Convention CIoscs-Brief Items. Exhausted after hard battle With the current, which it was un-
 able to negotiate on account of it's l weakened condition, a full grown
 deer Was taken from the Pequabuck l river yesterday afternoon by employees
 in the factories on the banks of the stream, who had watched it's struggle, l rescuing it after it had been carried
 over the dam. The animal was so badly hurt, however that Deputy
 Game Warden Pelton ordered it shot. The deer had been chased out of
 the woods by the pack of dogs. The 1 canines were in close pursuit when the deer reached the Plainville pond and it sought refuge in the waters. The animal had evidently been pur- sued for considerable distance and 1t was so eXha uSted when it entered the stream that it was carried along by the current and drawn over the dam.
 When it was fished out of the wa ter it had given up it's struggles and was barely alive. The deer's rescuers 1 brought it to Eatons grist mill where
 an attempt was made to resuscitate it.
 It was so badly used up, however, that 1 the game warden used a revolver to l end it's misery. ..' This is the second deer that has l been killed here in two weeks. There
 IS a good sized herd of the animals
 making their rendezvous in the woods l in this locality and they frequently
 venture into settled districts. Com l n1 int n- corning the damage wrought by them
