1t is an unusual sight to see a
deer in Wayne county, especially at
this time of the year Last Saturday
morning Anthony Rickert, of Indian
Orchard, saw a fine specimen with
broad fiaring antlers approach his
team of horses while he was at work
in the field. The deer, according to
Mr.. Rickert, came to within 100 feet
from where he stood. For some
time the fleet-footed animal walked
along the Erie railroad just below
the red rock cut Mr.. Rickert called
to the deer and as he did so it ran
over the hill in the vicinity of east
Cherry Ridge. He says it was a
beauty. Another deer or the same
one visited the property of Charles
Wagner, who lives near Grange hall,
Indian Orchard, the same day. The
deer went into Mr.. Weidner's barn
yard.
