Failing to find countryside abound
ing in deer and other wild game, many
of the hunters who set out from Barre
with high hopes early in the week were
working their way homeward to-day,
yowing that even the Oldest Of their
number could not recall year when
deer made themselves SO persistently
scarce. A slight fall of snow in mid
week favored those who had hit the
trail, but the stuff which furnishes
carpet for tell-tale tracks did not in
crease the death rate among the deer,
not to any appreciable extent. As the
first week of the season draws to close,
only three deer have been brought to the
city. One of them came from Maine
Market men are forced to ask top prices
for venison, and folks who had set their
hearts on a Juicy deer steak for their
Sunday dinner, will probably content
themselves with less highly favored
meats. The deer season ends Wednes-
day.
Two Barre men whose thoughts were
far removed from high adventure when
they left their places of business for din
ner this noon came back to town in a
milk wagon this afternoon, after being,
as they believe, vietimized by two men
in Ford car w. w. Parry locked up
his stoneshed office in Depot square and
was Joined by Walter McHugho. On
their way up town they saw fordear
that resembled the fiiyyer Of neigh
Dor, and so they got aboard. Two men
on the front seat did not wait for quer-
les, but the prov of the puddle hopper
was turned toward Williamstown. De-
spite the protestations Of the passengers,
the driver kept his vehicle in the teeth
of the wind, and ii was not until the
wheels stopped somewhere south Of
Willamstown gulf that explanations
were made. The owner Of the car and
his companion said they were down for
an afternoon Of watchful waiting near
the runway OF herd Of Brookfleld deer,
and with that they drew from some
where under the seat two rifles. Their
passengers, liking but little the pros
pect Of prolonged wait, boarded a pass
ing milk team and headed once more for
Barre.
