ROME MAN TELLS OF
MAGNETIC EYE OF A DEER
creeps Up en- Herd Of Six That 70
EATING His Bean Vines But 10 I'm
able to Shoot When Buck Looks Him
in the Eye

It is said that up in the town OF
Rome there is a man who believes
that there is a magnetic influence ID
the eve of a deer, and that II would
take something out of the ordinary 70
shake that belief The man has not
entertained the belief but a few weeks
but 1t is deeply rooted nevertheless,
and il was all brought about by some
deer getting into his vegetable gar
den and eating his bean vines. This
made the man mad and he is reported
10 have notified one of the game war
Gers Of the county that if the deer did
not keep out of his bean patch he was
going to shoot some Of EN-. because
beans are high, and he was poor
man and couldn't afford to lose 'em.
The warden told him that there were
certain conditions under which the FISH
ard game laws of the State would all
low him to kill a deer if the animal
were caught in the act of destroying
his crops, and upon receiving this in
formation the owner of the bean patch
appeared to be satisfied. A week or
two went by before the warden and
the owner of the bean patch met again,
but when they did the first question
that the warden asked the other was
how he had made it with the deer in
his bean patch and how many of them
he had killed.
Not sol darned one" replied the
bean man. DO YOU know that last
Sunday morning when 7 looked out of
the kitchen window there was a buck
and FIVE does in my bean patch. 7
was pretty mad and took my gun and
went out the back door determined to
get that buck for I knew that he was
the leader of the herd. and if J should
drop him that would scare the rest
and they would fight shy Of nv gar
den after that
II crept up within so yards Of those
critters before they saw me and when
I riz UP from behind the stone wall
behind the barn. there stood that buck
with his mouth full of bean vines. look
ing me right in the eve Say there
was a look in that critters eve that
said just is plain as if he had said
| the words: Don't shoot and I couldn't
shoot. So I Just lowered my gun and
went back to the house Did I get
any of those deer? Well. I guess not
And say-when me and the wife went
to church that morning those six deer
followed rs clear TO the church door
No sir ] didn't kill any of those deer
an [ amt going TO. an what is more
they can eat UP every col darn bean
vine in that patch for all o. me. Curl
Gus. but il was the look in that bucks
eye that did it."
