WHITE DEER
Secured in Maine by Party of Which
 Local Men Were Members

George A. Bartlett and Frank P. F'enton, who have been in the Maine woods hunting big game for the past ten days have returned to their re- spective homes in this city. At the ex- press office Thanksgiving morning four deer were to be seen. two each, con- signed to Bartlett and FentoH, q full allotment for each sportsman. While the hunters were in Maine they went through quite a spell of genuine win ter weather, or it would he considered such around here the lakes being frozen over to cutie an extent.
 The party of which Messrs. Bartlett and E'enton were members had the scod fortune to land q pure white deer. an excellent specimen, and quite rare variety to get even in Maine. The deer was such a beauty that the fish and game commission of the state de- sired it. and the hunters shipped it to Augusta to be mounted.
 For the next few days great stories of the hunt and chase will be told and members of the Muskrat club will have to be silent for a time, until the returned wanderers have exhausted their fund of new and interesting tales.
