- Deer DOmesticated.

: The deer at the Ole Gruben home
is growing nicely and is becoming
quite pet. This deer was found
when small and starving, as some
.oneshad perhaps killed the mother.
The. little animal has the run of the
premises the same as the cattle on
the farm and regularly, as if carrying
it's meals. During the hunting season
it will probably be protected by re-
straining it from running at large. It
has been wearing a bell all summer
that any shunter might know at once
that sltsWass q pet. The state game
and fish commission have given their
approval to it's capture.-Tower News.
