Bob Cats Nil Another Deer

Warden Frank j. Durgin of The
Forks reports to the Department of
Inland Fisheries and Game that while
in West Forks on the Both, at a place
east of Hugh Comber's Camps, he
found dead deer which had evident
ly been killed by wild cats; there
was . hole in its neck on both sides,
and one hind quarter eaten out of it.
The animal was evidently killed the
day before as the deer was not frozen.
The cats tracks were there, but ow-
ing to the light fall of snow which
came that night, blinded the tracks,
the warden was unable to trace them.
This is only one of many similar re-

he did. it was not in violation OF
the law. The case was heard by
Judge Sawyer about two weeks ago
and was continued In deciding the
case only the second defence was con
