CAMBRIDGE. Nd. Dec. 27.-Cap-
tain Herbert Dorman. Of this city,
il credited with q new and uncon-

The skipper. who pilots gasoline
barge, noticed what appeared to be
a large dog swimming in the Poto'
mac River.
On closer inspection the animal
turned out to be a full-grown doe
that had apparently taken to the
water to escape pursuit. Jumping
into rowboat, Captain Dorman pad
died out to the deer, and. slipping a.
rope around it's neck, towed it to his
barge.
Exhaustion had apparently made
the animal as docile as lamp. The
doe was stored in the hold Of the
vessel until Captain Dorman and his
crew reached this city.
State Game Warden Lee, of
LeCompte, authorized Dorman to
crate the animal and ship 1t to the
state game farm at Glyndon where
IL more of the same species are cor
raied.
It is believed the deer, which
weighs $50 pounds, came from the
mountains of Virginia.
