The first story was to the effect that
when Postmaster Nealley saw his first
deer in the woods he became so excit-
ed that he jumped through a camp
window, sash and all. Run down, the
story resolved itself into this: Post
master Neailey and Harvard c. Jordan
were driving to their camp at Green
lake. carrying window sash which
stood back of the dasher. A deer
jumped and snorted close to them,
the horse jumped, and Mr.. Nealley
Yut his feet through the window glass.
So tire story grew. just what Mr..
Jordan did is not clear, but, anyway,
two or three days later he drove into
town with a buck deer.-Ellsworth
