DEER SOME FIGHTER
Truthful Tale Told by VeraCiOus
WeS Peterson.
Deer Was Killing the Stage Driver
When Horse Kicks Him (Deer)
to peath-Extra Ration For
Horse as Reward.

Ukiah.-Here is the gold medal deer
story OF the season:
II Is the tale Of IVES Peterson, the
amiable stage driver Of Anderson val
ley, who has u scrupslous regard for
the game law and Il kind heart for all
deer-out OF season-and OF Yves dap
per bay mare, Diana. who loves her
master with deep affection and cares
naught for the fact that deer are Inn
mune from the death penalty after
August 81.
AS Peterson was driving his stage
near Philo he espied two deer In the
road ahead of his team, Evidently the
deer knew that they were protected
by law. for they made no effort to fee
before the stage. Wes had his trusty
rife with him, but he is a conscien.
tious stage driver and would not sue
cumb to temptation, as many another
man In the remote Businesses Of An
derson valley might. He merely said
DO" to the deer, or Get thee behind
me. Satan" or words to that effect.
When the deer had grown tired Of
tantali2ing the law abiding Yves they
turned from the road and leaped up
an embankment. A wire fence wal
strung along at the edge Of the bank,
and this the deer sought to clear. One
of the animals hurdled the fence with
out difficulty, but the buck, who car
ried a heavy head of horn. became en-.
tangled in the wire and could not ex-
tricate Itself.
Peterson could not bear to see the
deer in anguish and left the stage, in.
tending to free the animal and start It
off happily on it's journey with it's
mate.
He had no difficulty In extricating
the deer, but there was no reward for
him. Instead OF showing gratitude, the
deer turned savagely with It's horns
and attacked its liberator, sinking the
prongs into the stage drivers body.
Yves wished that the legislature had
taken pains to pass a closed season
law for men, but 1t was too late then
to call an extra session. He must fight
for his life with the ungrateful and
Infatuated beast. He grappled with
the animal, ~clutching its head and a
foot to saw himself from the horns
and sharp hoofs. Together the two
rolled down the embankment TO where
the team was standing.
Peterson thought that the deer
would become frightened by the proI.

palace added to the misery Of the
young empress. She noticed that the
czar was angry at her because she
was "~endeavoring to introduce in Rus
sia western reforms and that she con-
sidered herself, more intelligent than
the entire household in the palace"
In the meantime storms of unrest
had broken out In the land, and or
ders were given to pacify the discon-
tented at all cost. The empress did
not know of the horrors that were per,
petrated in Russia, and when she
learned of them she consoled herself
in the thought that all the cruelties
directed against the Russian people
were not committed by order Of the
car. She believed that the car, like
herself, was ignorant of what was 60
ing on In the land.
But she soon found out her error.
Then her suffering grew ever more in
tense. She looked with disgust upon
the clique surrounding her, upon their
hypocritical smiles and greetings, but
she was unable to change anything
even in the palace. 1t was then that
she became seriously Ill,
When the empress had recovered
she divided her time between her chill
dren and her desk. She turned once
more to the reading of books and also
devoted considerable time to writing.
Nevertheless the feeling that she was
alone and misunderstood in the palace
weighed heavily upon her. She grew
ever more and more melancholy.
One day, after having worked for
some time upon the tragedy she was
writing, the empress entered the
cars study. She found him seated at
bis desk looking over docu.
ments. He frightened up when sbe
entered and he kissed her hands.
why are you 50 sad?" she asked.
:" am thinking Of the future of our
children" he replied.
The empress looked at him sur.
prised.
Il do not understand" she began,
looking into his troubled eyes.
"A plot has Just been unearthed,"
he said c%heerfully. yet with a shade Of
confusion.
"0h. ] know about It"
NO, / mean another plot-a new
one. They have Just learned OF 1t to-
day" And shaking his head he
added:
DO you understand now?"
And he described to her In detail
the conspiracy OF the ~terrorists
against his life. They became more
sad than before. The shadow OF dan
ger was still lowering over their
heads.
They ~endeavored to calm each 9th.

authority, but when a matter requires
energy and determination you yield to
the first adviser who knows hoW to In

Then the empress spoke more softly.
Il understand that you often find
yourself in an embarrassing position
But you believe everything that should
be repulsive to you. You yield to fiat
terry and"
MY dear, do not talk TO nc about
these fables. You and | cannot think
of anything that will charge all this.

ter, others will demand fire. All
could d o would be to make some con
cessions. Otherwise everything must
remain as it is. 1t must be 80. Do
you understand"
The czar seemed pleased with his
words. He leaned back in his arm
chair and added angrily:
Il have tried everything"
But ! cannot 60 on like this" cried
the empress. Il cannot. | am going

] am afraid to look at myself! When
l e myself in a mirror / am seized
with terror"
"Wha can / do? You must consult
the physicians"
The empress looked at him angrily
and SHOOT her head.
Perhaps things will run more
smoothly when you will be a widow"
said the car, rising from his seat and
running back and forth in his study.
THAT is nonsense" he said sud
denly and rang the bell, pausing in
the center OF the DON perplexed.
When the servant entered the czaf
shouted and stamped his feet. The
empress had tainted. She was taken
to her room and remained for q long
time under the care of her physicians.
The czar neglected all important az
fairs Of state when the empress was
i'll. In the evening the minister OF
the inter- or arrived at the palace with
ar important report. When he was
ushered into the cars study the
car shouted at him n~ervously:
For Gods sake leave me alonei
The empress is i'll! Do whatever You
likei 1t is all the same to me-"
When the minister of the interior
offered a few words OF consolation the
czar interrupted him:
II know youl ! know everything! I
know you ALI" and be waved his
hand.
The minister OF the interior walked
out OF the cars study confused and
Inundated.
And the minister OF the interior
heard the car shouting to himself:
Monarchy, constitution, anarch&
Even my nearest are against me-"
The health Of the empress wal shat
tered and for a long time she was SUI.
from a nervous breakdown.
During that Illness various rumors
we're spreading In the palace. II was
said that the czarina was planning to
leave the palace and return to her "a
tive land. It was then also rumored
that she wanted the ear to abdicate
and leave Russia. But all knew that
she rebuked the czar for his lack Of
will power and determination.
