escaped violent death by the narrowest

end was fastened to the chimney. q
While he was laboring with a shovel,
the rope broke suddenly and he started
to fall to the edge. For some unknown
reason he failed to go over the caves
and hung there unable to move because
he feared that his hold would give
away and allow him to drop thirty feet
to the ground and possibly roll over

A Queer Deer Story That's True.

On Thursday of the last week of deer
season, Pearl Biathrow, William Promo
and Mr.. Powell of Bridgewater were
returning from Woodstock in Mr.. Bath
rows Ford car. Just beyond the up
per edge of Bridgewater village they
came to the ledge on the right hand side
of the highway, at about o. clock, in the
dark, and noticed three deer in the
road. Two of the animals moved to
the side of the road, but the other stood
motionless.
Mr.. Biathrow, thinking to See how
near he could get to the animal, turned
on extra power and came at tUlI speed
to within about ten feet Of IT, "a;ual,
which still stood, dazed by LIE mead
lights. Then the driver jammed on his
brakes to avoid collision, but too late,
and struck the deer, throwing him sew
era. feet. The front wheels went over
the animal, which was then dragged a
little farther under the car before it
stopped and the three men got out to
eXtricate the animal
The deer was found with body under
the car and head extending out be-
tween the front and rear wheel on one
side, supposedly nearly dead. Mr.
Biathrow got into the Ford, thinking it
the easiest way to run the rear wheel
over the animals neck, put him into
the car end take him home. The other
men stood at the roadside, watching.
The instant the car had passed over
him the deer jumped up, joined the
others and vamoosed. The men made
little search, and the next morning,
there being little snow on the ground,
Mr.. Biathrow returned to the trail,
waich was plain, but could find no deer,
and no indication but what he went off
as easily as the others.
