for some time before saunter-
ing away into the woods.
