LAMED DEER SHOT.
Buck Weighing 142 Pounds Brought Down By. Ezra Burgess and Harold CcHtiin-Venison For Town Farm.


 County Game Warden Arthur Day on Thursday turned over to Mir. and Mrs. Fred Leavens, in charge Of the town farm near Dayvil1e, the carcass of a 6esr shor and killed in the Stearns Hill section Wednesday afternoon.
 The deer first attracted attention to itself by making A dash through the business section of Dantelson. The buck, minus horns St this season, came from the Riverview section crossing the Assawaga river on the ice. The animal was running fast on three legs, the other leg. a hind one, being injured and bleeding.
 As the deer dashed up Reynolds street High School boys followed and as the animal turned in atA the farm of Ezra Burgess they notified MT. Burgess, who joined them in an effort to get the deer. Mr. Burgess took along a shot gun. while Harold Conls- lin had rife. The finally managed to get close enough to the deer to en- able MT. Burgess to get shot. This was not sufficiently effective to kill the deer, however, but MT. Conklin finally brought it down with shot from the rlfle.
 MT. Day was immediately notified of the matter and went to the Burgess place with Game Protector Robert Saunders. MT. Burgess dressed the deer and found that it weighed 142 pounds. MT. Burgess and Mir. Cenk- lin were each given a share of the deer and the remainder was taken to the town farm, where the 22 inmates will be served with venison,
