URAL. Jan 25.--A stranger asked
for and obtained supper and nights

an excuse to get up and prowl around
While getting together something to
eat he also collected such small arti-
cles as pleased his fancy. In the morn
ing when dressing he attempted to put
on some Of his hosts clothing but
caught in the act he was compelled to
be content with such garments as he
had worn upon his arrival. An hour
or two after his departure Rufus missed
his flashlight and search disclosed
numerous other articles A. w. O. L.
BY that time Rufus had his dander up
and with his son Jack started out in
pursuit They tracked their late guest
for 13 miles, inquiring Of those they
met as to the whereabouts of the man

their man had told him there were
three green trees down across the
road and that he could not possibly
get through unless he had an axe and
saw along. He came on but found nc

OF Weakened Deer
Frees Buck Whose Antlers Were
Locked with Those of Dead
Antagonist.

A most unusual, daring and a
kindly deed performed by young man
of this district, Ted Polette. came to
the attention of the reporter this week.
It appears that Polette was recently
riding his horse through the district
above Trainor hill when he noticed q
buck deer some distance below him,
his attention being attracted by the
peculiar actions Of the animal Look
ing closer he saw hiatt the antlers OF
the deer were locked securely in the
horns of another deer-which was dead
and which was being dragged around
by the live buck. This was another
instance Of a fight to the death be-
tween two bucks, locking of horns,
the death of one and the probable death
OF the other either by starvation or
by falling prey to coyotes or some other
wild animal.
Seeing the plight Of the buck, Polette
decided to attempt to free it. Riding
up beside the. deer--which could no,
run with any speed because Of its load
--Polette sprang from the back ct his
horse onto the deer, threw It and final

But 1t did. 1t must have taken lot OF prac-
