FIRST DEER IS LOST n ROOSEVELT HERD
 RAN AMUCK AND SHOT

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand, Sept. 21. (P)-A sturdy buck deer, one of 20 Wapiti deer presented to New Zealand by President Roosevelt in 1905, ran amuck and has had to be shot.
 The veteran of the forest wandered away from the rest of the herd, swan lake and threatened the lives of set tiers. He is believed to be the only one of the original herd that has been killed.
 The American president had the deer herd taken from the national zoo- logical park in Washington and turned over to New Zealand officials. Eigh- teen of the deer arrived safely in George Sound and were turned loose in the F'iordland National park, a dis trict so wildly picturesque that it is seldom that game wardens see the animals. but tracks found about streams indicate that the deer have increased rapidly and are ahrivfng in their new home, land which was notable for it's lack of game animals of all sorts before Capt. Cook explored it. The Wapiti deer, as we'll as Vir- ginia deer, also introduced from the United States, are protected from hunters
