zIE0FELD OFFERS REWARD
FOR FOUR MISSING DEER

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Florenz
Ziegfeld, jr., is offering a reward
(size and character not revealed).
for the return of four deer, a
Christmas present, delivered to his
Hastings-oh-H Hudson estate.
When they were introduced IN
his wide open spaces, they became
frightened at the two buffalo on
the place, leaped the fence and
were seen no more. Identification
marks are doubtful, so it is likely
any four deer will do. But they
must be alive. II they are venison,
only market prices will be paid.
Furthermore, they are deer and not
dears and they escaped from
Hastings and not the New Am
sterdam Theater.
