 E. A. Shaw and Frank Purcell came in last Wednesday night from the Mount Hope country, where they hunted the festive deer in their lair, or at least Ed did, and the way they didn't slaughter the antlered herds was something to read about. On one occasion, when they really did run across a buck as big as one of Ira Georges prize bullocks, Ed Shaw emptied every chamber in an auto. matic rife at the deer while standing broadside (the deer, we mean) to him, without touching a hair. Frank Pur- cell says that Ed hit everything else within a radius of three miles but that deer. As result of the chase the only thing that Shaw brought back with him was a peeled counten- ance, the result of looking old Sol in the face while scanning the hill tops for deer tracks. On the other hand | Frank Purcell says that he killed deer that was so large that one of the hind quarters that he sent to his wife weighed eighty pounds, but refuses to tell whose calf it was.
