Wounded Deer Found in Field

About 4:30 o'clock last Saturday
afternoon while some local sportsmen
were returning from a rabbit hunt on
Meadow Mountain they discovered a
deer in a buckwheat field near this
village. The animal seemed to have
zen shot and ably wounded by some
nters earlier in the day as it is said
that one front leg appeared to be
broken and there were wounds from
which blood was issuing along its
side and hind legs. The deer seemed
to be suffering from the effects of its
injuries and would allow the men to
approach within a rod of it but would
then hobble away a short distance.
1t gave battle to dog that approach
ed too near. An effort was made to
communicate with the district game
warden but he could not be located.
Who wounded the deer and what
became of it after the returning hun
tiers left it in the field is not known.
The animal was a young doe and it
is hoped that the lawless hunter who
did the shooting may be apprehended
and severely punished.
